Steven is the boss-NPC incarnation of Steven —the Elite Four Champion (Hoenn).

Boss rework 2019

Steven was part of the Boss rework in 2019 and was updated at the 16th September 2019. The boss rework was issued and is still ongoing to improve the boss NPC's in general. All reworked bosses are coded in Python and not in Xanascript anymore, which gives new opportunities. Reworked bosses can now have held items as well. One of the biggest benefits is, that the Python script sees when if the server crashed in order to not count a lose in case the player fought against the boss while the server crashed. In such a case the player can simply re-fight the boss.

The boss rework implies a challenge for players on any experience level who do enjoy doing bosses because of the three difficulty level every not story related boss has, which ensures that bosses are challengeable for newer players and also be a challenge for those who have a high Pokémon knowledge. Boss teams are decisively reworked and only contain level 100 Pokémon. EVs and hold items do vary among other things - also depending on the difficulty level.

• Easy: bosses have no EVs and no hold items; as well as a weakened moveset. Consecutive win rewards are also not available.
• Medium: bosses have 252 EVs in each stat and hold items.
• Hard: bosses have 400 EVs in each stat and hold items. Furthermore, the player is not allowed to use in-battle items such as Revives.

Challenging Lance

Steven is located in the far North Cave of Valley of Steel. He will challenge the player given that he or she has completed the Hoenn Elite Four. After the battle, he will have a cooldown time of 12 days.
