Greninja (Ash-Greninja)

Game data

Greninja (Ash-Greninja) sits here because the games give its Ash-Greninja a base Speed of 132. That integer is a battle stat. The explanation is game lore, not a running speed.

1. A stat, not a stopwatch

   Base Speed is the number a battle uses before natures, items and stages. PokéAPI, Bulbapedia and Serebii agree on 132 for Greninja (Ash-Greninja). None of them timed an animal.

2. Battle Bond

   Ash-Greninja is the Battle Bond forme from the games' story, with a stat block that raises Speed above ordinary Greninja. It is a narrative forme and a published integer. It is not a person's running speed.

3. Ash-Greninja

   Greninja (Ash-Greninja) is Greninja's Ash-Greninja. The games publish a separate stat block, so it is not folded into the base form.

Nearby on the base Speed list: Miraidon and Aerodactyl. Same kind of stat. Different lore.
