Since the dawn of Pokémon, fans have been entranced by the catchable pocket monsters and the ever-expanding universe they come from. The detailed art on the trading cards and in the Pokémon video games has captured fans’ imaginations, leading to some truly impressive fan art – especially of fan-favorite ‘mons like Greninja.

A Water/Dark-type, Greninja is the final evolution of Gen 6 starter Froakie. Greninja can be identified by the long tongue it uses as a makeshift mask and the ninja stars made of compressed water it uses as projectiles. A quick and offensive Pokémon, Greninja has earned a top spot in the minds of Pokémon and Nintendo fans, also making an appearance as a playable fighter in Super Smash Brothers Ultimate.

Compiled below are illustrations of Pokémon’s Greninja created by various series fans. These art pieces, unbound by the pressures of sales or brand continuity, often paint a unique story for the froggy fighter and offer a special perspective through the eyes of the artist. Take a look at Greninja reimagined by these fans, and follow their linked usernames to find more of their work.

Pokémon Fan Art: Cool Greninja

Greninja takes a brief respite from its battles in this DeviantArt piece by ColdBed. Seen twirling one of its signature stars, this image brings out a lighter, more restful side of Greninja. Rather than being on the attack, it seems to be having a moment of reflection. Greninja’s humanoid form paints a parallel to spinning a basketball on one’s finger in this piece, as well. This is a nice moment of levity for this prowler Pokémon.

Pokémon Fan Art: Cute Greninja

Depicted in a way Pokémon fans have likely never seen before, this piece by DeviantArt’s SplashBrush is a fun and refreshing one. Greninja is wading in a comfortable pool, either bathing or relaxing. Its eye is a clear indication that Greninja is enjoying a moment of selfish pampering in this piece, and it gives fans a lovely sense of fun that is often missing in illustrations of Greninja.

Pokémon Fan Art: Battling Greninja

This illustration of Greninja errs on the side of realism, thanks to Phill-Art of DeviantArt. In this piece, the soft-edged tone Pokémon often sets has been replaced by hard lines and shading. Greninja’s iconic ninja stars have been swapped out for vicious-looking daggers of water, and Greninja does not look like its in a playful mood.

Pokémon Fan Art: Jumping Greninja

Here is Greninja in its true happy place. Mid-battle, and about to do some serious damage, this DeviantArt depiction of Greninja by KeiNhanGia is enough to get any Pokémon fan’s blood pressure rising. Greninja seems to be summoning up large pools of water and prepping for a whopping fight.

Pokémon Fan Art: Realistic Greninja

This final illustration’s nightmare fuel is created by ReneCampbellArt of Deviant Art. In addition to an ultra-realistic depiction of Greninja, also included are Froakie and Frogadier, the other two members of this evolutionary line. Greninja is seen here with its usual tongue-scarf, and the realism of this piece makes it look more uncomfortable than it ever has. It’s a unique look into what a real-world Pokémon would look like – and just how much that would differ from the version fans know and love.

Fan art is the gift that keeps on giving. Since Pokémon’s Generation 1, artists have been showing fans what kind of opportunity exists if one is able to see beyond the original illustrations and designs. There is no limit to what talented artists can imagine, and with the world of Pokémon continuing to grow, Pokémaniacs can be grateful that the incredible library of fan art will grow with it.
