Is Greninja good in Standard?
Its hardest-hitting attack is Shinobi Blade on Greninja ex (Twilight Masquerade), doing 170 for 1 Energy. The bulkiest version is Mega Greninja ex with 350 HP, but it gives up 3 Prize cards when Knocked Out. Watch out for Psychic and Lightning attackers — that's its weakness.
