Physical Sweeper Simisage (Gluttony)
Simisage is an astounding Physical Sweeper. It is designed to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. White Herb will reset Simisage's negative stat changes once (specifically for when it uses Superpower). Focus Sash helps protect Simisage from being one-shotted and allowing it to atleast use a crucial move when brought out. Life Orb boosts the power of Simisage's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. With Gluttony, when Simisage has 1/2 or less of its maximum hp it uses certain berries early.
♦ Superpower is a physical 120-base power Fighting-type move (lowers your Simisage's attack and defense by 1 stage).
♦ Brick Break is a physical 75-base power Fighting-type move (destroys screens, unless the target is immune).
♦ Return is a physical 0-base power Normal-type move (max 102 power at maximum happiness).
♦ Frustration is a physical 0-base power Normal-type move (max 102 power at minimum happiness).
♦ Crunch is a physical 80-base power Dark-type move (20% chance to lower the target's defense by 1 stage).
♦ Bite is a physical 60-base power Dark-type move (30% chance to flinch the target).
