Greninja is the fastest Choice Scarf user in the metagame, taking advantage of its blistering Speed tier and colorful Protean-boosted coverage to be a strong revenge killer and offensive pivot. Gunk Shot decimates Pokemon like Tapu Lele, Iron Valiant, and Tapu Koko. Ice Beam covers a plethora of Pokemon, including Tornadus-T, Dragapult, Kartana, and Landorus-T. Rock Slide deals with Volcarona and Mega Charizard Y. Aside from enabling Greninja to pivot, U-turn also provides coverage against Mega Tyranitar, Mega Gyarados, and opposing Greninja. The Special Attack EVs guarantee the OHKO against Kartana with Ice Beam. Terastallizing is mainly used to improve its offensive capabilities; for instance, Tera Poison gives Gunk Shot significant odds to OHKO specially defensive Tera Grass Heatran, Clefable, and Tera Fairy Garganacl after Stealth Rock, while Tera Ice boosts Ice Beam to OHKO Dragapult and physically defensive Tangrowth and Great Tusk. Wallbreakers like Garchomp, Zamazenta, Tapu Lele, and Mega Charizard Y appreciate Greninja's U-turn bringing them in safely on foes like Heatran, Garganacl, Toxapex, and Gholdengo, respectively. Garchomp also provides entry hazards to punish Greninja's forced switches, chipping down the likes of Garganacl and Heatran. In return, Greninja outpaces faster threats like Choice Scarf Tapu Lele, Iron Valiant, and Dragapult that would otherwise overwhelm them. Greninja can form a VoltTurn core with Pokemon such as Tornadus-T, Rotom-W, and Mega Scizor; the former two also provide Defog so Greninja can pivot more freely, especially if running Tera Ice.

Greninja is the fastest Choice Scarf user in the metagame that takes advantage of its blistering Speed tier and colorful Protean-boosted expansive coverage movepool to be a strong revenge killer and offensive pivot. Gunk Shot decimates Pokemon like Tapu Lele, Iron Valiant, Tapu Koko, and Tera Fairy Dragapult and prevents Rillaboom's Grassy Glide from picking it off. Ice Beam covers a plethora of Pokemon, including Tornadus-T, Dragapult, Kartana, and Landorus-T. Rock Slide deals with Volcarona, Mega Charizard Y, and Baxcalibur and lets Greninja take on Dragonite's Extreme Speed better. don't think this really fits, in terms of getting a resistance to Extreme Speed most Dnite are carrying EQ & Tera Normal is not super concerned about rock slide damage. Aside from enabling Greninja to pivot, U-turn also provides coverage against Mega Tyranitar, Mega Gyarados, and opposing Greninja. talk about EVs Terastallizing is mainly used to improve its offensive capabilities; for instance, Tera Poison gives Gunk Shot significant odds to OHKO specially defensive Tera Grass Heatran, Clefable, and Tera Fairy Garganacl after Stealth Rock, while Tera Ice boosts Ice Beam to OHKO Dragapult and physically defensive Tangrowth and Great Tusk.

Garchomp also provides entry hazards to punish Greninja's forced switches would offer examples for this. In return, Greninja outpaces faster threats like Choice Scarf Tapu Lele, Iron Valiant, and Dragapult that would otherwise overwhelm them. Greninja can form a Voltturn core with Pokemon such as Tornadus-T, Rotom-W, and Mega Scizor; the former two also provide Defog so Greninja can pivot more freely, especially if running Tera Ice.

Greninja is the fastest Choice Scarf user in the metagame, (ac) taking that takes advantage of its blistering Speed tier and colorful Protean-boosted expansive coverage movepool (expansive is redundant, colorful implies its movepool is filled with options) to be a strong revenge killer and offensive pivot. Gunk Shot decimates Pokemon like Tapu Lele, Iron Valiant, and Tapu Koko. Ice Beam covers a plethora of Pokemon, including Tornadus-T, Dragapult, Kartana, and Landorus-T. Rock Slide deals with Volcarona and Mega Charizard Y. Aside from enabling Greninja to pivot, U-turn also provides coverage against Mega Tyranitar, Mega Gyarados, and opposing Greninja.
