Just like any other popular fighting game,Dragon Ball: Sparking Zerois no stranger to well-made fan-created content. Even 4 months after its initial release, talented fans are still making wild and creative mods, like this one, which adds the iconic Pokémon Greninja to the game’s expansive roster.
Nyoh972 is a talented modder who has been working ona personal project named Project: P, which adds one popular Pokémon mod from each generation toDragon Ball: Sparking Zero. While he already completed some amazing characters like Lucario, Blaziken, and Golisopod, his newest one, the representative from the Kalos region, is one of the best ones so far.
Greninja, the Ninja Pokémon, was first introduced inPokémon X and Y,and it quickly became one of the most popular creatures in the franchise, thanks to its slick design, its formidable battle abilities, and its appearances inSuper Smash Brosand thePokémonanime. So it’s no surprise that Nyoh972 chose Greninja as the representative of the Sixth Generation and added it toDragon Ball: Sparking Zero.His ambitious mod is now available to download on Game Banana, and it even comes with a full description of every mechanic and move that the Ninja Pokémon can use.
This Pokémon mod is so incredible and ambitious that it feels official
It’s important to keep in mind that Nyoh972’s Greninja mod is not just a simple skin, it’s a complete character with its own unique move set. InDragon Ball: Sparking Zero, Greninja can use its signature move, Water Shuriken, alongside many other powerful moves it can learn in thePokémongames, like Hydro Pump, Shadow Sneak, Toxic, and Dark Pulse. Another great detail is that its iconic Shiny version is available as an alternate costume.
However, the most impressive aspect of this Greninja mod is the inclusion of its hidden ability, Protean. In thePokémongames, it allows its user to change its typing to the type of move it’s about to use, which was extremely useful until Game Freak nerfed it inScarlet and Violet. Protean has been synonymous with Greninja for more than 10 years, so it’s no surprise that Nyoh972 decided to include it in hisDragon Ball: Sparking Zeromod, where it lets the Ninja Pokémon change its skills between 4 different types (Water, Dark, Poison and Ghost) without changing form. This is actually a brilliant addition that proves this creator is a hugePokémonfan.
The only thing missing from this mod is Battle Bond Greninja (AKA Ash-Greninja), the special transformation that it can achieve inPokémon Sun and Moonand inPokémon the Series: XY. Don’t worry, however, because Nyoh972 already confirmed that he’s working on a Battle Bond Greninja mod that he will upload as a separate, 2-stage character, in the near future.
