We check every game where a shiny is possible, then rank each one by the best method available in that game, so the row at the top is the fastest route overall.
Odds marked verified are cross-checked against multiple independent sources before we publish them. Where a rate is not yet confirmed we mark the row pending rather than guess a number.

Base Stats
Attack and Defense carry most of Tsareena's stat budget. Sp. Atk's the obvious dump stat. Tough to catch and yields 3 Attack EVs. Follows a 1.06M XP medium-slow curve.
This Pokémon launches fierce yet elegant kicks with its long, slender legs. It views Quaquaval as its rival.
Tsareena Guide
Use Tsareena as a wallbreaker. Physical side carries the damage. Speed is middling,
Build your team around Greninja, Sandy Shocks, and Yanmega. These have the highest co-usage rates with Tsareena in competitive formats. They cover each other's weaknesses.
Sweet Veil is the hidden ability. Prevents friendly Pokémon from sleeping. Not always the best choice. Compare it to Tsareena's regular abilities before committing.
Run Adamant on Tsareena. +Attack is what matters, and the -Sp. Atk cut doesn't hurt this set. Fits the wallbreaker role.
Game Availability
Tsareena joined the series in Sun & Moon and has been available in 4 titles so far. With 3 generations of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
