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.
It’s protected by its hard sepals, so it plays with bird Pokémon without worry. They peck it relentlessly, but it doesn’t care.
It bounces around, swinging the sepals on its head with abandon. They’re quite painful when they smack you!
