Pokemon Sun and Moon: How to Get Ash Greninja

Ash Greninja – Pokemon Sun and Moon

Ash Greninja is a powerful Pokemon that can be useful to just about any trainer in Pokemon Sun and Moon’s new Alola Region. It’s no surprise that players are wanting this powerful beast for their party, but you’re going to have to put in some work for it. First you’ll need a Greninja with the Battle Bond Ability. You can get one of these from completing the Sun and Moon Demo. After completing the Demo, just talk to Professor Kukui in the center to have him transfer the Pokemon to your full game.

You’ll be able to retrieve Greninja from a delivery man once you reach a Pokemon Center in Sun and Moon. Now to get it to turn into Ash Greninja, you simply have to win battles with it. As you rack up victories, your bond grows stronger with Greninja, and when it reaches its limit it will transform into Ash Geninja for the duration of the fight, greatly increasing its speed and power while also getting a pretty slick look. When the battle finishes it will revert back to its normal form. That’s all there is to it.

Do note, though, that your Greninja will ignore you most of the time until you beat two challenges in the Alola Region due to its level. You can get it to obey you once every few turns, but it’s moves most of the time will be completely random (and frustrating), so earn yourself some Alolan experience first.
