'''Water Shuriken''' ({{ja|みずしゅりけん}}, ''Mizushuriken'') is {{SSB4|Greninja}}'s [[neutral special]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. It is a sharp projectile that can damage foes. When [[charge]]d for a sufficient duration, the move hits multiple times while pushing the opponent back; uncharged shurikens only hit once and appear to be reasonably [[spam]]mable. Unlike most chargable projectiles, the charge of the move cannot be stored.

Water Shuriken is one of Greninja's two signature moves (the other being [[bulbapedia:Mat Block (move)|Mat Block]], which must be taught by a {{s|bulbapedia|Move Reminder}}), which it learns at level 36 (and again at level 75, should it not know it at the time). It is a physical water-type move of +1 priority, 15 base power, 100% accuracy, 20 PP, and the ability to hit 2 to 5 times per use.

Introduced in Generation VI, Water Shuriken is a physical (Generation VI) or special (Generation VII onwards) 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. In Generation VII, if Greninja transforms to Ash-Greninja when Battle Bond is activated then Water Shuriken's power rises from 15 to 20, and it always hits three times.

Water Shuriken (みずしゅりけん, Water Shuriken) is Greninja's neutral special move.

Overview[edit]

Water Shuriken being charged in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS.

Water Shuriken starts 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. Using the move in the air causes a Fall Break that will raise Greninja upwards slightly, but it can only be done once before requiring Greninja to land; Kirby gains slightly more height by using the move in the air.

Unlike several similar projectiles, the charge of the move cannot be stored. Additionally, as it is not considered an energy-based projectile, it cannot be absorbed by PSI Magnet.

Origin[edit]

Water Shuriken in Pokémon X and Y.

Introduced in Generation VI, Water Shuriken is a physical (Generation VI) or special (Generation VII onwards) 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. In Generation VII, if Greninja transforms to Ash-Greninja when Battle Bond is activated then Water Shuriken's power rises from 15 to 20, and it always hits three times.

Greninja can first learn Water Shuriken at level 36, the same level at which it evolves from Frogadier. Additionally, Water Shuriken was one of Greninja's two signature moves in Pokémon X & Y, although it has since been made accessible to Accelgor starting from Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire; in Sword and Shield, only Accelgor can learn the move as Greninja was removed from the game.
