Best moveset for Froakie, Frogadier, and Greninja in Pokemon GO

Originating from the region of Kalos, Froakie is the creature that is going to be featured in the upcoming Community Day in Pokemon GO. This event will take place on August 13, 2023, from 2 pm to 5 pm local time. Trainers will be able to encounter Shiny Froakie for the first time in Pokemon GO, and Greninja is set to receive two new moves.

Greninja has been one of the most popular Water-type creatures in the main series of the Pokemon franchise. However, that has not been reflected in this title, as trainers have always favored other Water-type attackers with better moves or stats. With the addition of Water Shuriken and Hydro Cannon, Greninja's viability in Pokemon Go will likely see a significant change.

In this article, we will look at all the moves of the three creatures in Froakie’s evolutionary line. We will also cover the best moveset for them in Pokemon GO.
