Bounsweet (Japanese: アマカジ Amakaji) is a Grass-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.

It evolves into Steenee starting at level 18, which evolves into Tsareena when leveled up while knowing Stomp.

Biology

Bounsweet is a small Pokémon resembling a mangosteen. Most of its body is pinkish-purple with a short, white skirt around its waist, which resembles the flesh of a mangosteen when it is cut open. It has beady yellow eyes and two tiny legs. On top of its head is a green calyx. This structure consists of four leafy green formations and a short stem.

This Pokémon exudes a delicious smell from its entire body, which has made it popular with people of the Alola region. This scent has a calming effect on people, so they are often used as living air fresheners. However, its sweet scent has also caused it to be swallowed whole or collected by other Pokémon, especially Toucannon and Greedent. It is too sweet for human consumption, but its sweat can be used to make a juice. Bounsweet was highly valued by humans in the past in a time when sweets were rare.

While fleeing danger, Bounsweet skips along in a way that does not convey its desperation. As a result, no one ever comes to help it. It has been known to drive away enemies by rotating its calyx, but it becomes dizzy afterward.

Evolution

Bounsweet evolves into Steenee, which evolves into Tsareena.

This Pokémon was unavailable prior to Generation VII.
Generation VII Alola SM: #171 Alola USUM: #207 Kanto #— This Pokémon has no Pokédex entries in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!‎. Sun A delectable aroma pours from its body. They are often swallowed whole by Toucannon lured by that wafting deliciousness. Moon Although it's too sugary for human consumption, Bounsweet's sweat can be watered down into a juice with just the right amount of sweetness. Ultra Sun Because of its sweet, delicious aroma, bird Pokémon are always after it, but it's not intelligent enough to care. Ultra Moon It tries to resist being swallowed by a bird Pokémon by spinning the sepals on its head. It's usually a fruitless attempt.
Generation VIII Galar #052 Sinnoh #— Hisui #— This Pokémon has no Pokédex entries in Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl, and Legends: Arceus. Sword Its body gives off a sweet, fruity scent that is extremely appetizing to bird Pokémon. Shield When under attack, it secretes a sweet and delicious sweat. The scent only calls more enemies to it.
Generation IX Paldea #81 Kitakami #— Scarlet Its sweat is sweet, like syrup made from boiled-down fruit. Because of this, Bounsweet was highly valued in the past, when sweeteners were scarce. Violet A Greedent drawn in by the sweet scent of these Pokémon will tuck the Bounsweet in among the berries in its tail and carry them all away.
