Fighting is super effective against Dark
But remember, the Protean ability allows Greninja to change its type to match whatever moves it uses. All Greninja has to do is use Extrasensory and BAM, it's a psychic type which is super effective against Fighting.

Seriously though, in all honesty, I think Greninja is better than Lucario in Ultimate. It has better ground and air speed, better combo game and vastly superior kill confirms. Pro-level Tournament results are further proof of this given how many Greninjas reach top 64 or better as opposed to zero Lucarios that I know of.

Lucario is just a lot more polarizing with his aura ability, while Greninja is more consistent. Lucario gets wrecked in neutral with his lack of range and slow frame data, but hits harder than Ganon and Bowser at max aura+rage. The deal breaker for Lucario was mostly his significant weight nerf coming into Ultimate, now ranking 50th out of 79 fighters, compared to 18th out 55 fighters in Smash4.
