Greninja CAP analysis

[OVERVIEW]

- Thanks to its high Speed and stellar ability in the form of Protean, Greninja is a premier offensive threat in the CAP metagame.
- Greninja is further blessed with a colorful offensive movepool, allowing it to fully exploit its ability and to serve as one of the most reliable Choice Scarf users able to outspeed and defeat the most dangerous Set-Up sweepers in the metagame, namely Shell Smash Necturna.
- Due to its number of coverage options, Greninja can also act as an extremely fast and powerful wallbreaker with barely any sure-fire counter.
- Its wonderful movepool also includes Spikes, and with such a great Speed Tier, offensive presence and coverage to threaten common hazard removers, Greninja makes a very efficient hazard setter.
- However, Greninja is very frail and its typing sports several crippling weaknesses to Electric, Bug, Fairy, Fighting and Grass. Thus, bringing it on the field is often a difficult task.
- While Greninja's offensive stats aren't bad by any means, they aren't great either and Greninja doesn't have any boosting move outside of Z-Happy Hour, which means it has to rely on super effective coverage to defeat common bulky threats, making it an unfortunate case of 4MSS.

[SET COMMENTS]
Moves
========

- U-Turn allows Greninja to pivot and can be spammed pretty freely due to Greninja offensive presence and sky-high Speed tier when holding a Choice Scarf. Moreover, it hits Aurumoth, one of the scariest sweeper in the metagame, for super effective damages. Nonetheless, be careful not to trigger the potential Weak Armor boost at the wrong moment.
- Ice Beam is highly recommend since it OHKOes Necturna after Shell Smash as well as Zygarde, Landorus-Therian and Gliscor. It also packs a generally good coverage since it inflicts huge damages to Dragon-types like Pajantom, Grass-types like Jumbao and Flying-types like Tornadus-Therian. Do note that it has the added benefit of discouring Pokemon like Tomohawk, Zapdos and Cyclohm from trying to punish predicted U-turn with Rocky Helmet or Static, respectively.
- Waterfall has a chance to OHKO Volcarona and hits common threats like Crucibelle-Mega, Heatran and Stratagem, whereas Rock Slide guarantees the OHKO on the former while hitting Gyarados harder than any other given moves. Gunk Shot, on the other hand, OHKOes Jumbao, Tapu Koko and Tapu Lele and 2HKOes Clefable and Tapu Fini, the two latter would switch freely on Greninja otherwise.
- Hidden Power Fire allows you to reliably revenge kill Cawmodore and to threaten Steel-types like Ferrothorn, Scizor-Mega and Kitsunoh, the former in particular would otherwise freely punish the overuse of U-Turn with Iron Barbs. Additonally, it's the best move at Greninja's disposal to damage Shift Gear Magearna
