Editing Greninja

'''Greninja''' is an amphibious ninja Pokémon from the seventh generation ''[[Portal: Pokémon|Pokémon]]'' games. It is the final stage in the evolutionary line of [[Froakie]], evolving from [[Frogadier]] at Level 36. 

=Information=

Greninja is a fully bipedal Pokémon that is known to act with the skill and grace similar to that of a ninja. It can appear and disappear like a ninja, and it is also known for its Water Shuriken move, in which is creates and throws throwing stars made out of compressed water. When Greninja spins and throws them at high speeds, each Water Shuriken can split in two. They have been known to use their swift movements to toy with their enemies.

It also has an alternate form that is based on a concept from the ''Pokémon'' anime and is thus known as "Ash-Greninja". A Greninja with the unique Battle Bond ability can transform into Ash-Greninja after an opposing Pokémon has fainted. This increases the power of Water Shuriken.

Additionally, a Greninja with Battle Bond was received as a gift in the demo of ''[[Pokémon: Sun and Moon|Sun and Moon]]'', which could be transferred into the main game.

==Video Games==

Ultimate]]''. It acts as a fast and agile character, and it utilizes many of its moves from the games such as the Water Shuriken and Substitute. With its Final Smash, Mat Block. Greninja flips a mat to knock an opponent into the air and then subjects them to a series of attacks. In ''Ultimate'', Greninja changes into Ash-Greninja while executing the Final Smash.

**In the Adventure Mode of ''Ultimate'', "World of Light", Greninja made an appearance in the opening cutscene among the force that was assembled to oppose [[Galeem]] and his [[Master Hand]] army. When Galeem unleashed his beams of light, Greninja was shown to initially dodge one by leaping into the air, but it was then hit by a different beam and fell under Galeem's control. Greninja could later be found and awakened as its usual self through battle in the Mysterious Dimension area of the Dark Realm.
**In ''Ultimate'', Greninja's Classic Mode route was called "Your Turn, Greninja!". In each battle, Greninja battled Pokémon and fighters from other series who matched a different Pokémon type, such as battling [[Charizard]] and [[Bowser]] as Fire-types, or [[Mewtwo]], [[Ness]] and [[Lucas]] as Psychic-types. The final boss of this route is [[Master Hand]] (joined by [[Crazy Hand]] on higher difficulties).

*In the ''Pokémon'' anime, one of [[Red|Ash Ketchum's]] main Pokémon during the Kalos series was a Froakie who eventually evolved into Frogadier and finally Greninja. Ash's Greninja developed the ability to change into a stronger form known as Ash-Greninja based on its bond with Ash. Near the end of the series, his Greninja ultimately departed to go on a quest with a pair of [[Zygarde]] to destroy the remaining Giant Rock roots. Other Greninja have also made appearances in the series, often belonging to trainers who are ninjas themselves, such as the brothers Sanpei and Ippei, or the thieving Riot.

=Trivia=

*Its name is derived from "grenouille" (the French word for frog, due to [[Kalos]] being based on France) combined with "ninja".
