'''Substitute''' ({{ja|みがわり|Migawari}}, ''{{s|wikipedia|Scapegoat}}'') is [[Greninja]]'s [[down special move]].


==Overview==
Functioning as a [[counterattack]], Greninja strikes a pose and, when attacked, disappears in a puff of smoke with a wooden log or a Substitute doll taking its place; it then reappears with a strong flying kick. The log or doll can be hit and flung around by damage, and can even stop one-hit projectiles such as [[Shadow Ball]] or [[Charge Shot]], or activate hitbox-detecting attacks like [[Upperdash Arm]] and [[Quick Draw]], making it a situational shield. It disappears after a few seconds.
