Stats & Training
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 feared Pokémon has long, slender legs and a cruel heart. It shows no mercy as it stomps on its opponents.
A kick from the hardened tips of this Pokémon’s legs leaves a wound in the opponent’s body and soul that will never heal.
Tsareena Weakness
Tsareena's Grass typing leaves it vulnerable to Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying, and Bug. 4 resistances help offset the weaknesses. 5 weaknesses means you'll want teammates that can handle the coverage gaps.
