>>32873866The thing about Prot-Greninja is while it has a shitton of coverage it can't cover everything. Defogers like Mew and Mantine are gaining traction because ninja can't afford the coverage for them since that means something else gonna hard stop it easily, drop HP Fire bulk steels laugh at you, drop extrasensory Keldeo and Toxapex stop you with no problem, you mentioned Low Kick to deal with certain mons and Water shuriken for priority both are sub-par options since one make you give up more useful coverage while puting you with a bad defensive type and only hitting chansey and tyranitar as relevant targets and the other is pretty weak unless you're the battle bond frog.
Prot-Greninja only has two moves you really need to guess since beyond meme phys only sets its mandatory Gunkshot for fairies and a way to hit ground types in Hydro or Ice beam after that is easy to guess the rest from what the team needs down to go crazy, the spikes set its so predictable you only need to guess if one move between Hp Fire or dark pulse since either it needs to fuck Thron and M-Scizor or needs to stop Mew which is the best defoger of the tier right now.
The Battle-bond frog is the worse of the two, while powerful after it gets a kill it needs one to become a real threat which is kinda hard when you're have a average power which even with a specs can't really scratch the bulkier fairies, grass and water types of the tier.
The meta has adapted itself for the frogs and while they still remain as very good mons they don't have the same impact as the lion of healty meta, the iron maiden or the dragon of spamming arrows who need very little to no support to tear the meta appart. While I can understand Lando-T being ignored since the meta would become even worse, Magearna looks very suspect whorty and Zygarde comes next.
