Battle Bond Greyninja

Can someone explain how to get a Battle Bond Greyninja??

First off all you need a Protean ability Froakie, when you evolve it to a Greninja it has a chance of the Protean ability turning into Battle Bond! Use a BMS for better chances!

[Yumeko77]

You can verify whether the froakie has the Battle Bond ability by checking if it can learn moves in the Daycare. If it can, then it is a regular Protean froakie; however, if it cannot, then it is a Battle Bond Froakie.

Allow me to add to the information provided by the others.

 

Not every Protean Froakie has the chance to become Battle Bond when fully evolved. In order for it to be eligible to get that ability, the Froakie has to be caught under very specific circumstances. This is usually time and/or location restrictions, and usually announced to the players when in place. Protean Froakies caught outside of these parameters will not become Battle Bond Greninjas. These time restrictions are usually tied to a major event, world quest, or outbreak. 

 

Previously, there have been announcements on the PRO Discord or in-game on when and were these special Froakies can be caught. They're usually only obtainable for a limited time, often in a specific location, and the methodology can be varied. Sometimes, a small percentage of these Protean Froakie caught at that time can become Battle Bond, or that regular Protean is rarer, meaning most Protean caught would become Battle Bond. There have also been cases where regular Protean was turned off completely, meaning all Protean Froakie caught then would become Battle Bond. 

 

 

For example, it was available during this past Halloween Event, starting on October 11th. Unlike previously, it wasn't announced on Discord but in the game, with the message:

System: Some bonds grow stronger through battle... even enough to change what once seemed unchangeable. Necropolis feels different lately. 

 

This meant that Protean Froakie encountered at the location Necropolis had a chance of being Battle Bond when evolved, while Froakie in other locations (Eumi Island or Guild Island) did not have them. You could still encounter a regular Protean Froakie, which remained as Protean Greninja when evolved.

 

This is different from the Halloween event of 2023, in which it was only available October 20th - 22nd. During that time, regular Protean was turned off, meaning every Protean Froakie encountered would become Battle Bond upon final evolution. 

 

 

As the others have described above, there are 2 ways of detecting if a Protean Froakie has the ability to become a Battle Bond Greninja. The method Yukemo77 describes can be helpful if you have caught multiple Protean Froakies from different times or events.

 

I hope this make this a bit clearer
