Steenee sits in the middle of its evolution line — stronger than Bounsweet but not yet at full power. Most trainers push through to Tsareena as fast as possible. 5 type weaknesses to keep in mind. Known as the Fruit Pokemon.

Steenee's stats barely vary. 0 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.

Ultra Sun

It bounces around, swinging the sepals on its head with abandon. They’re quite painful when they smack you!

Steenee is partway through a three-stage line between Bounsweet and Tsareena. The chain involves knowing a specific move, so it's not a straightforward grind. Speed has grown the most so far (+30), but there's still another 220 stats to gain in the final evolution.

Try selecting a different game/generation filter, or check back later.

The egg pool carries weight here. Acupressure and Charm aren't available any other way for Steenee, and they meaningfully change what it threatens. Stack those on top of Leaf Storm and Solar Beam for solid options.

    or evolve from Bounsweet (Step 1)

  • 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.

  • Steenee's biggest threats include Blaziken (Fire), Weavile (Ice), and Crobat (Poison), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Flying and Bug-type attackers are also a problem. With 5 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter.

  • Bounsweet evolves into Steenee at level 18. Steenee evolves into Tsareena after learning Stomp. Steenee is a middle-stage evolution in the Bounsweet line.

  • 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.
