it's not a mega guise
Additional info on Greninja is in this CDotW thread
So, this was bound to happen someday. Discuss the implications of this suspect test, what a ban would do for the metagame (or what it wouldn't), laddering for reqs, and so on. Have fun!
Personal note: I'm pretty for banning Greninja. It does restrict teambuilding to a great degree by making things like Tentacruel/Porygon2 rise in usage, and it is also such great offensive glue (comparable to Thundurus imo) with its 7+ viable STABs, godly speed tier, and utility. The only things holding it back are (bulky) teams wearing it down with LO+Spikes, HO (3
5u), and priority, since its frailty is notable and its attack power isn't quite phenomenal. Nevertheless, it does an insane job meshing with offensive teammates like Gallade/Lopunny, Volturn cores, Talonflame, et cetera, and can do all of weakening cores, firing STABs mindlessly at offensive teams, and cleaning up with little trouble.
