====Generation VII to VIII====
When a {{p|Greninja}} with Battle Bond directly causes another Pokémon (including allies) to [[fainting|faint]] by using a damaging move, unless this ends the battle, it will change into [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Greninja|Ash-Greninja]]. After the battle, the Pokémon reverts to its original form.

After the battle, the Pokémon reverts to its original form.


Ash-Greninja has higher [[base stat]]s than regular Greninja. If Ash-Greninja uses {{m|Water Shuriken}}, the move's [[power]] becomes 20 (rather than the usual 15) and it always hits three times. If a Pokémon transforms into Ash-Greninja, Battle Bond does not affect the transformed Pokémon's use of Water Shuriken.

Multiple Greninja can activate this Ability during the same battle. If Ash-Greninja faints in battle, it will revert to its original form, and that Greninja cannot change into Ash-Greninja again during the same battle even after being revived.

{{m|Gastro Acid}}, {{m|Worry Seed}}, {{m|Simple Beam}}, and {{m|Entrainment}} fail if the target has Battle Bond. {{m|Role Play}} and {{m|Skill Swap}} fail if either Pokémon has Battle Bond. Battle Bond cannot be copied by {{a|Trace}}, {{a|Power of Alchemy}}, or {{a|Receiver}}. Battle Bond cannot be replaced by {{a|Mummy}} or suppressed by {{m|Core Enforcer}}. If a Pokémon other than Greninja obtains Battle Bond with {{a|Imposter}} or {{m|Transform}}, the Pokémon cannot change form into Ash-Greninja even if it knocks out another Pokémon.

====Generation IX====
Battle Bond no longer changes Greninja into Ash-Greninja. Instead, when a Pokémon with Battle Bond directly causes another Pokémon (including allies) to faint by using a damaging move, its Attack, Special Attack, and Speed stats are increased by one stage. This Ability only activates once per battle. If the aforementioned stats are already at +6 stages, Battle Bond will not activate.
 
Water Shuriken is no longer affected by Battle Bond.
