Ranged Build Explanation

This build is centered on dealing damage and sustaining HP using Water Shuriken and utilizing the illusion mechanic from Double Team. It can be used in any lane, preferably the bottom lane.

• Muscle Band improves Greninja's attacks by dealing HP-based bonus damage.
• Attack Weight provides Greninja a massive damage boost for both its attacks and moves, especially when fully stacked.
• Focus Band improves Greninja's durability and gives it more healing on top of Water Shuriken.
• X Attack gives Greninja more damage for faster knockouts.
• The build's Boost Emblem loadout should consist of 6 Brown Emblems for more damage and 6 White Emblems for additional HP. This can be achieved by having at least two (2) Emblems that are both Brown and White.
• Equip Emblems that improve Attack or Critical-Hit Rate to maximize Greninja's attack and move damage.
• Sp. Atk. Sp. Def., and Defense can be freely traded for the other stats.

Ranged Build Damage and Healing Test

Items (Level 30)	Standard Attack (@ Lvl 15) Standard Attack (w/ Critical-Hit) (@ Lvl 15)	Water Shuriken Damage (Total) (@ Lvl 15) Healing (Per Hit) (@ Lvl 15)
Muscle Band + Attack Weight (6 Stacks)	925 1490	5420 179

Since the build is centered on Water Shuriken and ranged attacks, equipping items that increase the move's effectiveness and Greninja's ranged attacks is the ideal item combination. Focus Band is a staple item for the build, giving Greninja more sustain and durability.

As the results show, a Muscle Band and a fully-stacked Attack Weight will yield the best outcome for the build. Although the item combination did average in the critical-hit tests, it did score the highest in terms of Standard and Boosted Attacks, and Water Shuriken damage and healing.

For alternatives, replacing Attack Weight with Razor Claw would be the best option. The item combination produced the second best score in all tests and still deals a high amount of damage output.

However, should critical-hit become a factor, replacing Attack Weight with Scope Lens instead is the ideal choice.

Assassin Build

Assassin Build

Surf Smokescreen			Muscle Band Scope Lens Attack Weight

Note: The emblem color and stats here are suggestions only. The builds are still viable even without the suggested emblems.

Assassin Build Explanation

This build utilizes the instant knockout and cooldown reset mechanics from Surf to take out targets one by one and the stealth from Smokescreen to allow Greninja to sneak up on enemies. It's best used in the jungle to give Greninja an early level advantage.

• Muscle Band improves Greninja's attacks by dealing HP-based bonus damage. It also synergizes well with the Pokemon's melee attacks.
• Scope Lens makes Greninja's attacks deadlier by increasing its critical-hit rate and damage.
• Attack Weight provides Greninja a massive damage boost for both its attacks and moves, especially when fully stacked.
• However, Rapid-Fire Scarf can be a replacement for Attack Weight, giving Greninja a massive attack speed, particularly for its melee attacks.
• X Attack gives Greninja more damage for faster knockouts.
• The build's Boost Emblem loadout should consist of 6 Brown Emblems for maximum damage and 6 White Emblems for additional HP. This can be achieved by having at least two (2) Emblems that are both Brown and White.
• Equip Emblems that improve Attack or Critical-Hit Rate to maximize Greninja's attack damage.
• Sp. Atk. Sp. Def., and Defense can be freely traded for the other stats.

Assassin Build Damage Test

Items (Level 30)	Standard Attack (@ Lvl 15) Boosted Attack (@ Lvl 15)	Standard Attack (w/ Critical-Hit) (@ Lvl 15) Boosted Attack (w/ Critical-Hit) (@ Lvl 15)
Muscle Band + Scope Lens + Attack Weight (6 Stacks)	925 1038	1980 2364

Since the build relies bringing down a target's HP low enough for Surf to instantly knock it out, equipping items that enhances Greninja's attacks is the ideal item combination.

As the results show, Muscle Band, Scope Lens, and a fully-stacked Attack Weight will yield the best outcome. Although the item combination did not generate the highest Standard and Boosted Attack damage, its result is only slightly lower than the highest score but produced the best critical-hit results.

For alternatives, it will ultimately depend on whether a player prefers better Standard Attacks or better critical-hits.

For a build with better Standard Attacks, replacing Scope Lens with Razor Claw would be the best option. On the other hand, for a build with better critical-hits, replacing Attack Weight with Razor Claw would be the best choice.

Be Aware of Your Positioning

Positioning is everything when it comes to using Greninja effectively. Keeping aware of Greninja's position in relation to the opponents will help set up smoother KOs, and snowball the game in its team's favor.

Farm Safely Until Level 7

Greninja reaches its peak offensive potential at Level 7 when it learns Surf or Water Shuriken. Avoid engaging in team fights early on to focus on farming Wild Pokemon.

Take the Jungle for Safer and Faster Farm

The most efficient and safest way to get levels is by taking the jungler role. Greninja has enough mobility and damage to clear the jungle camps quickly.

Be Elusive

One of Greninja's moveset gives it its trademark elusiveness, allowing it to make clever plays. Although both moves are Dash moves, each has their use in specific scenarios.

Confuse Enemies with Double Team

The illusions created from Double Team mimics Greninja's actions in the game. If it uses Surf or Water Shuriken, the illusions will do the same. Use this unique mechanic to confuse enemies and force them to guess the real one.

Note	The illusions also deal small damage when they attack.

Double Team: Greninja Move Effect and Cooldown

Utilize the Stealth and Vision Obstruction from Smokescreen

Using Smokescreen turns Greninja invisible for a while and obstructs the vision of opponents who are caught inside it. Both effects are useful for surprising targets or getting close to them.

Smokescreen: Greninja Move Effect and Cooldown

Avoid Hindrances

Greninja gains the Unstoppable status effect for a short duration when it uses Double Team or Smokescreen, allowing it to become immune to hindrances for that time window. With proper timing, Greninja can completely avoid certain moves like Flare Blitz with this mechanic.

Switch Between Ranged and Melee Attacks

By default, Greninja is a ranged Pokemon, but if it attacks at close range, it performs melee attacks. Both attacks have special effects that give Greninja some flexibility. Switching between ranged and melee attacks is an important mechanic to utilize Greninja.

Use Ranged Attacks to Reduce Move Cooldowns

Greninja's ranged attacks reduce the cooldown of Bubble, Water Shuriken, or Surf. Use ranged attacks if Greninja's moves are still on cooldown to hasten the process and to chip away the targets' HP from a safe distance.

Use Melee Attacks to Finish Off Targets

Greninja's melee attacks deal increased damage the lower the target's HP is, allowing it to burst them down quickly. Use Double Team, Smokescreen, or Waterburst Shuriken to get close to your targets, then keep hitting them with melee attacks until they get knocked out.

Moreover, melee attacks are great for setting up Surf and triggering its cooldown reset.

Utilize Torrent

Greninja's passive ability, Torrent, increases its Attack and movement speed when its HP is at half or below. Greninja can turn things around even at low HP, but be extremely cautious as the Pokemon might just end up getting knocked out. Knowing when to continue fighting and to retreat is key to utilizing the ability.

Torrent: Greninja Ability Effect and Cooldown

Set the Tempo

As the team's carry, Greninja will be setting the tempo of the game depending on how active it is in the map. Greninja needs to be the one making plays for its team to allow for smoother transitions between each phase of the game.

Hunt Targets

Greninja excels in a 1v1 fights since due to its damage and trickery. Roam around the map and hunt targets if possible to give the team space and time to reach their power spikes.

Secure Objectives

Greninja should also focus on securing objectives like Regieleki for its team, whether it's taking them by itself or stealing them from enemies. Greninja can use Surf and/or Waterburst Shuriken to steal or secure objectives.

Steal Farm from the Enemy

If Greninja is not hunting targets or securing objectives, it should be stealing farm from the enemy, particularly in their jungle. Use Surf or Water Shuriken to farm wild Pokemon as fast as possible. If things go awry, use Smokescreen or Double Team to quickly escape.

Ranged, Fragile Pokemon with High Damage
How to Beat
• Much like Greninja, these Pokemon prefer to keep their distance from opponents when fighting. They also have high damage potential that can take out Greninja quickly. However, they are fragile and can get knocked out by Greninja fast. • Head straight for them by initiating with Waterburst Shuriken to deplete their HP and force them to play defensively, then finish them off with Surf or Water Shuriken. • Use Smokescreen or Double Team to dodge their attacks.

Use Smokescreen or Double Team and Kite Them

All-Rounders
How to Beat
• These Pokemon excel in close combat and rely mostly on their attacks or combos to deal damage. They are also durable enough to tank Greninja's damage. However, they're melee and are susceptible to getting kited from range. • Use Smokescreen or Double Team to dodge their attacks or combos and keep a safe distance from them, then kite them with ranged attacks and Water Shuriken, or kite them with ranged attacks first and finish them off with Surf. • As a last resort, use Waterburst Shuriken to quickly deplete their HP before finishing them off.

Dodge Their Burst Damage, Then Retaliate

High-mobility Pokemon with Burst Damage
How to Beat
• These Pokemon are incredibly agile and deal high burst damage. However, they become vulnerable when they miss their burst damage attempt. • Use Smokescreen or Double Team to dodge their moves, then retaliate with Water Shuriken and attacks, or quickly deplete their HP with attacks first and finish them off with Surf. • Alternatively, Greninja can use Waterburst Shuriken after dodging their moves to quickly deplete their HP, then finish them off with Water Shuriken or Surf.

Take Them Out First

Supporters
How to Beat
