A Destiny 2 player has impressively recreated the amphibious Pokemon Greninja using a clever armor setup, capturing the character’s essence with remarkable accuracy. The sci-fi FPS’s custom fashion scene has long been a vibrant space where players craft unique looks, often inspired by characters from other games and pop culture. Bungie also fuels this creativity by releasing official collaboration cosmetics for franchises like Star Wars, The Witcher, and Assassin’s Creed. While Destiny 2 has never had an official Pokemon crossover, one player took the initiative to bring Greninja to life in the game.
The original Destiny launched in 2014 and quickly became a massive success, setting the record for the biggest new IP debut at the time. Its sequel, Destiny 2, built on that momentum, reaching over 1.2 million concurrent players shortly after it hit screens. Recently, Destiny 2’s player count has declined after seeing a surge near the launch of its latest DLC, The Final Shape. However, such ups and downs are common for the game, which has remained consistently popular since its debut, especially within its vibrant fashion scene.

The player uses the Hunter class, the most popular in D2, to craft the armor setup that closely replicates Greninja. Destiny 2 offers a wide variety of Hunter armor to help players craft strong builds for a tactical edge. In this case, the player used the Astral Stasis Drake Hunter Cowl for the head and the Mantle of Duty Legendary Shader to match the color, recreating Greninja’s distinct look.

Greninja is a strong card to build a deck around in the Pokemon TCG, especially with its Water Shuriken ability, which allows it to deal damage to opponents’ benched Pokemon.
According to leaks, Greninja is set to appear in the highly anticipated Pokemon Legends: Z-A and is expected to receive a Mega Evolution in the upcoming game, which is slated for release later this year. However, this has yet to be officially confirmed. In the meantime, fans can enjoy the creative homage to Greninja in Destiny 2.
