Lycanroc is one of the best offensive
checks to Nasty Plot Simisear. With Simisear lacking any viable means of raising its Speed, Lycanroc can revenge kill it easily with Stone Edge due to its better Speed tier. This makes it near impossible for Simisear to sweep until Lycanroc is removed. Lycanroc can even switch in on it, as it resists its STAB and can live a Grass Knot. For a Simisear to predict it coming in would mean it would have to either risk Focus Blast or commit to using Bloom Doom, if it is even holding Grassium Z.
