It prefers places with clean water. When its tuft runs low, it replenishes it by siphoning up water with its tail.
Simipour is weak to Electric and Grass. It resists 4 types, giving it decent defensive coverage. Simipour leans offensive (base 98 Atk) rather than trying to tank its weaknesses.

Simipour has a 498 base stat total and ranks as C-Tier: a situational pick that fills a niche. It works best as a pivot. Base 101 Speed is where it shines.
Simipour's biggest threats include Jolteon (Electric) and Exeggutor (Grass), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Only 2 weaknesses means fewer dedicated counters to worry about. Simipour's base 101 Speed lets it outpace many threats and strike first, which matters more than trying to tank hits.
Gluttony is the go-to ability for Simipour. It makes the Pokémon eat any held Berry triggered by low HP below 1/2 its max HP. Its hidden ability Torrent can work in specific setups.
Simipour fills the pivot role. It's a special attacker with base 98 Sp. Atk. Base 101 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.
The core moveset is Ice Beam, Nasty Plot, Surf, and Grassknot. Ice Beam leads at 22% usage. Surf provides reliable STAB damage.
Introduced in Black & White, Simipour has appeared in 7 games across 6 generations. Later debuts mean fewer total appearances, but it's been a consistent presence since its introduction.
