The Pok\u00e9mon Company has announced<\/a> that Greninja will be coming to Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet<\/em> and Violet<\/em><\/strong> via 7-star Tera Raid Battles. These Tera Raid Battles will be available between January 27 through January 29 and February 10 through February 12. Greninja\u2019s Tera Type will be Poison, and like Charizard and Cinderace before it, will have the Mightiest Mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greninja first appeared in Pok\u00e9mon X<\/em> and Y<\/em> and is the final evolution of the Froakie and Frogadier line. It\u2019s a dual Water\/Dark-type with an especially high speed stat that\u2019s good for getting the jump on opponents. In past titles, Greninja had the hidden ability Protean.

Protean changes a Pok\u00e9mon\u2019s type to the type of the move it\u2019s about to use. This means a Pok\u00e9mon can attack while changing its type to better defend against an oncoming attack and is considered a strong ability in battles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet<\/em> and Violet, <\/em>this has been changed to only work once each time the Pok\u00e9mon comes into a battle. You can switch out the Pok\u00e9mon and use the ability again the next time it comes in, but it\u2019s clear that the ability has been nerfed. Sprigatito and its evolutions are new Pok\u00e9mon in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet<\/em> and Violet<\/em> that also have the Protean hidden ability.

As mentioned above, Greninja is a Water\/Dark-type and its Tera Type in the upcoming Tera Raid Battles will be Poison. Dark is good against Psychic and Poison is good against Fairy, so players may need a different strategy besides using Azumarill, Sylveon, or Slowbro which were effective against Charizard and Cinderace in the previous Tera Raids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, Greninja isn\u2019t listed as one of the usable Pok\u00e9mon in Ranked Battle Season 1 or 2, so players won\u2019t be able to jump right into Ranked Battles with their freshly caught Greninja.
