Greninja
is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's "Pokémon" franchise, introduced in "Pokémon X" and "Pokémon Y", that has since appeared across a wide variety of Pokemon media. It is the final evolution of Froakie, the Water-type starter Pokemon of "X" and "Y", with either the ability 'Torrent' or 'Protean', with 'Battle Bond' as an event ability, enabling it to become Ash-Greninja, and the immediate evolution of Frogadier. Categorized as the "Ninja Pokémon", Greninja is a Water- and Dark-type Pokemon who is a frog-like master of swiftness and stealth.

It appeared prominently in the "XY" series of the Pokémon anime as one of Ash Ketchum's primary Pokemon, voiced by Yūji Ueda. This Greninja used its bond with Ash to transform into a unique and powerful form, Ash-Greninja, which was later released to the games as an empowered form of Greninja accessible to players of the "Pokemon Sun and Moon Special Demo Version." Greninja was introduced as a playable fighter to the "Super Smash Bros." franchise with "Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS" and "Wii U" as one of the Pokemon series' five representatives, and was integrated into manga such as "Pokémon Adventures".

Greninja has been met with a very positive reception, quickly becoming one of the most popular Pokémon of the sixth generation because of its endearing design and strength in competitive play. Its popularity has resulted in its integration into various merchandising and promotions of the "Pokémon" franchise.
