Greninja, also known as Gekkouga (ゲッコウガ, Gekkouga), is a fictional creature from the Pokémon series. It appears as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4.

Creature description

Greninja is depicted as a fast, ninja-like dual-type Water/Dark Pokémon in the Pokémon games. This trend is continued in the Super Smash Bros. series, where it can be seen using ninja-like techniques such as Water Shuriken and Substitutes. It is the final evolution of the Kalos starter Froakie, evolving into its second form Frogadier at level 16 and finally into Greninja at level 36.

Trivia

  • Greninja's official artwork in Super Smash Bros. 4 is similar to its official artwork in Pokémon X and Y with a few minor differences; its stance is a little more tilted to the right, its left foot is in front, and its right foot is in the back in its Smash 4 artwork.
  • Not counting Roy, who debuted in Melee, Greninja is the first playable character to debut on the same console as the first Smash Bros. game it is playable in.
