Greninjas counters are Priority moves and Choice Scarfed Pokemon! I would say talon flame would be a good job for this but smogon banned it too lol. The point I'm trying to make is when you constantly ban Pokemon that are not legendary [low base stats] it creates a domino effect and now you have to start banning everything because with each ban you make, you eliminate some other Pokemons counter. Its hard to make a good team that can take on the meta, but its much easier for smogon to just ban the threats
Primal Kyogre is a legend with a base stat of 770! Kyogre WILL NOT go down in one hit, even if its a super effective one so its hard for that to relate that to a Greninja ban. Thats 350 More base stat points than Greninja... that makes a huge difference. mega evolutions that make Pokemon much stronger are only increases of 100 base stats and you see how much that increases a Pokemons strength
edit: yet again no disrespect to smogon or those who play it
