Calling All Ninja Wannabes: How to Snag a Battle Bond Greninja (Because Apparently You Can't Just Ask Nicely)
Ah, Greninja. The sleek, shadowy Water-type with ninja moves so smooth they make James Bond look like a toddler with a plastic spork. But this ain't your average Greninja, my friends. We're talking about the elusive Battle Bond Greninja, the one that transforms mid-battle like a Pok�mon superhero.
Now, you might think getting your hands on one of these bad boys would be as easy as throwing a Pok� Ball. Wrong-o! This Greninja is rarer than a Zubat with manners. So, buckle up, trainers, because we're about to delve into the slightly bizarre, and undeniably convoluted, method of acquiring a Battle Bond Greninja.

| How To Get Battle Bond Greninja |
Step 1: Dive Back in Time (With a 3DS, Not a DeLorean)
That's right, folks. The only way to snag this special Greninja is by playing the Pokemon Sun and Moon demo. Yes, you read that correctly. The DEMO. Apparently, Professor Kukui is a bit more generous in the demo version, showering you with rare Pokemon like they're candy.
Tip: Share this article if you find it helpful.
But wait, there's a catch (of course there is)! The Pokemon Sun and Moon demo ended in March 2023. So, unless you have a time machine disguised as a Nintendo 3DS (and if you do, hit me up, I need to win the lottery), this method is officially out.
Don't panic just yet, Grasshopper! We'll discuss some alternative options (emphasis on the "alternative") a little later.
Tip: Look out for transitions like ‘however’ or ‘but’.
Step 2: Become a Demo Master (If You Can)
For those lucky trainers who do have access to the demo, here's what you gotta do:
 |
- Boot up that 3DS and download the Pokemon Sun and Moon demo.
- Head to your in-game mailbox. Inside, you'll find a gift with a sprightly Greninja attached. This little guy is the key to your Battle Bond dreams.
- Now, here's the important part: You gotta play through the entire demo. Yes, the whole thing. Battle Team Skull grunts, conquer the Trial, the whole shebang.
- Once you've proven your Pokemon prowess (or at least your button-mashing skills), speak to Professor Kukui at the Pokemon Center.
- Tell him you want to transfer your Greninja to the full game. Professor Kukui, bless his generous soul, will make it happen.
And voila! In your full Pokemon Sun and Moon game, you'll now have a Battle Bond Greninja ready to unleash its inner ninja fury.
QuickTip: Focus on one line if it feels important.
Step 3: Alternative Avenues (If You Don't Have a Time Machine or a Demo)
Alright, so the whole time travel/demo thing might be a bit of a roadblock. But fear not, there are (sort of) other options:
- Trading: Keep your eyes peeled online for trainers willing to trade their Battle Bond Greninja. Just be prepared to offer something truly epic in return. We're talking legendaries, shinies, maybe even your firstborn (not recommended, but hey, it's a free market).
- Wait for a Mystery Gift Event: There's always a chance Nintendo might take pity on us Greninja-obsessed trainers and offer Battle Bond Greninja as a Mystery Gift in a future game. Keep those ears to the ground, trainers!
Just a heads up, these alternative methods are far from guaranteed. So, if you're truly desperate for a Battle Bond Greninja, you might have to start stocking up on incense and practicing your best Professor Oak impression (gotta find those time travelers somehow!).
QuickTip: Highlight useful points as you read.
Good luck, trainers! May the Froakies be ever in your favor!
