So, I"m watching Pokemon XYZ for the first time, and just hit the Ninja Village, and no one seems to have a fire mon. This got me thinking, what is the most ninja-like Pokemon for each type?
Post your pick for most ninja-like mon. I'd like a list of monotypes, but if you think a dualtype should go in it's place only if there isn't a monotype that fits the bill (steel, for example, might be Bisharp or Scizor).
Here's the list I've just thought up. only a moment of thought was given to each selection, so change my mind!
Normal- Ditto! Transformation is a ninja technique.
Fire- Blaziken? Can't think of a monotype that would work here, but the high jumps and general sleek look of Blaziken works.
Water- Greninja, obviously.
Grass- Sceptile or Serperior? Both are fast, smart, and sneaky.
Electric- Manectric has a pretty varied moveset, which could come in handy for a ninja.
Flying- Crobat for sure.
FIghting- Mienshao, all that lovely meditation and such make for ninja mastery.
Bug- Accelgor! Rawr!
Poison- Weezing? Maybe? Smokescreen/Poison/Trickyness.
Psychic- I dunno. Wobuffet maybe? This one is hard.
Ghost- Dusknoir because fuck you.
Rock- Sudowoodo for a monotype. Disguising itself as a grass mon fooled me when I was a kid.
Ground- Marowak? Uses a club like a katana half the time in the shows.
Ice- Weavile? There just aren't any good monotype ice.
Dragon- Noivern, because it's the only ninja-like dragon at all.
Dark- Zoroark. Illusion and all that type coverage.
Steel- Bisharp or Scizor, maybe.
Fairy- Fuck. Uh. Jigglypuff. Because who the hell else?

Ninetails for fire, naturally

Also Accelgor and not Ninjask

I thought about Shedinja for a moment, and it's a natural fit.

Ninjask would definitely work.

At any point when you were typing out this post did you stop and think of how autistic of a subject this is?
>>27885525
If this is autism, then liking Pokemon must be autistic in general. Get your head out of your ass and have some fun, man.

Oh, I didn't even think to add Sun & Moon stuff. Good idea!
>>27884952
What the fuck does Serperior have to do with ninjas? It's a French royalty snek.
Sceptile is even compared to a ninja in the dex.
>>27885625
I dunno, it just feels sleek and sneaky to me. It's like it's disguising himself as a noble creature to trick you into believing it isn't a sneaky snek.

Also the pre evo is a fucking ninja
