In-Depth Analysis
Greninja's 630 base stat total marks it as a fast attacker that leans on outspeeding threats and hitting hard. Speed (142) carries most matchups, but a low HP stat of 72 means careful positioning matters.
Its Water, Dark typing leaves Greninja with 5 weaknesses against 6 resistances and 1 full immunity. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 5 types for super-effective damage.
A low catch rate of 45 makes Greninja a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Medium Slow experience curve.
