Lore

Biology

Bounsweet is 0.3 m tall and weighs 3.2 kg. It is a small fuchsia fruit with a short white base, small round yellow eyes and a pair of tiny legs. A green calyx sits on its head, made of four leafy sections around a short stem. Its whole body gives off a sweet scent, and Bulbapedia says the scent is calming, so people in Alola keep it as a living air freshener.

Behaviour

When Bounsweet is attacked, the scent it gives off only calls more enemies, says the Shield entry. Bulbapedia says its fleeing looks more like a cheerful skip than a desperate escape, so nobody ever comes to help. It can spin its calyx to drive enemies off, though Bulbapedia says it gets dizzy afterwards and the Pokédex calls the attempt usually fruitless.

Habitat

The Pokédex gives no habitat. It lives in forests: Alola's Lush Jungle, parts of Galar's Wild Area, and Paldea's South and East Provinces, where Serebii says it can be found in trees.

Powers

Leaf Guard stops status conditions in harsh sunlight, Oblivious prevents infatuation, and its hidden Ability Sweet Veil stops it and its allies falling asleep. It learns Rapid Spin, Razor Leaf and Magical Leaf, and reaches Aromatic Mist at level 32. Its base stats are very low, so it is a Pokémon to train up rather than to battle with.

Name origin

Bounsweet may combine bounce and sweet. The Japanese name is Amakaji (アマカジ), which may blend amai (sweet), kajitsu (fruit) and ji (child).

Design inspiration

Bounsweet may take after the purple mangosteen, a tropical fruit with white flesh when cut open.

Evolution notes

Evolves into Steenee at level 18.

In the games

Bounsweet is a forest Pokémon, met in Alola's Lush Jungle in Sun and Moon, where it first appeared. It returns in Sword and Shield and in Scarlet and Violet, including 1-star Tera Raids, but it is not available in Legends: Z-A.

In the anime

Mallow's Bounsweet debuted in 'Alola to New Adventure!'. Mallow has had it since she was a child, and as her only Pokémon it was often seen outside its Poké Ball.
