Ash-Greninja can now evolve on command like mega evolution and can have any nature/IV spread. Would it be superior to protean Greninja? How would it be placed in the meta?

It would shit on Protean Greninja offensively. Its Gunk Shot and Ice Beam would only be slightly weaker, but it'd both be faster and do far much damage with Scald/Water Shuriken and Dark Pulse.

What?

It's locked to being hardy and 20/31/20/31/20/31 ivs

Uber tier I guess, Ash Greninja was banned from 2017 VGC the same moment it was shown in the trailer.
Although with a good nature and EVs/IVs I can't see it being good enough to be banned, good luck taking anything down in the uber metagame. Even when you pull off activating Battle Bond its power will still be underwhelming.

Yeah, but non-perfect IVs are a non-issue as Hyper Training can correct that.
Nothing can be done about that awful nature though.
>>29705550
Is it really awful though?
bad, yes, but I feel something like relaxed would better fit "awful"

It's banned because Greninja isn't on the Aloladex not because it's strong.
