HP : 286
Attack: 283
Defense : 233
Speed : 280

Support Requirements: needs coaching or reflect. needs a counter to bulk up (taunt, tickle, chilling water + leer, charm + screech).

Strategy: mud-slap until your stats reset. 6x double team. after emboar resets its stats, optional 1-3 mud-slap. swords dance until your attack is at +6. terastalize, tera blast to victory.

Pros: supereffective tera type matching base type, great atk stat, decent def stat, outspeeds emboar, mud-slap lowers accuracy 1 stage through shield while charging tera orb. protean ability makes it so that if you use mud-slap on turn 1, greninja's base type becomes ground, which eliminates weakness to drain punch, converts wild charge weakness into an immunity, and adds resistance to head smash. double team raises evasion 1 stage. swords dance raises atk 2 stages. tera blast has a base power of 80, accuracy of 100, and deals supereffective STAB (tera-boosted when terastalized) damage. metronome boosts damage by a factor that increases with consecutive attacks (1x,1.2x,1.4x,...).

Cons: poor HP stat

Overall Rating: 8/10
