Politoed @ Salac Berry
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Substitute
- Endeavor
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam

It's basically Simipour's old SubEndeavor set, but for Politoed. While it isn't as fast or has the attacking power of the water monkey, much less an ability in Torrent, Politoed can still hold its own with this set thanks to Water Absorb helping it set up another Substitute if need be. Timid nature is needed, or else you are outsped by Zebstrika without a Speed boosting nature. Hydro Pump and Ice Beam provide solid coverage in the tier, while Endeavor is used to wear down bulkier targets such as Pelipper, Lickilicky, and Grumpig. 8 EVs in HP could be used instead to make Politoed get down to 1 HP and then Endeavor. Nothing real special with this set

Simisage @ Salac Berry
Ability: Gluttony
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Nasty Plot
- Giga Drain
- Focus Blast
- Hidden Power [Ice]
OK basically there surprisingly isn't much innovation that can be done for simisage depsite its great movepool, but looks fun. NP simisage has a big flaw, its speed. This means that it is easily revenge killed by mons like jumpluff and zebstrika, however this set prevents that. The goal is to set up a nasty plot on something that will take you down to a bit less than half, so you activate your salac berry and sweep. SubSalac + Overgrow may seem appealing, but grass + fighting coverage is pretty limited so that needs more support. Obviously this works better in theory than in practise, as simisage forces a lot out, but if it works then simisage shouldn't have a hard time sweeping.

Simisage @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Overgrow
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Seed Bomb
- Knock Off
- Gunk Shot
- Superpower

Simisage is a potent wallbreaker, but it sucks that its Speed holds it back somewhat. Choice Scarf can remedy that making it outspeed threats that would normally handle it such as Jumpluff. Everything else is standard with Seed Bomb for STAB, Knock Off for item removal, Gunk Shot for fairies and mainly Jumpluff, and Superpower for Probopass and other Steel- and Rock-types.
