Guide
Depending on how good you are at landing all 3 Water Shurikens, it's a solid alternative to Surf. However with Surf if you last hit with it you get an instant CD similar to Gengar's Hex when he uses Sludge Bomb. If you use this build that focuses on attack speed and damage of your auto attacks you'll be able to quickly melt health bars and Surf them for some extra healing.
This build focuses on using Attack Weight to score multiple times, don't worry on how big the score is, just score a lot to quickly turn your Auto Attacks into a machine gun if machine guns shot bricks.
I chose Eject over Full Restore for once, because Greninja is extremely squishy and chances are if you get caught in a CC you're already dead so the extra dash to catch up/disengage comes in handy more often. Try to stay at max range of your auto attacks when engaging in a fight to prevent easy CC opportunities for the enemy.
You're gonna wanna pick up Smokescreen over Double Team since it not only makes you invisible for a brief period but it also gives your next attack a dmg buff. If you Smokescreen before you enter a fight you'll be able to 2-3 auto hit them down to Surf range and then just rinse and repeat. (Literally with Surf)
Greninja also has one of the worst Unite Moves in my opinion, you don't get shields while casting, so I recommend to use it for the following scenarios for a speed boost:
1. Before entering a big Team Fight
2. Escaping a scuffed Team Fight
3. Chasing down an opposing Pokemon
4. After taking Zapdos to get to an enemy Goal
