Nothing about Tsareena screams competitive powerhouse, and that's fine. Grass means 5 type weaknesses to keep in mind. Known as the Fruit Pokemon. The stat spread favors raw physical power.
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 is proud and aggressive. However, it is said that a Tsareena will instantly become calm if someone touches the crown on its calyx.
This Pokémon launches fierce yet elegant kicks with its long, slender legs. It views Quaquaval as its rival.
Tsareena Weakness
FragileTsareena's Grass typing leaves it vulnerable to Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying, and Bug moves. 4 resistances help offset the weaknesses. 5 weaknesses means you'll want teammates that can handle the coverage gaps.

Step 3Tsareena ✓
We rate Tsareena A-Tier — a strong competitive pick. At 510 BST, it fits the wallbreaker role. Base 120 Attack stands out.
Leaf Guard protects against major status ailments during strong sunlight — that's the one you want on Tsareena. Sweet Veil is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses. Queenly Majesty works too if your team needs something different.
Base 72 Speed is workable — faster than some, slower than many. On offense, Tsareena is leaning toward the physical side (base 120 Attack). Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a wallbreaker.
Tsareena can be found in Scarlet & Violet, Sword & Shield, Sun & Moon, and Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon.
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.
