Understanding Restored Protean

This mod restores Protean to its pre-Generation 9 mechanics, allowing your Greninja to change its type with every attack it uses, rather than only once per battle.

How It Works in Battle

When your Greninja uses any move, its type automatically shifts to match that move's type. For example:

  • Using Water Pulse makes Greninja become Water-type
  • Using Dark Pulse shifts it to Dark-type
  • Using Focus Blast changes it to Fighting-type

This happens before the move resolves, giving you type-based defensive advantages and STAB (Same-Type Attack Bonus) on every attack.

Strategic Advantages

  • Gain defensive coverage by matching your type to resist incoming attacks
  • Maximize offensive damage through constant STAB application
  • Switch defensive matchups mid-battle without switching Pokémon
  • Combine with move variety to adapt to any opponent

The continuous switching makes Greninja highly adaptable in prolonged battles.
