[SET COMMENTS]
Moves
========
  • Hydro Pump is a generally strong attack that can be used to KO notable targets such as Heatran, Tyranitar, and Volcarona.
  • Hidden Power Fire allows Greninja to hit Ferrothorn and guarantee the OHKO on Mega Scizor and Kartana.
  • Gunk Shot is a generally powerful move that hits Fairy-types such as Clefable and Tapu Bulu, notably guaranteeing an OHKO on the latter.
  • Alternatively, Low Kick can be used in conjunction with Ice Beam to have the added benefit of being more consistent against Mega Latios as well as having a surprise attack to do heavy damage to specially defensive Pokemon like Gastrodon and Chansey.
  • Spikes are a very useful entry hazard that allows Greninja to wear down many of its normal checks, namely Toxapex.

greninja usually runs different sets of coverage: hydro hp fire gunk w spikes and ice beam low kick gunk w spikes, so it makes more sense to explain the first set of slashes first and then go over the latter

Yeah i got that, but shouldn't they be explained before Gunk Shot?

252 Atk Life Orb Protean Greninja Low Kick (60 BP) vs. 248 HP / 8 Def Gastrodon: 140-165 (32.9 - 38.8%) -- 7.3% chance to 3HKO after Leftovers recovery

Not the best example, I would replace Gastro for AV Magearna in that sentence.
