Stats & Training
Steenee's stats barely vary. None sit in respectable range with no real gaps. It's a blank slate for EV investment. Worth 2 Speed EVs, 1.06M XP medium-slow curve to max.
The sepals on its head developed to protect its body. These are quite hard, so even if pecked by bird Pokémon, this Pokémon is totally fine.
This Pokémon is always bouncing around energetically. Other Pokémon are attracted by its lively appearance and pleasant aroma.
