Strategy Overview

Simisage is an odd wallbreaker due to its mediocre STAB options but powerful and near-perfect coverage options. Combine this great coverage with Simisage's great Speed and an excellent mixed wallbreaker is born. However, Simisage's choice between weak or unreliable STAB options mixed with the fact that some walls like Bronzor wall Simisage regardless means that Simisage's performance can sometimes come up short.
