Why is Cyndaquil not in legends Za?

Cyndaquil isn't in Pokémon Legends: Z-A primarily because it was a starter in the previous game, Legends: Arceus, and developers likely wanted to feature different Pokémon and avoid repetition, giving other starters like Chikorita and Totodile (Johto) and Tepig (Unova) their moment in the spotlight for the new Kalos-based adventure. The Legends series often rotates starters, and Cyndaquil (and its evolved forms) had already been featured heavily in Arceus.

Ash-Greninja (Battle Bond Greninja) was banned from competitive Pokémon formats like VGC and Smogon's OU tier primarily because its Battle Bond ability made it overpowered, acting like a free Mega Evolution without needing an item, significantly boosting its stats and power after knocking out a Pokémon.
