Greninja

Greninja

Greninja is a frog-like Pokémon introduced in Generation IV and appears as a playable character playing for the Water team.

Character Description[]

It can create throwing stars out of compressed water. The stars are able to split metal in half when it spins them and throws them at high speeds. It appears and vanishes with a ninja's grace. It toys with its enemies with swift movement, while also slicing them with throwing Starr's made of the sharpest of water. Trainers who receive Froakie in their journey across Kalos evolve into Frogadier then evolves into Greninja.

In PokéSmash[]

Greninja appears in PokéSmash as part of the Water team. Like in the games, Greninja is a swift and agile character who's speed is only rivaled by some other characters in the game. He's basically the fastest member of the Water team. His defensive capabilities are bad but he makes up for it by being tricky and almost hard to touch.

His in-game description here:

GRENINJA

"With a ninja's grace, Greninja enters the battlefield in quite the splash! Confuse your opponents with this speedy amphibian or just cut them with throwing stars!"

Attributes[]
