Using its high Speed, synergistic offensive typing, and high offensive stats, Ash-Greninja becomes a strong wallbreaker. With Flower Trick, Ash-Greninja can dent Fur Coat Slowbro without activating Rocky Helmet, OHKO Mega Swampert, and 2HKO Imposter users. Frost Breath lets Ash-Greninja OHKO Mega Garchomp and severely weaken Fur Coat Miraidon and Yveltal. Physically strong Pokemon like Mega Grachomp, Mega Lucario, and Kyurem-B appreciate Ash-Greninja's presence, as it's able to help overwhelm their checks such as Fur Coat Arceus-Ghost, Ho-Oh, and Mega Slowbro; Mega Lucario is particularly useful thanks to its strong matchup against Fur Coat Fairy-types like Mega Audino, which otherwise completely wall Ash-Greninja thanks to Rocky Helmet. Ash-Greninja can struggle against faster Pokemon such as Flutter Mane and Miraidon, as these are are all able to revenge kill it, so having teammates like Mega Steelix, Ho-Oh, and Arceus-Ground helps. Ash-Greninja also benefits immensely from having teammates that can block Strength Sap such as Mega Audino, Blissey, and Mega Slowbro, as many of its defensive checks like Miraidon and Arceus-Fairy rely on this move for healing. Having slow pivots, such as Teleport users like Mega Audino or RegenVest users like Mega Swampert, is also helpful to account for its frailty. To Imposter-proof Ash-Greninja's, a Fur Coat + Rocky Helmet user like Mega Audino is ideal.
