The newest installment into the Pokemon franchise, Pokemon Unite, has taken some impressive liberties by taking the series into the uncharted territory of MOBA games. As far as Pokemon Spin-off games go, Pokemon Unite has been met with fairly favorable reviews from fans.
Part of the game's charm is the list of characters in Pokemon Unite that TiMi Studios has incorporated in the game. There are many popular fan favorites such as Pikachu and Charizard, as well as newer, lesser-known characters such as Crustle and Eldegoss.

Another playable Pokemon, Greninja, is a powerful ranged fighter that can steal HP from its opponents and create clones that are helpful in battle. With the right tools, Greninja can come in handy for a variety of roles. So for Pokemon Unite fans looking to make the most use out of Greninja, here are some of its best builds.
One of the best uses for Greninja is fishing for exp and upgrades in the jungle for the entire team. In addition, its passive attack deals extra damage based on how much health Greninja is missing, so it is perfect against idle jungle targets.
Some of the best held items in Pokemon Unite for a jungle build include the Float Stone, a Muscle Band, and Scope Lens. The Float Stone helps Greninja move faster in the jungle when avoiding battle, and the Muscle Band and Scope Lens boost Greninja's basic attack and critical hit damage. Equipping the Eject Button also helps Greninja avoid potentially dangerous situations.
For someone looking to pursue a setup with various uses, an any lane build is great to help adapt to different situations. Start by equipping Greninja with the Scope Lens, Muscle Band, and the Buddy Barrier. The Scope Lens and Muscle Band items help with Greninja's attack stats, while the Buddy Barrier helps shield Greninja when using its ultimate.
Gamers will want to start by choosing Bubble and slowly chip away at enemy players' health at a safe distance. Then, when fans unlock substitute, they can start playing more aggressively and sneak up to enemies while invisible. In team attacks, it will be important to flank enemies from the side and wait for the perfect moment to jump in the group and use Greninja's unite move.
Greninja would work best with the Muscle Band, Scope Lens, and Focus Band for a more damage-intensive build. Muscle Band and Scope Lens will raise Greninja's attack stats, while Focus Band helps it gradually recover HP, allowing Greninja to fight more frequently.
This build helps fans who want to wipe out their opponents quickly and for the Drednaw. Stick with using bubble to slow down opponents and hit them with surf to deal massive damage and gain back some health.
