The best Pokemon builds to counter 7-star Greninja
Slow build:
- Skill: Indifferent
- Held Item: Leftovers
- Tera Type: Psychic
- Max Stat: HP/Def
- Movements:
- iron defense
- nasty plot
- Stored energy
- loosen up
Slowbro has shown its effective build through the Cinderace Tera Raid event with its Stored Power move, but at the cost of having a long build.
Clodsire Construction:
- Skill: Water Absorption
- Held Item: Leftovers
- Tera Type: Earth
- Max Stat: HP/Sp.Def
- Movements:
- acid spray
- The power of the earth

Clodsire’s water absorb ability will render water-type attacks ineffective, with the additional effect of healing him. Additionally, the Poison type will also nullify any Poison attacks that come your way. He may need to increase the PP on Earth Power to ensure he has enough to last the entire fight.
