Best Greninja moveset in Pokemon GO
The best moveset for Greninja is Water Shuriken as the Fast Move and Hydro Cannon and Night Slash as the Charged Moves. This moveset excels in PvP, especially the Ultra League, and is also serviceable in PvE.
Water Shuriken and Hydro Cannon are new tools in Greninja's kit, only recently made available to Greninja with the August 2023 Community Day for Froakie. These are game-changing additions to Greninja, vaulting the Gen 6 Starter Pokemon to the upper echelon of the PvP rankings.
Greninja is the only Pokemon in the game that can use Water Shuriken. Water Shuriken and Hydro Cannon together is a potent combination that solidifies Greninja as a top-tier Water-type attacker.

A lot of Trainers used to overlook Greninja, but with the addition of Water Shuriken and Hydro Cannon to Greninja's moveset, it's now one of the best non-Legendary/non-Shadow Water-types in Pokemon GO.
Equip your Greninja with Water Shuriken as the Fast Move and Hydro Cannon and Night Slash as the Charged Moves, and take it into the Ultra League to see what it's capable of!
