Greninja, a dual Water/Dark-type Pokémon, is a bipedal frog-like creature that greatly resembles a {{s|wikipedia|ninja}}; it wraps its long tongue around its mouth in emulation of a scarf. It is the final evolved form of the Kalosian starter Pokémon {{s|bulbapedia|Froakie}}, evolving from the intermediate {{s|bulbapedia|Frogadier}} from level 36 onward. It is categorized within the {{s|bulbapedia|Pokédex}} at #658 as the "Ninja Pokémon". | Greninja, a dual Water/Dark-type Pokémon, is a bipedal frog-like creature that greatly resembles a {{s|wikipedia|ninja}}; it wraps its long tongue around its mouth in emulation of a scarf.

According to the Pokédex and based on its statistics in the ''Pokémon'' games, Greninja is extremely fast, to the point that it has the highest raw speed statistic of any starter Pokémon (not counting Mega Evolution). Fittingly, it relies on this speed in battle to confound its prey with swift, ninja-like grace before striking with its {{iw|bulbapedia|Water Shuriken|move}} move, which is said to be able to shear metal.

Initially, it was the only Pokémon able to learn [[Water Shuriken]]—which it uses in ''Super Smash Bros.''—and {{iw|bulbapedia|Mat Block|move}} (used in ''Smash'' during [[Secret Ninja Attack]]), where it flips a tatami mat in front of itself to shield itself and its allies from incoming attacks. Besides these two unique moves, it has access to a diverse range of offensive and status moves; while its standard ability is, as every Water type starter Pokémon, {{s|bulbapedia|Torrent}}, its [[bulbapedia:Ability#Hidden Abilities|Hidden Ability]] is the rare {{s|bulbapedia|Protean}}, which changes its type to match each move it uses and ensures it gets the maximum possible power out of every attack, allowing it to take advantage from its large range of available moves. | ||

This Greninja has the unique {{s|bulbapedia|Battle Bond}} {{s|bulbapedia|ability}}, which allows it to transform into its more powerful "Ash-Greninja" form after defeating a Pokémon, which initially debuted in the ''Pokémon'' anime. In ''Sun and Moon'', “Ash-Greninja” can only be used by male Greninja, and cannot breed. | ||
Greninja has made multiple appearances in the ''Pokémon'' anime, but is most notable for being {{s|bulbapedia|Ash Ketchum}}'s [[bulbapedia:Ash's Greninja|ace Pokémon]] during the {{s|bulbapedia|XY series}}. Having been part of Ash's party ever since Ash received it from {{s|bulbapedia|Professor Sycamore}}, the Pokémon developed a close bond with Ash throughout the series as it trained and evolved, eventually gaining access to its strengthened "Ash-Greninja" (coined by {{iw|bulbapedia|Bonnie}}) form because of [[bulbapedia:Bond Phenomenon|the connection between Pokémon and Trainer]]. | Greninja has made multiple appearances in the ''Pokémon'' anime, but is most notable for being {{s|bulbapedia|Ash Ketchum}}'s [[bulbapedia:Ash's Greninja|ace Pokémon]] during the {{s|bulbapedia|XY series}}.
