Pokemon Sun and Moon Dual Pack Cheats For 3DS

  1. How to get Ash-Greninja in Pokemon Sun/Moon

    In order to get Ash's Greninja from the Kalos seasons of the anime, you must download and play through the special demo of Pokemon Sun and Moon. This Greninja is the primary Pokemon in the demo, as Sun (the male player character) received it from a mysterious friend who found him in Kalos after he was released by Ash. After beating Plumeria and receiving the Ride Pager, go into the Pokemon Center and talk to Professor Kukui, and you can transfer a copy of this Greninja is sent to Pokemon Sun or Moon as long as you have a physical or digital copy. The Greninja's ability is Battle Bond, which transforms it into Ash-Greninja if you are in a battle against more than one Pokemon and you make one of them faint with Greninja. This also boosts the power of Greninja's signature attack, "Water Shuriken". Only one Greninja can be transferred per demo save, and only one of these Greninjas can be sent to a save at a time. Pokemon Bank COULD be used to get multiples, but it would take a lot of patience.
