In Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket, players get to experience not only the fun of ripping open in-game booster packs with a swipe of their finger, but also building an expansive collection of different digital card sets. As you build a collection, you will then be able to use the cards you have collected to form decks and play a simplified version of the physical Pokemon Trading Card Game. When it comes to building such decks, one or two 'ace Pokemon' of a specific Type are usually the go-to, with the addition of other cards that can create a reliable strategy.

Greninja is one of the many Pokemon suitable for building a deck around, and one of the better Water Type Pokemon. In particular, in comparison to some other decks, a Greninja deck may also be altered to be very suitable/craftable to new and free-to-play only players, as there is less rare/expensive cards involved in this build. Everything you'll need to know about the best Greninja deck build in Pokemon TCG Pocket, as well as a complete card list to help you get started, has been included below.

Best Greninja Deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket

articuno greninja

Greninja has the unique ability to damage Pokemon on your opponent's bench through the Water Shuriken ability, which gives it a unique edge with the correct deck build. This can help to chip extra damage on benched Pokemon, create a disturbance as the enemy prepares cards and evolutions, and pair with switches or additional Pokemon to create synergy and secure knockouts. While the most convenient/less costly variant of this deck can exclude additional Pokemon in favor of the Geninja line and other Item/Supporter cards, the best variant of the Greninja deck also includes two copies of Artiucno ex in the mix.

The inclusion of Articuno ex is really what makes this deck most viable and gives it a standing chance against some more powerful matchups. This is because much like Greninja, Articuno has the ability to deal damage to benched Pokemon through the Blizzard attack, which will hit the Active Pokemon for 80 damage, and dish out 10 damage to every Pokemon on the opponent's bench. In theory, if you can get Articuno into the Active Pokemon spot to be your main damage dealer, a fully evolved Greninja can also assist with Water Shuriken each turn to deal extra damage per turn to the benched Pokemon. Misty can be used to help set up Articuno as quickly as possible, and Poke Ball / Professor's Research has been incorporated to help get the correct cards to fully evolve Greninja into your hand.
