Simisage

Simisage registers a 0.13% usage rate and ranks 156th in singles, putting it firmly on the fringe. The configuration is highly uniform: 93.4% of sets carry Focus Sash and the Naive spread invests 32 EVs each into SpA and Spe, leveraging 101 base Speed to outpace most mid-tier attackers. After Nasty Plot, Leaf Storm and Focus Blast provide the OHKO punch. Overgrow sharpens its Grass STAB in low-HP scenarios, but the Sash-and-speed framing makes this a fragile glass cannon that must connect first and finish, rather than a wall that absorbs hits.

Playstyle：The 93.4% Focus Sash and 92.7% Naive 0/2/0/32/0/32 spread frame a Speed-creep Nasty Plot strategy. Leaf Storm at 23.3% targets Steel and Water, Focus Blast at 23.0% answers Dark and Normal switch-ins, and Taunt at 23.2% shuts down opposing utility. Giga Drain (1.7%) and Energy Ball (1.6%) are fringe picks, confirming that Simisage does not aim for sustained recovery; instead, it commits to a full-HP Leaf Storm nuke and accepts the self-damage from Overgrow as a one-shot cost.

Doubles usage sits at 0.03% and rank 230, putting Simisage in effectively unused territory. The doubles configuration diverges sharply from singles: 59.9% run Jolly 1/32/1/0/0/32, maxing both Attack and Speed, which positions it as a Fake Out user rather than a Nasty Plot sweeper. Focus Sash at 92.1% and Overgrow at 99.1% are near-universal, reinforcing that it functions as a fragile priority disruptor, not a Grass-type wallbreaker.

Playstyle：Fake Out at 25.0% opens the match by flinching one target, after which Seed Bomb (20.5%) and Low Kick (14.3%) handle weakened or bulky foes. Rock Slide at 16.0% delivers spread damage across the field, while Protect at 8.2% blocks opposing priority or secures a survival turn. Item distribution remains dominated by Focus Sash at 92.1%, with Expert Belt at 4.1%, Sitrus Berry at 1.2%, and Life Orb at 1.1% — all of which confirm that securing the first turn of disruption outweighs sustained offense.
