Sanpei's Greninja (Japanese: サンペイのゲッコウガ Sanpei's Gekkouga) is Sanpei's first known Pokémon.

History

As a Frogadier

It was first seen as a Frogadier sitting on a branch, which made Ash decided to look for its Trainer. After meeting Sanpei, Ash used his Froakie to battle Frogadier, but was defeated because Frogadier was too fast to keep up with. Frogadier aided Froakie in its training to learn Quick Attack. Frogadier showed its various techniques, such as jumping quickly from spot to spot and quickly running across the surface of the water. Eventually Team Rocket attacked with a giant ninja robot, which Frogadier and Froakie teamed up to defeat with a double Water Pulse. Afterwards it said its farewells to Froakie and the group as it and Sanpei went on their way.

It reappeared in A Stealthy Challenge!, as a Greninja. Greninja battled a masked ninja's Barbaracle but it got poisoned by Barbaracle's Poison Jab and was sent flying into a river along with its Trainer. Later, Greninja battled Barbaracle again along with Ash's Pikachu and Froakie. Although Greninja and Pikachu got blinded by Barbaracle's Mud-Slap, Froakie managed to defeat Barbaracle after evolving into Frogadier. Later, after Sanpei completed his mission, Greninja battled Ash's newly evolved Frogadier, but the outcome of this battle remains unknown.

Personality and characteristics

Greninja listens to his trainer's commands without fail, showing a sense of loyalty. It also appears to be friendly, as it helped Ash's Froakie learn Quick Attack.
