THE BATTLE BOND "NERF" IS ACTUALLY A BUFF! w/ Phil
11Greninja's Battle Bond ability has been changed in Scarlet & Violet. What once transformed Greninja on a defeat into Ash-Greninja, a faux Mega Evolution boosting its stats and Water Shuriken, now gives Greninja +1 to its Attack, Special Attack and Speed. Although its disappointing losing out on such a cool concept, what many originally considered a nerf may turn out to be a buff. Battle Bond now allows Greninja to boost its stats, basically giving it a free Choice Specs, Band and Scarf once per battle. This is a huge power and speed increase compared to what it was, making Greninja a terrifying late-game cleaner. Haters beware — Greninja might just be back!
