History
Greninja is the final evolution of the Water/Dark-type starter Froakie, originating from the Kalos region. A Ninja Pokémon, it is renowned for its speed, agility, and stealth, vanishing and reappearing to confound foes. It fights by forming compressed water into shuriken-like throwing stars, and it can leap and dart with such grace that opponents struggle to track it; in the anime, Ash's Greninja famously achieved a special 'Ash-Greninja' transformation.
Name & meaning
The Japanese name ゲッコウガ (Gekkouga) combines 月光 (gekkou, meaning 'moonlight') with 牙 (ga, meaning 'fang'), evoking a nocturnal, stealthy hunter striking under moonlight. The English name 'Greninja' is a portmanteau of 'grenouille' (the French word for 'frog,' reflecting its frog-like design) or simply 'green' plus 'ninja,' tying together its amphibian basis and ninja theme.
