Simisage
Paradox Rift

#5 Simisage - Paradox Rift (sv4)

Simisage is a Grass-type Pokémon with 100 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless Energy. Its ability, Monkey Trio, allows it to ignore all Colorless Energy in attack costs if Simisage, Simisear, and Simipour are all in play. The card’s primary attack, Arm Thrust Needle, requires one Grass and two Colorless Energy to deal 100 damage, and during the opponent’s next turn, it prevents all damage to itself from attacks by Pokémon with Abilities, except for Simisage. Simisage has no resistances but is weak to Fire, taking double damage from such attacks. The card’s flavor text describes it as ill-tempered, with a bitter leaf on its head that contributes to its aggressive fighting style. It was released in the Paradox Rift set as part of the Scarlet & Violet series, with a rarity of Uncommon and a regulation mark of G. The artwork was created by artist Kurata So, and the card’s design reflects its role in the Pokémon TCG’s competitive and narrative frameworks.
