How to Use Double Team

Great for 1v1 Fights

The illusions created by Double Team can deal damage and use Surf or Water Shuriken just like Greninja. If there is only one target available, the illusions will focus on that target alone. However, the damage dealt is far weaker than the real Greninja. Nonetheless, using Double Team in a 1v1 fight adds more firepower.

Copy Illusions' Actions

Illusions follow a specific pattern of actions once they appear. They will use Surf or Water Shuriken on enemies, then keep attacking until they expire. You can force enemies into guessing which is the real Greninja by copying the illusions' actions.

This is hard to pull off because of the auto-lock setting in the game. Enemies can still guess accurately which one is the real Greninja.
