Strategy & play

How Simisage plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.

  • Its main attack (Arm Thrust Needle) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
  • Needs Grass Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
  • Grass type, weak to Fire ×2 — a Fire attacker doing ≥50 effectively one-shots it.
  • A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
  • A Stage 1 — one step up from Pansage; doesn’t help your opening hand, but quick to set up.
  • Currently Standard-legal — usable in the main rotating format.

How to beat Simisage

  • Exploit its Fire weakness — ≥50 damage one-shots it.
  • Gust it before the evolution is set up.

Frequently asked

How can I tell if my Simisage is real?

Simisage is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
