Base Stats

Base Greninja is fast (122 Speed) and mixed (95 Attack / 103 Special Attack) on a fragile 72/67/71 body. Mega Greninja jumps to 125 Attack, 133 Special Attack and a ferocious 142 Speed — among the fastest in the format — while bulk stays thin. The whole package is built on speed and Protean flexibility, not survivability.

Form	HP	Atk	Def	SpA	SpD	Spe	BST

Mega Greninja	72	125	77	133	81	142	630

Type Matchups

Abilities

• Protean (Greninja & Mega) — changes Greninja's type to match the move it uses, so every attack gets the 1.5x STAB bonus. This lets a single Greninja threaten with Water, Dark, Ice, Poison, Rock and Fighting coverage all at full power, making its moves hard to predict and hard to switch into.
• Torrent (Greninja) — boosts Water moves below one-third HP; almost never run over Protean.

Best Moveset

With Protean every move is boosted, so Greninja is really a coverage-pick problem for the opponent. Its best doubles tools:

Fast mixed attacker (Mega Greninja)

• Water Shuriken — multi-hit priority that gets Protean STAB; excellent for picking off weakened, faster threats and breaking Focus Sash / Substitute.
• Dark Pulse — Dark STAB with flinch chance; Greninja becomes Dark-type as it fires.
• Ice Beam or Blizzard — coverage for Dragon, Flying and Grass; Blizzard is the spread option.
• Protect — essential safety on such a frail attacker.

Coverage / utility options

• Hydro Pump / Surf — hard-hitting single-target or spread Water STAB.
• Gunk Shot — Poison coverage that smashes Fairy types.
• Icy Wind — spread Speed control while still doing damage.
• Spikes / Toxic Spikes / Taunt — fast utility if you want disruption over a fourth attack.

Other tools include Liquidation, Rock Slide, U-turn, Shadow Sneak, Swords Dance and Tera Blast.

Suggested SP Spread

With the Champions SP system (66 points, max 32 per stat), Mega Greninja maxes Speed and its primary attacking stat — Special Attack for a special set, Attack for a Water Shuriken / Gunk Shot physical set — with an offensive Stat Alignment. With 142 base Speed it rarely needs more bulk; keep the points on offense. Tune the numbers in the PikaChampions team builder.

Competitive Role in Regulation M-A

Greninja is a hyper-offense scalpel. Protean means it can pick the perfect type every turn, so it pressures the entire field and is genuinely hard to wall — there is no single switch-in that resists all of Water, Dark, Ice and Poison. Mega Greninja's 142 Speed lets it outrun nearly everything unboosted, and Water Shuriken gives it Protean-boosted priority to finish off faster threats or snipe through Sash. The catch is its paper-thin bulk: it dies to most super-effective hits and even strong neutral ones, so it leans on Tailwind, redirection and pivoting to fire and flee. As a fast, unpredictable mixed attacker for offensive teams in Regulation M-A, it has few equals.

Evolution Line
