Movepool-wise, which is the best elemental monkey?

Question

This is not opinion based. Just which monkey (simisage,simisear and simipour) can cover the most typings?

Answer 1

I will do this with full movepool and best 4 move coverage, separately. I will be excluding Hidden Power for the sake of "breaking" the comparison. Also, keep in mind the type coverage checker I am using counts different forms of a Pokémon as a different Pokémon. :P

Full Movepool:

Simisage- Normal, Ghost, Grass, Fairy, Fighting, Poison, Steel, Dark, Flying, Ground, and Rock (11 types)

Overall, Simisage has better coverage in both categories. :P

Hope I helped!

He/she/it asked for the most typings, not the most Pokemon.

Answer 2

After looking at all 3, in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon I’d say that the simi trio are all quite good but simisear or simisage is probably best for egg moves and move tutor.
