Greninja

GBL Note Analysis

Basis: PvPoke simulation · last-30-day field meta · S27 New Beginnings

✔ Strengths & how to use

• Its Lead · Closer role scores are all high, so it isn't tied to one slot and can flex across positions.
• It posts favorable results against current field-meta staples Lickilicky(#1) · Mimikyu(#12) · Empoleon(#19), giving it real value as a meta counter.
• On defense it double-resists Psychic · resists Fire · Water · Ice · Ghost · Dark · Steel, holding up well against those attackers.

⚠ Weaknesses & threats

• On defense it is weak to Electric · Grass · Fighting · Bug · Fairy, so watch out for those attackers.
• It's notably unfavored into Guzzlord (usage rank #18), common right now, so dodging that matchup is safer in the current meta.
