Simisage Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Simisage works as a pivot with 498 BST behind it. C-Tier on our list: a niche pick in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon's meta. Seedbomb with Nothing is the standard set.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Simisage's biggest threats include Blaziken (Fire), Weavile (Ice), and Crobat (Poison), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Flying and Bug-type attackers are also a problem. With 5 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter. Simisage's base 101 Speed lets it outpace many threats and strike first, which matters more than trying to tank hits.
Gluttony is the go-to ability for Simisage. It makes the Pokémon eat any held Berry triggered by low HP below 1/2 its max HP. Its hidden ability Overgrow can work in specific setups.
Simisage is a mixed attacker with base 98 Attack and 98 Sp. Atk. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 101 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. Fits the pivot role.
For Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, the core moveset is Seedbomb, Gunkshot, Nasty Plot, and Leaf Storm. Seedbomb leads at 0% usage. This set covers the pivot role with a mix of damage and utility.
Game Availability
