So yeah sure, Protean is the reason you use Greninja, but there have been a couple of innovative Battle Spot sets that utilised Torrent instead!
Timid
31 / x / 31 / 31 / 31 / 31
so while breeding i got a couple of these but with Torrent ability, does anyone / any set use the torrent ability or are they just as useful as the rest of the spitbacks i got??
(on the subject see my thread in signature if u want any protean ..or torrent!...spitbacks)
Second, Jibaku found a Japanese blog which showcased a bunch of Singles teams which made it to 2200 points or higher on the ladder, and one of those had a Torrent Greninja! The set was:Greninja @ Petaya Berry
Ability: Torrent
Level: 50
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Hydro Pump
- Dark Pulse
- Ice Beam
- Substitute
The whole point of this set is to smack something with the most powerful Hydro Pump Greninja can muster. If you can't OHKO your opponent with any of your moves, sub until Petaya kicks in and get a Torrent (yes, Torrent...) boost in the meantime, multiplying your Hydro Pump's power by 2.25! Dark Pulse is there for secondary STAB, and Ice Beam can hit a lot of threats for super-effective damage despite the fact that this sad frog doesn't have Protean.
Gotcha, I'm onlineCan anyone help me evolve my Haunter? Thanks in advance.

I like the second one since toxic spikes is an egg move that I have on both of them...they've suddenly become interesting!!So yeah sure, Protean is the reason you use Greninja, but there have been a couple of innovative Battle Spot sets that utilised Torrent instead!
First we have PPB's Sub-Petaya set which aims to spam a +1, Torrent-boosted Hydro Pump:
Second, Jibaku found a Japanese blog which showcased a bunch of Singles teams which made it to 2200 points or higher on the ladder, and one of those had a Torrent Greninja! The set was:
Greninja @ Focus Sash
Ability: Torrent
Timid Nature
- Scald
- Water Shuriken
- Toxic Spikes
- Toxic
I guess the idea was to just lay down Toxic Spikes / spread Toxic itself and turning into a Poison-type with Protean gave it no benefit, whereas getting a boost on Scald / Water Shuriken after being brought down to the Sash at least gave it something.
Hope these gave you some ideas on how to use your Torrent Froakies!
Gotcha, I'm online
I already got helped. Thanks anyway! <3I can
I can offer you this latias from my past giveaway.LF timid latias with defog and perfect or very good IVs(No HP Fire, Need 31 speed). Idc about EVs or Level.
I can offer Most breedable pokemon with any HP(+HP Fire magnezone) and some legends caught in OR.
That's 3rd Gen RNG.Have an odd request.
Anybody willing to RNG me a Nincada from 4th gen? And then evolve it into Shedninja with Swords Dance (hence why I need 4th Gen).
Want Lonely nature (for theme reasons), only needs 31 Attack and Speed, in a Premier Ball.
Willing to trade 3 Hidden Power pokes from my thread for it.
Also can anyone spare a Custap Berry?
Pretty sure I know you can only get a special ball for Shedinja in Gen 3.Pretty sure you can get Shedninja Swords Dance in gen 3 and 4.
Nah, I'm sure Timey or Thomaz are willing to help you out with that request for a couple breeding projects. They can be nice,Oh right...
Well then I'll change that. Since fewer people RNG gen 3 anymore.
BumpDoes anyone have a Smeargle / Staraptor combo for neutral speed Zapdos please?
If it was possible it would've been done already. You can do it in Gen 5 and probably Gen 4 with no special ball (both gens) or special anything (Gen 5).Because crazy_man mentioned it; just out of random curiosity, is it actually possible to RNG a Shedinja with the following IVs:
00 | 31 | 00 | 00 | 31 | 31
Or would that be insanely hard/impossible? O.o
I can give you mine if you still need them.Bump
Yes please!I can give you mine if you still need them.
Huh, interesting! O.oIf it was possible it would've been done already. You can do it in Gen 5 and probably Gen 4 with no special ball (both gens) or special anything (Gen 5).
This spread is generated by Method 1 in 3rd generation if you're talking about Adamant nature, so you can't get a wild Nincada with this spread. It's possible to get one in 4th, 5th and 6th generation via breeding manipulation as Esmeya said .Because crazy_man mentioned it; just out of random curiosity, is it actually possible to RNG a Shedinja with the following IVs:
00 | 31 | 00 | 00 | 31 | 31
Or would that be insanely hard/impossible? O.o
If you're still looking for one, let me know. I'll gladly help you.Also can anyone spare a Custap Berry?
