I agree with Far, except I would run it this way

Greninja - Poison barb
- Acrobatics
- Fling
- Waterfall
- Night slash

Fling is a great move and with the Poison barb you get a base 80 power move that poisons your foe. This means you can then abuse acrobatics for double power. Most people will likely switch to something fast or there special wall when Greninja comes in, so its useful to be able to poison it and start slapping it about with stab acrobatics.

Ah! They're both great sets... I have fallen for spikes with Manectric, and have literally fallen due to Shadow Sneak when using scrafty xD

I like Aurath's idea of fling, as it uses the item and one could either use a white herb (Greninja used Dig! xD) or a toxic/flame orb... But U-Turn and Shadow Sneak are tempting.... Ah, but if my main attack is Acrobatics, I'd want a water type move for the coverage... Hmm. Thanks, guys! I'll use trial and error to see which fits my team best.

I am so not using Greninja for the Starters Tournament

Greninja also is fun in a sandstorm with rock slide! Acrobatics is a must, as is U-turn.

Also really liking that fling option, especially with a Flame Orb... Not enough reliable burn options in the game.
