Greninja is expected to return as an unlockable fighter, however, as with other fighters, Greninja's unlocking condition is expected to be much faster and easier than in previous iterations.
Greninja returned as a fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. By default, Lucario is the 58th character to be unlocked through {{sbw|Versus Mode|VS. matches}}, but can potentially be unlocked earlier by clearing {{sbw|Classic Mode}} with {{zw|Sheik}}, being the sixth in {{smw|Donkey Kong}}'s unlock tree.


Greninja's Final Smash now transforms it into [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Greninja|Ash-Greninja]]<ref>[https://www.smashbros.com/en_US/blog/index.html?category=cat02_fighter_50 Super Smash Blog | Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for the Nintendo Switch System | Official Site]</ref>.
Greninja is much faster in ''Ultimate'', with more agile movement and less landing lag in its aerial attacks, as well as stronger normal attacks with more damage and knockback. Its {{m|Water Shuriken}}s have slighly better ranger, its {{m|Substitute}} reacts faster. Greninja's {{m|Hydro Pump}} now has an arrow that indicates the direction the player is going, while a tell is added to Greninja's {{m|Shadow Sneak}}. While these changes can make Greninja easier to play, it can also make it easier to predict. Greninja's Final Smash, while mechanically the same, transforms it into [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Greninja|Ash-Greninja]] before performing the initial {{m|Mat Block}}.

In Spirits mode, Greninja dodges one of the beams of light by jumping, just before Lucario is hit. However, another one hits Greninja while in the air.
 
===Classic Mode===
Greninja's {{sbw|Classic Mode}} route is called '''Your Turn, Greninja!''' In this scenario, Greninja fights up to two [[Pokémon]] fighters in each round. Sometimes, these fighters are joined by ones from another franchise that matches their [[type]]<!--. During these fights, the stage is guaranteed to change to a form that matches the opponents' element-->. Note that {{SSB|Squirtle}}, {{SSB|Ivysaur}}, and {{SSB|Charizard}} all appear without {{SSB|Pokémon Trainer}} and cannot switch.
 
Its last boss is {{sbw|Master Hand}}, who is joined by {{sbw|Crazy Hand}} if the player reaches the fight at {{sbw|Difficulty|intensity}} 7.0 or higher.

===World of Light===
During the opening cutscene, Greninja was present on the cliffside when {{sbw|Galeem}} unleashed his beams of light. Greninja leaped into the air to avoid one of the beams, which hit {{SSB|Lucario}} instead. Greninja was hit shortly after and vaporized, getting imprisoned by Galeem afterward along with the other fighters, excluding {{wk|Kirby}}. A puppet fighter cloned from Greninja is later seen alongside ones cloned from {{lw|Fox McCloud|Fox}}, {{met|Samus Aran|Samus}}, {{zw|Link}} and other fighters.
 
Greninja's icon isn't found until the player reaches the World of Dark, where it is located in the Mysterious Dimension subarea. After defeating it, Greninja is freed and can be selected in battle in the Adventure mode.

*It was revealed that Greninja was decided to be in the game before [[Pokémon X and Y]] was even released. Masahiro Sakurai knew that a Gen 6 Pokémon was going to be a playable fighter in Smash 4, so when Greninja was decided, all they had to go on in terms of design was concept art, similar to {{few|Roy}} during the development of [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]].

*In every language of the game, Greninja shares its voice actor with [[Ash's Greninja]] in the respective language. Starting with [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]., Greninja uses water kunai in some of its attacks like Ash's Greninja does when using [[Cut (move)|Cut]], and it becomes [[Ash-Greninja]] during its Final Smash.
