Panpour Best Moveset
Water completes the elemental monkey trio on the same 53/53/64 stat line. Moderate cooldowns and low damage across the board. The moveset mirrors Pansage and Pansear exactly, and Water typing is arguably the best of the three defensively. Simipour at 98/101 awaits.
Panpour saw minimal competitive use in Gen V (Black & White / B2W2). This was Panpour's competitive peak. Its most popular set ran Gluttony with Eviolite, favoring a Timid nature.

Shiny Panpour
Panpour's shiny is a lighter blue, completing the trio of elemental monkeys that all received the exact same treatment: "make it lighter." Three different type specialties, three identical levels of shiny laziness. At this point it feels intentional, like a coordinated effort in underwhelming.

Base Stats
You won't find a real weakness in Panpour's stat line. It's well-rounded for the Spray Pokemon, and what it does with that depends on moveset and items. Yields 1 Speed EV, on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
The water stored inside the tuft on its head is full of nutrients. Plants that receive its water grow large.
Panpour Guide
For a casual playthrough, Panpour works as a placeholder. Water coverage is useful early. The real payoff is Simipour. That's where the stats start mattering.
Game Availability
Since Black & White, Panpour has been obtainable in 7 games. A Generation 5 debut means a shorter history, but Panpour has appeared steadily across every generation since.
