Magic Bounce does a great job of deterring your opponent from using status moves, after all. Nimflora has a decent attack stat, okay speed...average everything else. Movepool is kinda shallow, too...Sticky Web, Play Rough, and X-Scissor are easily the main highlights if you're not using Quiver Dance. Nimflora's one job is to set up Sticky Web once, maybe twice. As a Suicide Lead on Hyper Offense, that'd probably work great. The EVs you listed are probably what I'd go with since I wouldn't expect Nimflora to take very many hits. At all.Narshyl gave some tips on how he uses Nimflora. Pretty much exactly what you said. But tbh, while I was testing the team, I realized that Nimflora is not only a suicide lead but it puts a lot of pressure on other hazard setters. I myself get scared to lay web or rocks whenever there's a nimflora on the other side.
Maybe take a look at some Galvantula sets for some inspiration? The elespider kinda does the same thing, after all. Set up Sticky Web, land a strong hit if you can...(ironically, that is exactly what my Galvantula just did in the Skull Ruins Roleplay)
Oh and, hey, maybe you already know but the Monster Trio is usable in the sim, but their movepool is rather poor. I have had some succes with full def Baitatao running Coral Break, Flamethrower, Protect and HP Ground.
