In First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!, Bounsweet was attacked by a , 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 itself out.
In A Seasoned Search!, Bounsweet helped Ash and Mallow lure in and subsequently follow a wild to a hidden meadow, so that they could collect the Yellow Nectar necessary for the food Mallow was trying to perfect. However, soon after finding the meadow, they were attacked by , who tried to steal the Nectar for themselves. To save everyone, Bounsweet attacked Team Rocket and evolved into .

Misty commanded Psyduck to use , 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 use Confusion successfully, but before it could do anything more to its opponents, told Psyduck to put Popplio and Steenee down, saying they had had enough.

In the next episode, Steenee emitted her 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. Steenee kicked Rowlet back towards the ground, and, combined with Rowlet's high-speed attack, they used a move Lana dubbed "Rowlaunch" on Lilligant. The attack angered Lilligant, causing it to charge up its attack, but Litten interrupted the move with . 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 to defeat Nihilego.
In All They Want to Do is Dance Dance!, in preparation for the PokéDance class set up by , Steenee was taught a dance called the "Alola Hula" by Anela'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 and 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 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 to attack the weak point. While doing this, Steenee unexpectedly learned , which immediately triggered her evolution into . After evolving, Tsareena demonstrated her increased leg strength by using on Meowth and easily breaking the cages open. After Team Rocket had been carried away by , Mallow happily greeted her newly evolved partner, who proceeded to perform a new, enhanced version of "Rowlauch" with Rowlet.

After she took damage from Primarina's supereffective , Mallow attempted to recall her and forfeit the match to save her from further harm. Still, Tsareena refused to go back into her . Lana told Mallow that Tsareena wanted to keep on fighting by her side, reminding Mallow of the times she had shared with her partner, and decided to respect her wish to continue battling. With their connection stronger than ever before, Mallow and Tsareena were able to execute a successful . However, Lana countered this by having Primarina use , with the two Z-Moves canceling each other out. Tsareena was defeated by an from Primarina, ending Mallow's run in the Manalo Conference.

====Personality and characteristics====
Tsareena is a friendly , happily interacting with people and other Pokémon. She is not easily discouraged, staying positive even after was frightened by her attempts to play with her. She has a strong relationship with her . 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 the events before Drawn with the Wind!, Tsareena even volunteered to stay behind with Abe to help in the kitchen while Mallow took to go sightseeing overnight in Malie City with her classmates. In addition, she loves flowers, as shown in The Ol' Raise and Switch. According to Mallow, she likes floral-patterned Poké Beans. In That's Some Spicy Island Research!, Tsareena was revealed to like the taste of Poni Island radishes.
Tsareena is a very agile Pokémon. As a Bounsweet, she often used her quick reflexes to deflect whenever 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 and a more proud and mature personality, although she still remains friendly and respectful towards Mallow. Her maturity has been shown by her willingness to take action to help out people such as stomping on in The Long Vault Home!, to snap him out of his state of fear after seeing the inside of a and by kicking away a that was about to attack Mallow in The One That Didn't Get Away!. Despite her maturity, she tends to lose her temper when she doesn't manage to succeed in a given task, as displayed in Living on the Cutting Edge!, where she kept stomping on a after failing to cut it with her . Her willingness to not give up is a positive aspect of her character, as seen in Battling Besties!, where she refused to go back to her , due to wanting to continue fighting alongside Mallow.
Tsareena also enjoys relaxing, like in I Choose Paradise!, where, while most of the Pokémon were playing in the pool, she relaxed on a sun lounger at the Pokémon Paradise Resort. In Memories in the Mist!, Mallow mentioned during a flashback that she saw her Tsareena, who was a Bounsweet at the time, as her little sister. In turn, Tsareena appears to care for like a big sister, as mentioned by Mallow in a flashback in Drawn with the Wind!.
