Personally, Greninja is better off dealing as much damage as possible and netting quick KOs. The reason I'd don't using Mat Block is that its only one time use and doesn't protect Greninja from priority or faster threats. While I haven't played VGC 16 in months, its probably best to run something with Ice Beam for Dragons, Low Kick for the Obvious Kangaskhan / Steel-types, and maybe Gunk Shot for Xerneas, which is exactly what soon above, well inadvertently. Grass Knot is OK except it won't OHKO Primal Kyogre given the massive special defense. Given how hyper offensive VGC 16 is, Greninja is better off getting surprise KOs, instead going for a support roles. Pokemon like Crobat, Smeargle, Thundurus, and even Talonflame are better off in similar roles.
