According to the Pokédex and based on its statistics in the ''Pokémon'' games, Greninja is extremely fast, to the point that it has the highest raw speed statistic of any starter Pokémon (not counting Mega Evolution). Fittingly, it relies on this speed in battle to confound its prey with swift, ninja-like grace before striking with its {{iw|bulbapedia|Water Shuriken|move}} move, which is said to be able to shear metal. In exchange, however, it is rather frail because of its low overall defenses.

In the ''Pokémon'' games, Greninja has access to numerous unique abilities. Initially, it was the only Pokémon able to learn [[Water Shuriken]]—which it uses in ''Super Smash Bros.''—and {{iw|bulbapedia|Mat Block|move}} (used in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series during [[Secret Ninja Attack]]), where it flips a tatami mat in front of itself to shield itself and its allies from incoming attacks. Besides these two unique moves, it has access to a diverse range of offensive and status moves; while its standard ability is {{s|bulbapedia|Torrent}} (as with every other Water type starter Pokémon, its [[bulbapedia:Ability#Hidden Abilities|Hidden Ability]] is the rare {{s|bulbapedia|Protean}}, which changes its type to match each move it uses and ensures it gets the maximum possible power out of every attack, allowing it to take advantage from its large range of available moves.

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 is male only, cannot breed, and has the unique {{s|bulbapedia|Battle Bond}} {{s|bulbapedia|ability}}, the latter of which transforms Greninja into its more powerful Ash-Greninja form after defeating a Pokémon. Ash-Greninja is exclusive to ''Sun'', ''Moon'' and their "{{s|bulbapedia|upper version}}s" [[bulbapedia:Pokémon Sun and Moon|''Ultra Sun'' and ''Ultra Moon'']], due to Greninja and its pre-evolutions being unobtainable in [[bulbapedia:Pokémon Sword and Shield|''Pokémon Sword'' and ''Shield'']], and the form being retired outright in favor of Battle Bond being repurposed into a stat-boosting ability in [[bulbapedia:Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|''Pokémon Scarlet'' and ''Violet'']].
