Nope. I recommend grass knot Greninja. As it will KO another Greninja lead. But watch out for the Focus Sash.

Thank you, trying to think of moves while collecting eggs, wish that was a more powerful move it looks so good with grenninja lol
Anyone have any HA Female Froakie Spitbacks? preferably with 31/x/31/x/31/x, that aren't in a Pokéball (Luxury, Net, Dusk, and Dive Ball preferred)
Any opinions on toxic spikes? only egg move that looked decent too me (though im not much of a battler and my knowledge on moves is probably not great) but i already have a 5iv protean timid froakie and dont want to start over to work it in lol
Looking for Pinsirite willing to offer heracronite or 5-6ived Pokebank mons in exchange!
I would breed it on to it just in case my HP Fire Modest Shiny one has it, but it depends on your playstyle for the team, but since egg moves can be relearned it's always good to have it just incase you want to change the moveset for a different strategy or at least that's how I look at it
I personally don't recommend it because Greninja doesn't have enough hp to set up hazards. You want him to dish out constant damage without taking a hit. My personal preference for a Greninja move set is hydro pump, ice beam, grass knot, and u-turn. Ive seen some other interesting sets as well. Its all down to preference.

Modest HP Ice Shiny Max IVs Rotom, looking for other 5/6 IV Shinies, PM if interested :)
hmm i think i might use that move set, im gunna replace hydro pump with hydro cannon though. Thank you sir you've been a lot of help. What are the advantages of u-turn? I haven't used a pokemon with that attack yet though from what i see on here people tend to like it.
It allows for Greninja to get damage in while switching out against bulkier mons, and maybe switch into a tank or at least that's the only reason I see but for that I would rather have it be a Mixed Sweeper
ohh ok so its kind of like volt switch?
oooh boy. well, hydro cannon is terrible. being forced to waste a turn sitting around is no where near worth the trade.
u-turn allows you to end your turn in an advantageous position.
example
your pokemon is weak to their pokemon, if you u-turn you end up switching in a guy who is strong against whomever they have out.
the main difference between just switching is due to, dealing some damage (breaks focus sashes and such), and if they do a trainer switch in an attempt to get in an superior position over you, your move will go off after they switch. Allowing you to maintain momentum and still ending up with the advantage
same functional move, except bug type, and physical. sorta superior in that no pokemon is immune to it
oh dear, yeah i was just lookin at grenninjas move set, i only noticed it was more powerful and accurate didnt know it took a turn to charge lol yeah hydro pump it is
it doesnt take a turn to charge it takes a turn to cool down like hyper beam
Would anyone happen to have a Mienfoo or Mienshao with the move Knock Off? Don't care at all about IVs/Nature/Ability, I would simply like one with that move. I don't have a huge stock from which to trade, but I could offer some 4IV Shellders with Rapid Spin, or a 4IV Skarmory with Stealth Rock; aside from that everything I have is pretty random.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks so much!
