    ​@@gamedominatorxennongdm7956 Because Tera adds in another layer of mind games with virtually every turn it isn't used up, whereas mega's make it so that the power boost is mandatory to have one of the 46 megas (not including Rayquaza nor Mewtwo) on your team. Not only is mega's constrictive due to the amount of pokemon available, but the fact that there are so many undeserved or even useless mega's out there and you're gonna use the best ones anyway. This ends up having very stale/samey teams that use more or less the same meta mega's and pokemon teams. Not only that but you're gonna mega evolve turn 1 the moment you send it out, because there's virtually no point in keeping a weaker mon when you're gonna mega evolve turn 1 (there are very rare and minuscule exceptions where you don't but those are still the niche mons that have it). With tera you can use it on anyone and almost ANY pokemon can have their time to shine and you can have the freedom of choosing WHEN to tera when you always have to mega turn one in comparison. Tera offers offensive and defensive capabilities, the mind game of when to tera and also to gauge what tera type the opponent uses offers way more versatility and freedom compared to mega's and even dynamax. All in all, Tera isn't just a gimmick where it makes already powerful options better there's counter play and even there are occasions where your most powerful mon can be taken down so you'll have to spend tera on another mon other than them or the opponent guessing correctly and taking your tera mon out. Mega's in my opinion are cooler and better executed, but Terastalising gameplay wise is just better, most if not all competitive players agree too.

    This was explained poorly. For those wondering why you couldn't use a female Greninja or a shiny, it's because battle bond Greninja came from an event. That Greninja was only male&Non shiny, so if you had a female Gren then the opponent would know that you didn't have battle bond. It'd also be a hacked pokemon, so y'know, you'd get banned..

    If I remember, there is or was a thing in competitive Magic the Gathering where players would run exclusively snow lands (in place of basic lands) even if their deck had no need for snow mana. This was because not playing those lands immediately told your opponent that you weren't running a bunch of nasty cards which require snow mana.

    Same thing with genesect. Genesect can get the move shift gear, but only from a special real life event, of which it was a shiny genesect. Choice scarf is usually what you run on genesect, but shift gear can be a potential surprise option, so if you are playing Pokemon showdown you should run shiny genesect. Also idk what gens this is important for, I know I had to do it for gen 8 doubles.

    Not really lol. New battle bond is kinda eh. It's a once per match +1 to attack, special attack and speed which is capable of setting the scene for a sweep but 90% of the time any mon that counters greninja can just switch in and force Greninja to lose the stat boosts. Unless you try to kill the greninja counter before sending in greninja which limits your team to a 5v1 for most of the match and your opponent can just see through it and not send in the counter too

    Point is Ash-Greninja even in base form cannot legally be Shiny or Female. When send out, you can see gender and color before even attacking. If Greninja is female, it cannot be Battle Bond (Assuming there is no hacking) so it must be Protean or for some reason Torrent (Protean was uber ability and Torrent is trash). In same case if it is Shiny, it cannot have Battle Bond because Battle Bond Greninja is Shiny locked (Again assuming there is no hacking).

    Pls pin this to avoid angry comments! Ash-Greninja is literally a reference to Ash's anime Greninja and he's a boy. Only this specific Greninja can transform because of Ash's aura powers so if you use a Greninja that is easily identifiable as not Ash's (shiny/female) then you reduce the guessing games with your opponent and they can assume your Gren is Protean. Right now, Ash-Greninja isn't legal in online play so it's perfectly fine to use a female/shiny Greninja. I call mine Kunoichi 🌊.

    Battle Bond Greninja is an exclusive Pokémon that is acquired ONCE by completing the Sun and Moon Demo, and is transferable to the actual game. As this Greninja is supposed to be a 1:1 replica of Ash's Greninja from the anime it naturally shares the same gender, non-shiny status and even has Ash as its OT, hence why this restriction.
