Battle Bond (Japanese: きずなへんげ Bond Transformation) is an Ability introduced in Generation VII. It is the signature Ability of Greninja.
Effect
In battle
After a Greninja with this Ability causes an opponent to faint, it will change form into Ash-Greninja. In this form, its Water Shuriken's base power is raised from 15 to 20 and always hits 3 times.
If Greninja with this Ability has been suppressed by Gastro Acid, upon causing an opponent to faint, it will not change form into Ash-Greninja. Losing the ability via Skill Swap or Gastro Acid after transforming to Ash-Greninja will not cause the form to be reverted back.
After the battle, the Pokémon reverts to its original form.
Greninja with this Ability cannot breed.
Outside of battle
Battle Bond has no effect outside of battle.
