Now the new normal is

Greninja @ Life Orb
Timid 4 HP 252 SpAtk 252 Spd
-Scald/ Surf
-Ice Beam
-Dark Pulse
-Gunk Shot

Since in ORAS he has the ability to get Gunk Shot he'll be a fairy killer on top of everything else he does, most likely resulting in him getting banned.

Oh i didn't know he could get it in ORAS...

 

[toonlinkdds]

Yeah, the speculation on whether he'll get banned to Ubers is a hot topic.

 

[3905]

Well with gunk shot and protean being able to counter fairies there's a chance he'll be uber

You should put /Hydro Pump next to Surf/Scald and /Hidden Power Fire next to Dark Pulse , as its pretty common on Gunk Shot Greninja so it can handle Ferrothorn, but yeah that's essentially the standard right now and nothing really switches in on it, really wouldn't surprise me if it got suspect tested after Mega Salamence and Slowbro get banned.

one thing I would like to say is that grass knot is a viable choice to put on Greninja, hidden power grass is good if you want a stable atk power. Also, Greninja also has a great offensive set with moves like shadow sneak, waterfall, rock slide,night slash, etc since they all get STAB. for extra power I would recommend putting on a life orb or choice band on it
