Steenee isn't fully evolved, so it's not built for competitive play. You'll want to evolve it into Tsareena to unlock its full potential. At 290 BST, it's a stepping stone rather than a team anchor.
Leaf Guard is the go-to ability for Steenee. It protects against major status ailments during strong sunlight. Its hidden ability Sweet Veil can work in specific setups. Oblivious is the other option — pick based on what your team needs.
Steenee fills the balanced role. It's leaning toward the physical side (base 40 Attack). At base 62 Speed, it won't be moving first often. And it's fragile — can't afford to take many hits.
Steenee can be found in Scarlet & Violet, Sword & Shield, Sun & Moon, and Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon.
Introduced in Sun & Moon, Steenee has appeared in 4 games across 3 generations. Later debuts mean fewer total appearances, but it's been a consistent presence since its introduction.
