In [[bulbapedia:Pokémon Sun and Moon|''Pokémon Sun'' and ''Moon'']], Greninja appears as a {{s|bulbapedia|gift Pokémon}} obtainable via the games' demo version. This Greninja has the unique {{s|bulbapedia|Battle Bond}} {{s|bulbapedia|ability}}, which allows it to transform into its more powerful "Ash-Greninja" form after defeating a Pokémon, which initially debuted in the ''Pokémon'' anime.  In ''Sun and Moon'', “Ash-Greninja” can only be used by male Greninja, and cannot breed.

Greninja has made multiple appearances in the ''Pokémon'' anime, but is most notable for being {{s|bulbapedia|Ash Ketchum}}'s [[bulbapedia:Ash's Greninja|ace Pokémon]] during the {{s|bulbapedia|XY series}}. Having been part of Ash's party ever since Ash received it from {{s|bulbapedia|Professor Sycamore}}, the Pokémon developed a close bond with Ash throughout the series as it trained and evolved, eventually gaining access to its strengthened "Ash-Greninja" form because of [[bulbapedia:Bond Phenomenon|the connection between Pokémon and Trainer]].

With the help of Greninja and the rest of his Pokémon team, Ash was able to achieve his greatest success in a Pokémon League tournament up to that point, only losing in the finals due to Greninja being overwhelmed and defeated by {{s|bulbapedia|Alain's Charizard}}. At the end of the series, Greninja bade farewell to Ash, parting ways in order to help protect Kalos alongside two {{pkmn|Zygarde}}, {{s|bulbapedia|Squishy}} and {{s|Bulbapedia|Z2}}.
