Mallow's Tsareena (Japanese: マオのアマージョ Mao's Amajo) is Mallow's only known Pokémon. She is often seen outside of her Poké Ball.
History
Prior to the series, Mallow met Tsareena as a Bounsweet in the forest behind the Pokémon School.
Tsareena first appeared as a Bounsweet in Alola to New Adventure! alongside her Trainer. Bounsweet accompanied Mallow on her tour of the Pokémon School for Ash and Pikachu, happily sharing her pleasant scent for them to enjoy. She later watched Team Skull battle Kiawe.
In First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!, Bounsweet was attacked by a wild Rowlet, who was attracted to her scent and mistook her for a fruit. Bounsweet quickly responded to the attack, deflecting the Rowlet multiple times with ease before it tired out.
In A Seasoned Search!, Bounsweet helped Ash and Mallow lure in and subsequently follow a wild Oricorio to the Melemele Meadow, so that they could collect the Nectar necessary for the food Mallow was trying to perfect. However, soon after finding the meadow, they were attacked by Team Rocket, who tried to steal the Nectar for themselves. In order to save everyone, Bounsweet attacked Team Rocket and proceeded to evolve into Steenee. This allowed it to recover the stolen Nectar, free Ash and Mallow, and defeat Team Rocket.
In When Regions Collide!, Steenee was used in a battle against Misty's Psyduck alongside Lana's Popplio. Steenee started the battle with Magical Leaf while Popplio quickly followed with Bubble Beam. Psyduck then counterattacked with Water Gun. Popplio then created a water balloon, absorbing the Water Gun, which it then launched at the Duck Pokémon, trapping it inside. Misty commanded Psyduck to use Confusion, but Psyduck didn't respond. Steenee then attacked with another Magical Leaf, breaking the balloon and causing Psyduck land on its head, giving it a headache. This allowed Psyduck to successfully use Confusion, but before it could do anything more to its opponents, Misty told Psyduck to put Popplio and Steenee down, saying that they had had enough.
In Rescuing the Unwilling!, Steenee was among those used to fight Lusamine's Mismagius, Milotic, and Lilligant, which were under Nihilego's control, to allow Ash to save Lusamine. Going up against Milotic, Steenee countered its attack with Double Slap. Lilligant then made her dance with Teeter Dance, but Ash's Litten and Rowlet released her from the dance, joining the fight. In the next episode, Steenee emitted her own Sweet Scent to lure Rowlet back to her. She then launched Rowlet into the air with her Double Slap, and asked Mallow to throw her up as well. Steenee kicked Rowlet back towards the ground, and, combined with Rowlet's high-speed Peck attack, they used a move Lana dubbed "Rowlaunch" on Lilligant. The attack angered Lilligant, causing it to charge up its Solar Beam attack, but Litten interrupted the move with Fire Fang. Although Lilligant appeared to have been defeated by this move, Nihilego made it get back up and continue battling. The battle ended when Ash and Pikachu performed 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt to defeat Nihilego.
In SM082, in preparation for the PokéDance class set up by Professor Kukui, Steenee was taught a dance called the "Alola Hula" by Moani's Oricorio. When the day of the dance class finally came, Steenee stepped away from the others to do some last-minute practice. Due to this, she failed to notice how all the humans the rest of the Pokémon present stepped into what turned out to be a pair of cage traps set up by Team Rocket. Noticing that Steenee was still free, Team Rocket fired a net at her, binding her arms and sepals. When Meowth accidentally revealed that the cages have a weak point at the top, Mallow told Steenee to attack it. With her sepals and hands binded by the net, Steenee had to resort to using her feet in order to attack the weak point. While doing this, Steenee unexpectedly learned Stomp, which immediately triggered her evolution into Tsareena. After evolving, Tsareena demonstrated her increased leg strength by using Trop Kick on Meowth and breaking the cages open with ease. After Team Rocket had been carried away by Bewear, Mallow happily greeted her newly evolved partner, who proceeded to perform a new, enhanced version of "Rowlauch" with Rowlet.
Personality and characteristics
Tsareena is a friendly Pokémon, happily interacting with people and Pokémon. She is not easily discouraged, staying positive even after Lillie was frightened by her attempts to play with her. She has a strong relationship with her Trainer. As a Bounsweet, she was normally seen resting on Mallow's shoulder. Tsareena also likes to help Mallow out at her family's restaurant, serving food to customers as the restaurant's poster Pokémon. In addition, she loves flowers, as shown in The Ol' Raise and Switch. According to Mallow, she likes floral-patterned Poké Beans.
Tsareena is shown to be very agile. As a Bounsweet, she often used her quick reflexes to deflect Rowlet as it flew toward her. However, after evolving for the first time, she started displaying this trait much less often, due to no longer needing to worry about being consumed by other Pokémon. After evolving again, Tsareena also gained great kicking strength, as well as a more proud, ladylike personality, although she still remains friendly towards Mallow.
