[SET]
Greninja @ Choice Specs
Name: Choice Specs (Dark)
Ability: Protean
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Hydro Pump
- Sludge Wave / Dark Pulse / Trick
- Ice Beam
- Extrasensory

[SET COMMENTS]
Choice Specs Greninja is one of Dark's best wallbreakers thanks to its amazing Speed and coverage further boosted by Protean essentially giving all its moves a STAB boost. Hydro Pump targets Fire-, Rock-, and Ground-types like Torkoal, Heatran, Mega Diancie, and Hippowdon. Sludge Wave threatens Grass- and Fairy-types such as Tapu Bulu, Mega Altaria, and non-Choice Scarf Iron Valiant. Alternatively, Dark Pulse can be used to nail Ghost- and Psychic-types such as Gholdengo, Hisuian Zoroark, and Slowbro. Trick can be used so that Greninja can weaken special walls that it cannot threaten with its attacks like Alolan Muk, Hisuian Goodra, and Blissey. However, Sludge Wave is the preferred option due to nailing threats that many of its teammates struggle with like Ogerpon-W and non-Choice Scarf Tapu Lele. Ice Beam allows Greninja to handle Dragon- and Flying-types like Garchomp, Mega Latias, and the Landorus formes. Extrasensory targets Poison- and Fighting-types like Toxapex, Mega Venusaur, Okidogi, and Keldeo. Choice Scarf Meowscarada provides speed control and forms a Protean core with Greninja, with it outspeeding and taking on Swampert, Choice Scarf Roaring Moon, and Choice Scarf Iron Valiant. Ting-Lu is a great partner, as it sets up entry hazards to aid Greninja's wallbreaking, with Greninja now having a good chance to OHKO Latias after Stealth Rock damage, and it also handles Steel-types such as Excadrill, Gholdengo and Iron Crown. Furthermore, it provides a Ground immunity which allows it to take on Electric-types like Tapu Koko, terrain-boosted Alolan Raichu, and Zeraora. Choice Scarf Hydreigon, Mandibuzz, and Galarian Moltres aid Greninja in the Ground matchup due to their immunities. Hydreigon also deals with Choice Scarf Gholdengo and Choice Scarf Kleavor with its STAB, Mandibuzz removes entry hazards with Defog so Greninja does not get worn down throughout the match and pivots it in with U-turn, and Galarian Moltres can sweep lategame with Agility and Nasty Plot after Greninja wallbreaks. Alolan Muk is another great partner, as with its great special bulk it helps Greninja in dealing with Fairy-types like Tapu Koko, Tapu Lele, and Enamorus. In return, Alolan Muk appreciates Greninja taking on Ground-types like Great Tusk and Garchomp. Greninja's wallbreaking opens the door for sweeping and cleaning opportunities from the likes of Galarian Moltres and Weavile.

Alternatively, Dark Pulse can be used to nail Ghost- and Psychic-types such as Gholdengo, Hisuian Zoroark, and Slowbro. Trick can be used so that Greninja can weaken special walls that it cannot threaten with its attacks like Alolan Muk and Ferrothorn. (I wouldn't use Ferrothorn as a majority of Ferrothorns take hard damage from Greninja. I would honestly mention Blissey.) However, Sludge Wave is the preferred option due to nailing Fairy-types that many of its Dark-type teammates struggle with. (Mention a few. Non-Scarf Tapu Lele or Ogerpon Wellspring are some good examples.) Ice Beam allows Greninja to handle Dragon- and Flying-types like Garchomp, Mega Latias, and the Landorus formes. Extrasensory targets Poison-types like Toxapex and Okidogi. Ting-Lu is a great partner, as it sets up entry hazards to aid Greninja's wallbreaking, with Greninja now having a good chance to OHKO Latias after Stealth Rock damage, and it also handles Steel-types such as Excadrill and Iron Crown. Hydreigon, Mandibuzz, and Galarian Moltres aid Greninja in the Ground matchup due to their immunities. Hydreigon also deals with Choice Scarf Gholdengo and Choice Scarf Kleavor with its STAB, Mandibuzz removes entry hazards with Defog so Greninja does not get worn down throughout the match, and Galarian Moltres can sweep lategame after Greninja wallbreaks. (What tools does Galarian Moltres have to allow it to setup? What pokemon does it efficiently handle even with setup? These questions will almost always be internally asked. I would suggest re-wording and giving an example or two of what Galarian Moltres can do to setup alongside Gren or a move or two.) Assault Vest Alolan Muk Alolan Muk (When showcasing a specific Pokemon always remember to describe teammates without using specific sets.) is another great partner, as with its great special bulk it helps Greninja in dealing with Fairy-types like Tapu Koko, Tapu Lele, and Enamorus. In return, Alolan Muk appreciates Greninja taking on Ground-types like Great Tusk and Garchomp. Meowscarada provides speed control (Here I would state Choice Scarf on Meowscarada as you are also using examples that are fast.) and forms a Protean core with Greninja, with it handling while being able to outspeed quicker threats such as Swampert, Choice Scarf Roaring Moon, and Choice Scarf Iron Valiant. Greninja's wallbreaking opens the door for sweeping and cleaning opportunities from the likes of Galarian Moltres, Choice Scarf Hoopa-U, and Choice Scarf Weavile. Weavile. (Again when showcasing Greninja its best to not use a lot of specifics when it comes to it's teammates roles. Since Hoopa-Unbound was banned again I would add another replacement alongside Weavile, other than that you just use the names of them if not provide an example of what each can take out that helps gren. Overall fantastic job!)
