While most trainers evolve Panpour into Simipour immediately, the unevolved form has a niche with Eviolite boosting its defenses. Only weak to Electric and Grass. Can go either physical or special depending on the set. Part of the Gen 5 roster.
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.
It does not thrive in dry environments. It keeps itself damp by shooting water stored in its head tuft from its tail.
Panpour Weakness
GoodPanpour's Water typing leaves it vulnerable to Electric and Grass moves. The Water typing picks up 4 resistances to work with.
- Fairy type does not exist — Dragon has fewer checks
- Physical / Special split now per-move (introduced Gen IV)
