@Neosonic I think you're overestimateing Greninja's Protean, I also don't think you understand when I used the term Glass Cannon.

It doesn't matter if Greninja's Protean would help it resists Fighting type moves, the problem is that Greninja is still somewhat frail when a poor defense that's lower than Chesnaught's. Even if heavy physical attacks wouldn't be enough to OHKO Greninja, just remember that Chesnaught has supportive moves like Bulk Up or Belly Drum to back itself for a OHKO.

Chesnaught's Special Defense is decent at best but I'm certain it can still handle at least one Extrasensory while Greninja's Defense doesn't really cut out for Chesnaught physical attacks.
