Water Shuriken starts [[charge|charging]] when pressing the special button, and is thrown forward when the button is released. The more it is charged, the bigger, more powerful and slower it is, and when charged for a sufficient duration it hits multiple times while pushing the opponent back and ends with some notable knockback (which can be Smash DI'd out of). Uncharged shurikens only hit once and are very quick, making them easy to [[spam]].

Unlike several similar projectiles, the charge of the move cannot be [[charge-cancel|stored]].

Introduced in Generation VI, Water Shuriken is a physical (Generation 6) or Special (Generation 7) Water-type move with the unique trait of having +1 priority (like [[Quick Attack]]), going before most other moves, while also hitting multiple times in one turn. Greninja can first learn Water Shuriken at level 36, the same level at which it evolves from {{pkmn|Frogadier}}. Additionally, Water Shuriken was one of Greninja's two signature moves in ''Pokémon X & Y'', although it has since been made accessible to {{pkmn|Accelgor}} as well.

*Despite being a [[Water]] attack, this move can still harm blue [[Pikmin]], most likely due to the actual damaging component of the move being blade-based and not water-based.
