ok, it's time to stop /vp/ of being faggot
Pokemon have a multiverse lore, so even the electric tale of pikachu is cannon. Even your pokephilia doujinshi is too so doesn't matter.
get that clear let's get in bussiness
this is the ash's greninja
- Greninja
Ability: Battle bond
Nature: ????
Objet: none
Attacks: Aerial Ace, Cut, Double Team, Water Shuriken
our most common greninja is
- Greninja
Ability: proteam
Nature: Timid
Objet: Life Orb or Focus Slash
Attacks: Scal, Dark Pulse, Grass knot, Ice Bean.
¿so what is my point?
my point is, if the boost stats from Battle Bond get much better that the stab from proteam plus speed stats there's no reason reason to change the strategy. Ivs in sun and moon are nothing because there is a training for Ivs in this game. So, if we can soft reset the nature we can change the moveset wherever we whant, in other hand if the nature is locket we can.
A) if have a nature like jolly or adamant we can play full phisical and used the normal itens and Night Slash, Waterfall, rock slide and U-turn even we can try using king's rock
B) if he have a modest/timit nature we can used the special moveset and noting happens
C) if he has anny nature we can get crazy and make even multy sweeper.
Note, there is a lot of moveset from move tutors like Ice Punch or Gunk shot.
The mega evolution and primal reverse gives to a pokemon + 100 to his stats or more if that give to him (- X) just like beedrill. Greninja has a 122 of speed base, that is a crazy speed if the battle bond gives only + 40 that makes aniting goes with no problem.
His special attack is 103 decent but not great, the work is in the most part from proteam. But, with a + 20 in his stats can be a force of nature
His base attack is from 95 is shitty but with a good + 50 he can be power house.
Ofcourse gamefreack can fuck out and give the + 100 in his defences but if they make a good distribution like mega gardevoir or mega kangaskan we gonna have our new broken god
