Guide
Start with Substitute to barely roll through the wall and begin jungle immediately. This must be spaced properly or you won't make it through the wall.
Alternatively, you can start with Bubble and go straight for the top lane to let another teammate jungle. Take advantage of Greninja's melee basic attack's burst to take out as many wild Pokémon as possible.
When jungle is finished, go wherever help is needed, and go back to the jungle whenever possible. Use Smokescreen before using Surf because Smokescreen gives an Attack boost for a short time (level 13+). This also helps with basic attacks, as these are always physical.
Try to score as often as possible to max out the Attack Weight as soon as you can. This will let you really start dishing out some damage.
Since Greninja heavily relies on basic attacks, Rapid-Fire Scarf is very useful in dealing some extra damage just a little bit faster. Paired with red and brown boost emblems, this can be a huge damage-dealer.
