Physical Sweeper:

Simisear (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Blaze
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Fire Punch
- Brick Break
- Crunch
- Acrobatics

Pretty much the same situation as Simisage, Needs Choice Band to be affective with damage, and Jolly gives him good speed.

OR

Special Sweeper:
Simisear (M) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Blaze
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Flamethrower
- Nasty Plot
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Focus Blast

Basically, I agree with Dt, but I wanted to put in my item nature, Ev's Etc.

Simisear (M) @ Fire Gem
Trait: Gluttony
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Lonely Nature (+Atk, -Def)
- Overheat
- Acrobatics
- Rock Slide
- Crunch

Fire gem and Overheat mesh well together. Giving a super high powered fire attack to launch off the battle can be of great use.

Acrobatics is substantially more powerful now that you've let go of your items.

Rock slide just promotes overall coverage. Crunch does the same.

This is one of my preferable short battle strategies.

Simisear @ Heat Rock / Scope Lens
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Sunny Day / Hone Claws (Increases power of Fire moves and lets you get Solar Beam off in one turn / Increase accuracy)
- Fire Blast (Most powerful STAB Simisear has. BOOYAH!! (Sorry I had to (: ) Appreciates accuracy boost from Home Claws.)
- Focus Blast (High powered coverage, also good with accuracy boost)
- Solar Beam (Nice coverage move for Water / Ground, and great power)

Thanks for reading :)

Gen 7 ZU

Simisear @ Salac Berry
Ability: Gluttony
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Flare Blitz / Fire Punch
- Knock Off
- Rock Slide
- Hone Claws

Flare Blitz is STAB. Fire Punch is an alternative if you want a fire STAB that doesn't make you take recoil damage, but has less power. Knock Off removes items of opposing Pokemon. Rock Slide is for coverage. Hone Claws is to boost your attack.
