Guide
This is Greninja's standard attack damage carry build that involves maneuvering around and confusing targets with Double Team, then quickly following up with Water Shuriken while circling them. Note that the illusions created by Double Team will shoot out their own Shurikens, adding more damage. The key to this build is proper positioning, ensuring each shuriken and each standard attack hit the target.
Muscle Band and Scope Lens are your core damage items, giving you ample firepower throughout the game. They also help you secure Wild Pokemon faster so you can get to your move upgrades faster. For defense, Buddy Barrier boosts Greninja's HP, increasing its overall survivability. Additionally, the item works great with your Unite Move, especially once you start using it aggressively.
Eject Button acts as an escape tool for bad situations and a repositioning tool to better land Water Shuriken. If you have a hard time lining up shurikens, you can equip Slow Smoke instead to keep opponents in place.
Your Boost Emblem loadout should consist of 7 Red Emblems for maximum Attack Speed and 4 Emblems of any color. Equip Emblems that improve Attack or Critical-Hit Rate since most of your damage will come from attacks. You can freely trade Sp. Atk. Sp. Def., and Defense.
Works Well With
Greninja is quite squishy and need shielding from block. The sleep from yawn and the stun from heavy slam also makes it easy to nerf opponents.
The shielding ability from rock tomb and it’s ability to pin Opponents can be quite handy,
