Bond Phenomenon: Difference between revisions

Bond Phenomenon made its [[core series]] debut in the form of a {{p|Greninja}} that can be transferred to [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] from the [[Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon Special Demo Version|Special Demo Version]]. This unique Greninja possesses the {{a|Battle Bond}} [[Ability]], which triggers the transformation after the opposing Pokémon has [[Fainting|fainted]] and increases the [[power]] of {{m|Water Shuriken}} by approximately 33% (or more accurately, by a factor of 5448/4096). This [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Greninja|alternate form]] is called '''Ash-Greninja''' (Japanese: '''サトシゲッコウガ''' ''Satoshi Gekkouga''). In addition, the base Battle Bond Greninja, before transforming, are treated as an alternate form separate from Greninja with {{a|Torrent}} or {{a|Protean}}. As of [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], Battle Bond no longer transforms Greninja to Ash-Greninja, leading the form being exclusive to Generation VII.
