Guide
Start with Bubble and use it immediately on one of the wild Pokémon in the lane, then use Eject Button to roll through the wall and begin jungle immediately. Alternatively, you can start with Substitute to roll through the wall without using Eject Button. This must be spaced properly or you won't make it through the wall.
Alternatively, you can go straight for the top lane and let another teammate jungle. Take advantage of Greninja's melee basic attack's burst to take out as many wild Pokémon as possible.
When jungle is finished, favor top lane, but either will be fine. Use Smokescreen before using Surf because Smokescreen gives an Attack boost for a short time. This also helps with basic attacks, as these are always physical.
Try to score as often as possible to max out the Attack Weight as soon as you can. This will let you really start dishing out some damage.
Since Greninja heavily relies on basic attacks, Rapid-Fire Scarf is very useful in dealing some extra damage just a little bit faster. Paired with red and brown boost emblems, this can be a huge damage-dealer.
