Simisear's good Special Attack and Speed, interesting movepool, and offensive typing has solidified its place as the best Fire-type in the tier. This is mostly because of Nasty Plot, which greatly boosts its Special Attack and wallbreaking prowess, and its powerful coverage moves, which allow it to force out many threats and beat typical Fire-type counters. Firium Z in conjunction with Fire Blast allows Simisear to break through defensive behemoths such as Audino. Grass Knot and Grassium Z are required to break through Lanturn, a healthy Poliwrath, and a healthy Regirock, as the former takes a negligible amount of damage from even boosted Grass Knot. Simisear can run many different moves on the last moveslot. Focus Blast hits threats such as Guzzlord, Drampa, and Silvally-Dragon while Substitute and Aguav Berry give it more chances to set up and prevent it from being revenge killed. Finally, Taunt can be used as it allows Simisear to act as stallbreaker.
