Steven Stone (Japanese: ツワブキ・ダイゴ Daigo Tsuwabuki) is the Pokémon League Champion in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, and a powerful wandering Trainer in Emerald, having relegated his title to Wallace. He is a master of the Template:Type2, with a Metagross being the cornerstone of his team.
Steven is the son of the president of the Devon Corporation, and he and his father both collect rare stones. Steven makes his home on Mossdeep, and when the Elite Four are beaten in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, he will have left a Beldum and a note for the player.
In the games
His strategy in battle is to use Template:Type2 Pokémon to find the opponent's weakness.
Steven is the Champion of the Hoenn region in Ruby and Sapphire. In Emerald, Wallace replaces him in this role.
In Pokémon Emerald, Steven is a powerful wandering Trainer who gave up competing seriously to spend more time looking for rare rocks and stones. He states he was the Pokémon Champion of Hoenn at some point, but now he spends his life traveling through the region. He claims to be willing to climb waterfalls to find rare stones. With this hint, he can be found and challenged in the upper area of Meteor Falls after defeating the Elite Four.
In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, after the Hoenn Pokémon League is defeated, he offers a Beldum at his house in Mossdeep City.
In Pokémon Platinum, a man whose description is similar to Steven's was the previous owner of the villa in the Resort Area.
He also appears in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. The player will first meet him after they have left the Pokémon Fan Club in Vermilion City after collecting the Copycat's Clefairy Doll, in which he will appear and inform the player that there's reports of either a LatiosWrong template. See Template:Sup/doc. or LatiasWrong template. See Template:Sup/doc. Pokémon roaming Kanto. The next time the player will meet him after beating Red on Mt. Silver, where he will appear in the Silph Co. building in Saffron City and let the player choose one of the Hoenn starter Pokémon. He can later be found in the Pewter Museum of Science, examining a shelf. After visiting and speaking to him there, he will return to the Silph Co. building offering to trade a Beldum for a Forretress.
If the player has the Enigma Stone and enters the Pewter Museum of Science, he will be talking to a researcher. When he is spoken to, he will notice the Enigma Stone and have the researcher examine it. The researcher will extract the Soul Dew from the stone and give it to the player. Steven will tell the player that Soul Dew is said to be the solidified spirits of Latias and Latios, and that it can bring out their true potential. Upon walking outside, LatiasWrong template. See Template:Sup/doc. or LatiosWrong template. See Template:Sup/doc. will be waiting outside to battle, drawn by the Soul Dew.

- After being defeated
- "Congratulations! The feelings you have for your Pokémon... And the Pokémon that responded to those feelings with all their might... They came together as one, and created an even greater power. And thus, you were able to grasp victory today! You are rightfully the Hoenn region's new..."
- "<Player>... No, the new Champion! Come with me." [To Rival] "I'm sorry, but... From here on, only those Trainers who have become Champions may enter. You'll have to wait outside with the Professor."
- "This room... This is where we keep records of Pokémon that prevailed through harsh battles. It is here that the League Champions are honored. Come on, let's record your name as a Trainer who triumphed over the Pokémon League, and the names of the partners who battled with you."

- "You... I had no idea you'd become so strong..."

- "Hi! My name is Steven. The Champion from the Hoenn region. Have we met...before? That's not possible. All the Trainers I have battled seem to have the same look, anyway. Especially the ones who gave me tough battles... By the way, have you heard of a Pokémon called LatiasWrong template. See Template:Sup/doc./LatiosWrong template. See Template:Sup/doc.? I am investigating why LatiasWrong template. See Template:Sup/doc./LatiosWrong template. See Template:Sup/doc., a Pokémon from Hoenn, decided to leave Hoenn to come here. LatiasWrong template. See Template:Sup/doc./LatiosWrong template. See Template:Sup/doc. is a Pokémon that has a lot to do with Soul Dew, a gemlike Orb. Considering the fact that LatiasWrong template. See Template:Sup/doc./LatiosWrong template. See Template:Sup/doc. is now in Kanto, it is possible to assume that this has to do with Soul Dew. LatiasWrong template. See Template:Sup/doc./LatiosWrong template. See Template:Sup/doc. is a Pokémon that travels a great distance. It'd be difficult to find without any machine to track it with. But any Trainer will be drawn to it, won't they? I must go. May our journeys cross again."
- After defeating Red
- "Hello... You're breaking up... I think it depends on how my dad feels... I see... I'll be on my way. See you soon." (Through phone)

- "You have a Pokédex! So you are also in search of Pokémon. Let me see... I think I can help you with that. Let's say that you have stones in front of you. Which color would you pick?"
- "You did a great job naming it!"
- "Take good care of it. Your caring for it will make me very happy."
In the anime
Steven appeared as a character of the day in A Hole Lotta Trouble. He helped Ash, his friends, and Team Rocket escape from an underground cavern.
At the end of the episode, Ash vowed to train harder so one day he could be powerful enough to battle Steven.

Steven Stone's Aron was throughout the episode outside its Poké Ball, when its owner was in Granite Cave looking for stones, it helped out digging at the ground. When Jessie, James and Meowth where setting another pitfall trap for Ash, May, Brock and Max, they also fell down being split up. Aron and its Trainer try to find the source of the crash, they found Max, Meowth and Pikachu, the trio tells Steven what happened. Finding a large hole and where the others were, a group of rampaging Aron head straight towards them which they succeed to dodge them. After sending Team Rocket blasting off, they found a Fire Stone. Aron and Steven said their farewells to the group as they headed off into the distance on a sailing boat.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Steven met Ruby while looking through the Granite Cave. During a battle with wild Mawile, Ruby's Skitty bumped into one of Steven's Moon Stones, causing it to evolve.
Steven was well-aware of the danger Team Magma and Team Aqua presented, and extended an invitation to Ruby to join the fight against them. Steven invited him to help, but Ruby declined because he didn't like battling. The armlets on Steven's arms are devices he can chip away stone with, to grab and retrieve rocks he sees that are out of reach.
Later in the series, Steven confessed that he and his father, the owner of the Devon Corporation, knew about the schemes of Team Magma and Team Aqua quite long ago. Mr. Stone built the Submarine Explorer 1 so that Steven can seal the Seafloor Cavern and no one would be able to wake Kyogre and Groudon. The backup plan in case it fails would be to unseal Regirock, Regice, and Registeel.
Steven later assembles the rest of the Hoenn Elite Four in order to fight against Kyogre and Groudon. With the help of Sapphire's Wailord and Relicanth, Steven and the Elite Four unsealed the Regis. Steven took control of Registeel and gave the other two Regis to the other members of the Elite Four.
Knowing he would die in Kyogre and Groudon's battle, Steven stepped down from the position of Champion, and gave it back to Wallace, who was actually the true Champion while Steven had only been a runner-up. After Kyogre and Groudon returned to their respective domains, Steven apparently died from the strain of controlling the Regis, but was later revived under mysterious circumstances when Ruby released his Celebi.
Steven later traveled to Sinnoh to collect the rare stones found in the region. He had purchased a Villa but sold it to Platinum and returned to Hoenn at the start of the Platinum arc.
Steven uses his Metagross to fly around Hoenn. Its magnetism allows him to float atop it.

Metagross is Steven's main Pokémon and strongest as well. It was first used to stop a group of Mawile from attacking Ruby. It was used again to deal with Mitch's Torkoal and defeated the tortoise Pokémon despite the type disadvantage. Metagross is also used as a method of flight transportation.
Metagross's known moves are Take Down and Meteor Mash.
Released
In the TCG
In the TCG, Steven appears on the card Steven's Advice in the EX Hidden Legends and EX Power Keepers expansions.
Trivia
- In Pokémon Emerald, when the player speaks to him in Meteor Falls before their battle, he makes an error. He talks of their encounter in the Sootopolis City Space Center. The Space Center is actually in Mossdeep City, and this dialog may result from the encounter the player has with him in Sootopolis in Ruby and Sapphire.
- Also, the battle with Steven against Maxie and Tabitha is the only occasion in the Generation III games where the player teams up with an ally for a double battle. Several others are available in the Battle Frontier and multiple times in Generation IV.
- During this tag battle, by hacking the game, it is possible to level up Steven's Pokémon (this would not happen normally, as not enough experience is given to do so).
- In the anime, Steven is the Champion with the least amount of screen time (counting Gary as Blue), appearing in one episode, while everyone else has appeared more than once. He is also the only Champion not to play a significant role in the anime.
- In Pokémon Platinum, the person who gives the player their villa in the Resort Area mentions that the guy who gave him the villa came to Sinnoh to collect rare stones. After collecting the stones, he left the region with all the items in the villa. This mysterious previous owner may in fact be Steven, who himself sold the villa to Platinum in Pokémon Adventures and subsequently appeared in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
- In the anime, Steven is portrayed as having blue-green eyes; however, in Pokémon Adventures he is portrayed as having yellow eyes.
- Steven's role in Emerald is similar to Red's role in Generation II as they are both former champions who can be battled after defeating the Elite Four. The only difference being that Steven can't be re-battled.
- Steven shares his French name (Pierre) with Brock, the Gym Leader of Pewter City. In the French dub of the anime, he keeps his English name of Steven Stone so as to not be confused with Brock.
