Greninja (Japanese: ゲッコウガ Gekkouga) is a playable character in the Super Smash Bros. series.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U

Greninja is a swift, agile fighter that uses its speed to keep opponents on their toes. According to Masahiro Sakurai, Greninja was already being developed as a playable character before Pokémon X and Y were announced. Greninja is the last character to make its debut in a Nintendo game, and thus is the last opponent faced in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS's All-Star Mode, after Robin* or Lucina* on either Rainbow Road, Prism Tower, Arena Ferox, or Gaur Plain. In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U's All-Star Mode, however, Greninja is one of the first characters fought, along with Robin and Shulk*, Dark Pit* or Lucina* on either Kalos Pokémon League, Coliseum, Mario Galaxy, Skyworld, or Wii Fit Studio.

Palutena's Guidance (in Palutena's Temple)

  • Pit: What is that? Some kind of ninja frog?
  • Palutena: That's the Pokémon Greninja. Its strengths are agility and speed. What looks like a scarf is actually its tongue.
  • Viridi: As a defensive measure, I suggest rubbing spicy peppers all over yourself.
  • Pit: How can Greninja taste anything with its tongue hanging out like that?
  • Palutena: It could be one of those rare ninjas that just eats very slowly.
  • Pit: What?! But that makes no sense! ...Anyway, just tell me how to win!
  • Palutena: Greninja creates throwing stars out of compressed water and unleashes them at high speed. This attack is called Water Shuriken. If Greninja starts to charge up its Water Shuriken, be prepared to reflect it back!

Trophy information

Greninja

NA: This Water/Dark-type Pokémon is the fully evolved form of Froakie. It's just as fast and dangerous as any other ninja, and the throwing stars it can make out of water can shear metal. In Smash Bros., as well as being a graceful, speedy fighter, it can also use moves like Hydro Pump that let it travel through the air and avoid falling.

PAL: This Water- and Dark-type Pokémon is the fully evolved form of Froakie. It is just as fast and dangerous as its name suggests, and the throwing stars it can make out of water can shear metal. In this game, as well as being a graceful, speedy fighter, it can also use moves like Hydro Pump to let it move through the air and avoid falling.

Greninja (Alt.)

NA: Greninja's Substitute down special lets you teleport to dodge attacks and then strike back, making it an effective and hard-to-predict way to counterattack. You can also control where you reappear by inputting directions. When you vanish, sometimes you'll be replaced by a log, other times by a cuddly toy.
