This is actually really cool, I like it a lot. Could play with Zoroark for some flexibility.
On a separate note, this is why Pokemon as a card game sort of sucks: if these cards aren't good meta cards, that means there's no time or place to play them in a deck. Outside of the top-tier decks in Pokemon, there is absolutely no balance, so the only way to have fun with a deck like this would be to invent a deck with a similar power level which would take a lot of time and effort and generally won't happen.
 
Simisage can literally be immune to Charizard and Gardevoir.
That's crazy
 
Even if the ability removed the entire attack cost, the deck is still far away from being remotely viable.
