There is not a whole lot to this SubPlot set. It's just to take better advantage of Simipour's ability, [b]Gluttony[/b]. With it, it doesn't take as much to set off the effects of its Berry. [b]Substitute[/b] blocks status and is the most reliable way of getting to 50% health, when the Berry will be eaten. [b]Salac Berry[/b] would be my first choice, but you can choose a [b]Petaya Berry[/b] if you feel you will need the Special Attack boost at all costs. But, if you successfully predict that the opponent isn't going to try and expose your bad defenses, then congratulations, you get a free monstrous boost to your Special Attack, courtesy of [b]Nasty Plot[/b]. Choose between [b]Hydro Pump[/b] based on how lucky you feel you traditionally get, but I would prefer [b]Surf[/b] in this case because the Special Attack after a boost will be too high to let go to waste should Hydro Pump miss. [b]Ice Beam[/b] is the other attack to hit pesky bastards like Gastrodon and Ferrothorn neutral.
