From the very beginning of Pokémon Sun and Moon we got to know about all the available Pokémon including their type stats and abilities. Some Pokémon appeared to be very good on paper, but then in the moment of truth they were not as good or even worse. On the flip side, some Pokémon appeared to be really bad with low stats or bad typing but then became the face of the OU meta game.
What do you think ?
I have one example for now and it's Ash Greninja. I really thought this mon would not stand a chance as long as you can have Protean Greninja. Turns out this Greninja-A can actually be better and the issue of fainting an opposing Pokémon is not that hard to accomplish. RegularGreninja is still a great Pokémon to use, but its mere existence doesn't prevent Ash Greninja to shine in OU, at least for now.
