Greninja is just too cool. Ash-Greninja is even more cool. Your goal with this Mon is to get in and hit hard. Here’s the best Ash-Greninja Moveset in Pokemon Sun and Moon:
Recommended Ability:
Battle Bond
To turn into Ash-Greninja, you need to KO an opponent. This will activate his Battle Bond ability. His water Shuriken is a priority move that has 20 power and hits 3 times for an average of 60 power.
Recommended Moveset:
Water Shuriken
Hydro Pump
Dark Pulse
U-Turn/Ice Beam
Water Shuriken, Hydro Pump and Dark Pulse are your STAB moves. Dark Pulse has flinch potential so you can use Greninja speed and try to get the flinch going. Ice beam will cover any Mons that is resistant to dark and water but if you want Greninja to be an in and out Mon, you can try U-Turn. The only downside is it would be bad if they have things like spikes on the field.
Recommended Items:
Life Orb
The idea here is simple; get in and hit hard. Life orb increases your damage by 30 percent at the cost of a bit of HP.
Recommended Nature:
Timid
Timid increases speed and decreases attack. Speed is one of the things that makes this Mon a super threat. Be sure to max it out. This also will make it easier to activate battle bond.
Last Tips:
If you run U-Turn, you can counter people who try to counter the damage of your Greninja by bringing out a dark type.
If you don’t like to run Life Orb, you can try running Choice Specs to increase your special attack by 50 percent, but only allow the use of one move. This would work because, again, you want to get in, hit the opponent hard and get out if it’s the right situation to switch Mons.
