The Bond Phenomenon (Japanese: キズナ現象 Bond Phenomenon) is a transformation affecting Pokémon that was introduced in Pokémon the Series: XY. It is said to have some connection to the Pokémon's hidden potential, similar to Mega Evolution and Primal Reversion.
Unlike Mega Evolution or Primal Reversion, the transformation does not require any specific items for either the Trainer or the Pokémon, though in the games it requires the Ability Battle Bond. The only known Pokémon able to undergo this transformation is Greninja, whose alternate form is referred to as Ash-Greninja (Japanese: サトシゲッコウガ Satoshi Gekkouga). In this form, its strength increases and it gains the ability to form large Water Shurikens on its back, which it can use in battle to great effect.

- Main article: Greninja (Pokémon) → Form data
Bond Phenomenon made its core series debut in the form of a Greninja that can be transferred to Pokémon Sun and Moon from the Special Demo Version. This unique Greninja possesses the Battle Bond Ability, which triggers the transformation into Ash-Greninja after the opposing Pokémon has fainted and increases the power of Water Shuriken by approximately 33% (or more accurately, by a factor of 5448/4096). In addition, the base Battle Bond Greninja, before transforming, are treated as an alternate form separate from Greninja with Torrent or Protean. As of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Battle Bond no longer transforms Greninja into Ash-Greninja, currently making the form exclusive to Generations VII and VIII.
