Simisear Report

Simisear (the Ember Pokémon) is an exceptionally rare Fire-type Pokémon found within volcanoes and grasslands throughout the Unova region as well as parts of the Kalos region and Africa. Though not quite as strong as other Fire-types, Simisear are dangerous creatures that can easily roast the competition with their devastating Flame Burst attack. The only real way to keep these critters happy is to load them up on sweets, so don't hog all of your candy if you can help it; cut them off, and they won't think twice about roasting you out of spite!

In contrast to most Fire-type Pokémon, who generate fire with either combustion organs or through internally stored magma, Simisear (who only evolve from Pansear when exposed to the radiant energy of a Fire Stone) actually generate their fire through metabolic processes. By breaking down sugars, reforming them and breaking them down repeatedly, Simisear are able to generate immensely high temperatures within their bodies, essentially creating an internal flame. However, because these specific metabolic processes are derived directly from sugars, Simisear must constantly gorge on sweets in order to keep a reserve of sugar within them at all times. As such, Simisear are highly attracted to foods where sugars are highly concentrated, such as candies and sweets in general. If you're looking to capture a wild Simisear, sweets should be your prime bait…but not too much; Simisear are quite intelligent and can easily detect a blatant trap, so you might have to fiddle around with tactics a bit. Considering how rare Fire Stones are these days, though, it might not be a bad idea to try.

In stark contrast to their pre-evolved form, Simisear have a volatile temper and are easily sent into raging fits if startled or attacked accidentally. When these monkeys get excited in battle, they will violently scatter hot embers from their heads and tails in order to sear their opponent thoroughly; as such, these creatures have access to perhaps the most powerful Ember and Flame Burst attacks out of all Pokémon. In addition, they possess agility and speed that goes beyond the capabilities of most other Fire-type Pokémon, allowing them to literally run circles around enemies without much difficulty. The only real issue these creatures have is their lack of above-average defenses, as a strong blow is usually enough to send them flying across a battlefield; trainers need to keep this in mind and counter with their exceptional Speed at all times.

They might seem cute and relatively harmless, but Simisear are powerful creatures that can definitely put up a good fight against most opponents with their strong agility and diverse moves. Finding a Fire Stone is definitely not an easy task, but if you want one of these hot-blooded primates on your team, you will have to take the time to search for one. Of course, if you don't have the money for a lot of sweets, you might want to avoid getting one anyways; if you can't give them what they want when they want it, you're going to end up seared faster than a frog on a hot sidewalk in the middle of July!
