Introduced in Generation VI, Froakie is a Water-type Pocket Monster that is one of three Kalos starter Pokemon, along with Chespin and Fennekin. Based on the physical characteristics of a frog, Froakie quickly became a fan favorite.
In Pokemon GO, Froakie can evolve into Frogadier with the help of 25 Froakie Candy and then into Greninja with the help of 100 more Froakie Candy. The attacking prowess and effectiveness of the last form make Froakie a highly desired Pocket Monster in the game.
