A Stealthy Challenge! (Japanese: 忍法対決!ゲコガシラ対ガメノデス!! Ninja Arts Showdown! Gekogahshier VS Gamenodes!!) is the 52nd episode of the XY series, and the 851st episode of the Pokémon anime. It first aired in Japan on December 11, 2014 and in the United States on February 28, 2015.
Blurb
Ash and friends spot their ninja friend Sanpei and his Greninja floating down a river, unconscious! After they mount a rescue, Sanpei explains that he’s on a mission for his ninja master, Saizo, but a masked ninja and his Barbaracle partner keep trying to interfere.
The gang decides to help Sanpei on his mission, but soon Ash and Sanpei are separated from the others—just as the masked ninja strikes again! Froakie and Greninja team up to fight him off, and when the battle seems to be going against them, Froakie evolves into Frogadier!
The masked ninja then directs Ash and Sanpei to the manor where their friends are waiting. There, they discover their pursuer is none other than Saizo, who has been using their encounters as a test of Sanpei’s skills—and Sanpei has passed with flying colors! With everyone safely reunited, Ash challenges Sanpei to a battle, and soon our heroes are off once again to Coumarine City.

Trivia
- Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster: Skrelp
- Serena and Grace narrate the preview for the next episode.
- This episode marks the first time when a Water-type starter Pokémon in Ash's team evolves.
- This is also the first time since Round One - Begin!, 777 episodes ago, when a Water-type Pokémon has evolved under Ash's ownership.
- V (Volt) is used as an insert song during Froakie's evolution.
- Frogadier remains outside of its Poké Ball for the entire episode.
- Team Rocket use a variation of their motto in the episode.
Errors
- When Clemont healed Sanpei's poisoned Greninja with a Pecha Berry, he said it was badly poisoned in the original. Poison Jab inflicts regular poison to the target, not badly poison. This was fixed in the dub.
- In one scene, Greninja's mouth is colored blue instead of cream.
- In one scene, the pupil in Greninja's eyes are colored black instead of white.
- When Clemont and Serena were falling, Clemont was to the left while Serena was to the right. When Greninja saved Serena and Froakie saved Clemont, Clemont and Serena swapped places despite Greninja's tongue and Froakie's Frubbles not crossing each other's paths.
- When Saizo confronts Ash and Sanpei after they leave the cave, he incorrectly refers to the secret scroll as a sacred scroll.
- When Saizo orders his Barbaracle to use Razor Shell on Team Rocket, the middle finger on Barbaracle's face is colored the same way as its face.
- When Barbaracle used Mud-Slap, it shot up two streams of mud off the ground, yet Pikachu, Greninja, and Froakie each got hit in the face by a different stream of mud, meaning a third stream appeared out of nowhere to hit Froakie.
Dub edits
- In the dub, Clemont correctly states that Greninja was poisoned by Poison Jab, not badly poisoned.
- In the dub, Ash's Pokédex states that Greninja is the evolved form of Frogadier. In the original, it states that Greninja is the final evolution of Froakie.
