Pokemon Unite: Greninja

Froakie is a ranged attacker. Its basic attack is boosted every third use, but works differently at close or long range. At close range, it deals more damage the less HP the opponent has; at long range, it decreases their movement speed. Similar to Squirtle, it also has Torrent, which increases its damage output and speed. It has a choice of two moves, Substitute and Bubble. The first leaves behind a doll and allows Froakie to dash forward. Wild Pokemon will target the Substitute if it’s closer, and opponent Pokemon may auto target it. If it takes too much damage it will disappear, but it will after a set amount of time. The other decreases movement speed for a short period of time. At level 5, it will evolve into Frogadier and replaces Substitute with either Smokescreen or Double Team. The first creates an area that limits opponent’s visibility, increases your speed, and guaranteed the next basic attack is a critical hit. The other creates two copies of Frogadier that attack but have less health than the original Frogadier. They act on their own and can be defeated, but they will disappear after a set amount of time. At level 7, Frogadier evolves into Greninja and replaces Bubble with either Surf or Water Shuriken. Surf works similarly to Blastoise’s, but it recovers HP and deals more damage to Pokemon with lower HP. Additionally, if an opponent is knocked out with this move, the cooldown is reset. The other also restores the user’s HP every time a shuriken hits, but it also increases Greninja’s speed. At level 9, Greninja learns its Unite Move Waterburst Shuriken. This creates an area where opponent Pokemon have decreased speed for a moment, then they are thrown into the area and dealt massive damage. At level 11, Double’s Team cooldown of 9 seconds will be reduced, and Smokescreen will increase Greninja’s attack for a short period of time after the move ends. At level 13, Water Shuriken deals more hits, and Surf restores more HP when it lands.
