Gen 5 Simisage [QC 1/1] [GP 1/1] [DONE]

[Akir]

[OVERVIEW]

Simisage is an odd wallbreaker due to its mediocre STAB options but powerful and near-perfect coverage options. Combine this great coverage with Simisage's great Speed and an excellent mixed wallbreaker is born. However, Simisage's choice between weak or unreliable STAB options mixed with the fact that some walls like Bronzor wall Simisage regardless means that Simisage's performance can sometimes come up short.

[SET]
name: Mixed Wallbreaker
move 1: Leaf Storm / Giga Drain
move 2: Superpower
move 3: Acrobatics
move 4: Taunt
item: Flying Gem
ability: Overgrow
nature: Naive
evs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]
Leaf Storm is extremely powerful even without much Special Attack investment, but Giga Drain is also an option if you want a more spammable STAB option that also heals at the cost of a lot of power. Superpower hits Steel-types like Klang super effectively while also hitting specially defensive walls like Audino, Scraggy, and Zweilous for more damage than Leaf Storm can. Acrobatics hits Grass-types like Vileplume that resist the other two moves and gets an additional bonus from Flying Gem. The last move is filler, as the other three moves achieve near-perfect coverage, but Taunt shuts down walls like Bronzor and Audino from using their healing and status moves.

Simisage is excellent for breaking through walls like Zweilous and Vileplume, so sweepers like Swanna and Shiftry that are walled by these two love having it around. Simisage does have problems breaking through Bronzor and therefore invites it in a lot, so partners like Scraggy and Monferno that can deal with Bronzor and use it as setup fodder also make for good choices. Simisage also invites in a lot of Fire- and Flying-types, such as Rapidash and Dodrio, so Pokemon like Frillish, Stunfisk, and Klang make for great teammates for Simisage to pivot to.

[OVERVIEW]

Simisage is an odd wallbreaker due to its mediocre STAB but powerful and near-perfect coverage options (mention what this coverage enables it to hit, like Monferno or Klang or something.) . Combine this great coverage with Simisage's great Speed and an excellent mixed wallbreaker is born. However, Simisage's choice between weak or unreliable STAB options mixed with the fact that some walls like Bronzor wall Simisage regardless means that Simisage's performance can sometimes come up short.

Leaf Storm is the preferred STAB option as it is extremely powerful even without much EV investment, but Giga Drain is also an option if you want a more spammable STAB option that also heals at the cost of almost half of its damage alot of power. Superpower is the first coverage option and hits Steel-types like Klang super-effectively while also hitting specially-defensive walls like Audino, Scraggy, and Zweilous for more than Leaf Storm can. Acrobatics is for hitting Grass-types like Vileplume that resist the other two moves, and get an additional bonus works well (making this transition easier into the ending of the sentence.) from Flying Gem. The last move is filler, as the other three moves achieve near-perfect coverage, but Taunt is good for shutting down walls (cite examples please!) from their healing and status moves.

Simisage is excellent for breaking through walls like Zweilous and Vileplume, so sweepers like walled by these two like Swanna or Shiftry love having Simisage around. Simisage does have problems breaking through Bronzor and therefore invites it in a lot, so partners like Scraggy or Monferno who can deal with (and use it as setup bait.) also make for good choices. Simiage also invites in a lot of Fire- and Flying-types (once again site examples here) due to its weaknesses, so Pokemon like Frillish, Stunfisk, or Klang make for great teammates for being good options for Simisage to pivot to. Klang in particular is a good partner as it also provides a slow Volt Switch to safely bring in Simisage. (Perhaps mention other slow pivots too like Fisk)

[OVERVIEW]

Simisage is an odd wallbreaker due to its mediocre STAB options STAB should not be used as a noun. I'm assuming that you're referring to the options here, given you discuss them later but powerful and near-perfect coverage options. Combine this great coverage with Simisage's great Speed and an excellent mixed wallbreaker is born. However, Simisage's its choice between either weak or unreliable STAB options, (AC) combined mixed mixed is not a synonym for combined with the fact that some walls like Bronzor wall Simisage regardless, (AC) means that Simisage's its performance can sometimes come up short.

Leaf Storm is the preferred STAB option as it is fluff extremely powerful even without much EV investment, but Giga Drain is also an option if you want a more spammable STAB option that also heals at the cost of a lot of power. Superpower is the first coverage option and hits Steel-types like Klang super- effectively while also hitting specially- defensive walls like Audino, Scraggy, and Zweilous for more than Leaf Storm can. Acrobatics is for hitting hits simplified Grass-types like Vileplume that resist the other two moves, (RC) and get gets an additional bonus from Flying Gem. The last move is filler, as the other three moves achieve near-perfect coverage, but Taunt is good for shutting shuts down walls like Bronzor or and Audino from using their healing and status moves.

Leaf Storm is the preferred STAB option as it is fluff (this would typically be fine to keep, but the reference to "STAB option" later in the sentence makes it unnecessary) extremely powerful even without much EV Special Attack investment, but Giga Drain is also an option if you want a more spammable STAB option that also heals at the cost of a lot of power. Superpower is the first coverage option and hits Steel-types like Klang super- effectively (make sure to remove the hyphen here) while also hitting specially- defensive (and here as well) walls like Audino, Scraggy, and Zweilous for more damage than Leaf Storm can. Acrobatics is for hitting hits simplified Grass-types like Vileplume that resist the other two moves, (RC) and get gets an additional bonus from Flying Gem. The last move is filler, as the other three moves achieve near-perfect coverage, but Taunt is good for shutting shuts down walls like Bronzor or and Audino from using their healing and status moves.
