icebeam and extra sensory are pretty standard choice for coverage,

>>15046552 Dark Pulse and Ice Beam work well for me.

>>15046552 Surf or Scald.
Final move seems to waver around Dark Pulse, U-Turn, Grass Knot, or perhaps Hidden Power if it's a useful type.

Would HP Poison be useful enough for taking out fairies to be considered good, or would the ground weakness be too much of a liability?

I'm still breeding for a shiny one. I'm REALLY hoping he gets Poison-type HP(for fairy/grass/fighting coverage/resistance) but a couple other types could be useful too.

is HP Steel worth it over Extrasensory or U-Turn?

Should have made him Hasty, Protean. You're gimping your U-Turn.

>>15047322 Why Hasty in particular over Naive?

>>15047519 It doesn't matter either way, honesty. Greninja's defensive stats are abysmal. I just always prefer Hasty.

CONTEXT.
It doesn't mean you can't allocate all your EVs to SP.Atk anyway, but you shouldn't be gimping your good ATK stat and gimp U-Turn.

If you can deal more damage for no real consequence, why wouldn't you?

>>15047768 He's a mixed attacker. His defenses are already so low that you're not using Protean for bulk.
And there's no need to share your EVs and have the typical mixed sweeper disadvantages. U-Turn's great enough with just the utility.
