Simisear Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide
For Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, we rate Simisear C-Tier: a niche pick in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire's meta. At 498 BST, it fits the pivot role. Fire Blast with Life Orb is the standard set.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Simisear's biggest threats include Swampert (Water), Landorus (Ground), and Aerodactyl (Rock), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Simisear'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 Simisear. It makes the Pokémon eat any held Berry triggered by low HP below 1/2 its max HP. Its hidden ability Blaze can work in specific setups.
Base 101 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. On offense, Simisear is a mixed attacker with base 98 Attack and 98 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a pivot.
For Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, the core moveset is Fire Blast, Flamethrower, Focus Blast, and Grassknot. Fire Blast leads at 0% usage. Flamethrower provides reliable STAB damage.
