Greninja you can get away with and mixed set[ both physical and special attacks]. because protein makes it so versatile so I would run a Greninja like this.

Greninja @ Life Orb
Ability: Protean
EVs: 156 Atk / 252 SpA / 100 Spe
Mild Nature
- Scald
- Gunk Shot
- Dark Pulse
- Ice Beam
Combine the last Ev points
Between attack and speed. and give it mild to boost your special attack which is your main attack. and Greninja doesn't live much anyways so it can bear losing defense. and give it scald
To try to get a burn.

pheromosa on the other hand is not a great mixed attacker. so if you want special do this

Pheromosa @ Focus Sash
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 252 HP / 2 Def / 252 SpA / 2 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Quiver Dance
- Bug Buzz
- Ice Beam
- Focus Blast

put max ev points in special attack even though pheromosas defense has no chance there's really no need for speed. because at plus one it pretty much out speeds everything. correct me if I'm wrong but I've always thought physical pheromosa is better.

there's a couple thangs you can do but I've always found this one to be best.

Pheromosa @ Focus Sash
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- High Jump Kick
- Lunge
- Poison Jab
- Outrage

probably everything about this looks standard except for outrage. it's only really there for a Salamence and Dragonite. the only other physical move that I find pretty good is drill run. but it's stab pretty much makes up for what drill run hit super effective. other than poison but poison jab for fairy. high jump kick and lunge for stab.
Hope I helped and just so you know I changed my nickname so I used to be badrat if you didn't know.

Lunge and Outrage on Pheromosa? "Pheromosa isn't a great mixed attacked"? Scald on Greninja? I'm a bit skeptical on some stuff. Quiver Dance Pheromosa isn't viable I'm afraid.
Ice beam covers Dragonite and Salamence 1,000% better than Outrage
I up voted though. I appreciate the effort you took to answer this and the time you put in
Yeah you can go to the most common moves on Pokemon Showdown for Greninja I get this isn't Showdown but I'll tell you what moves most people use in  competitive battle I think there's more scald than hydro pump and what's wrong with lunge pheromosa
That Bug Buzz is 100x better
It's really not pheromosa has a lot better physical moveset anyways  pheromosas attack stats are not high enough to be as versatile as you want them to be and I gave you the special option anyways because it didn't get a lot of,special moves itc an use so quiver dance is the only thing I could give it and with Focus sash it makes it pretty good
137 attacking stats isn't good and needs boosting? Are we talking about the same pokemon?
But 95/103 and Protean is OK for mixed?
252 HP on Pheromosa with a Focus Sash? Mild on Greninja because "he can't live much" but give Scald for the burn chance? I'm sorry but your sets completely conflict with each other
Any sweeper with more than 100 base Speed needs to have its Spe investment maxed. Speed is a really sensitive stat; with the other stats, throwing in 4 extra EVs will never really do anything noticeable, but for Speed, 1 extra point very often can be the difference between you OKHOing your opponent, and them OHKOing/revenging you, especially on a Pokemon as frail as Greninja.
At the very least, put more investment than just 100 EVs with a speed-neutral nature. This thing gets outsped by literally every Landorus.
Both Greninja and Pheromosa definitely need max speed, and Greninja is often still too slow and is given a choice scarf. And if you really read the Showdown! usage stats, then you would have found that water shuriken was more common than either scald or hydro pump. If you don't want to spend time looking for it, then here it is. https://www.smogon.com/stats/2018-04/moveset/gen7battlespotsingles-1760.txt
U-turn is better on Pheromosa than lunge or bug buzz are, because it reduces the need to predict switches. Pheromosa does need ice beam to cover flying, even if it's a physical attacker. Its best physical coverage move would be drill run, which is often better than poison jab because it can cover fire, poison, and steel.
Also 2 defense and 2 special defense EVs on Pheromosa in LITERALLY impossible. Like you can't do it except on showdown!
It's not impossible. Just make the Pheromosa defeat two Sandshrews and two Venonats. It's just that 2 EVs are useless.
