Simipour is a Water-type from Gen 5. Only weak to Electric and Grass. 101 base Speed is its best stat. Known as the Geyser Pokemon. Flexible enough to run physical or special sets.
Simipour's built around mixed offense. Speed leads the charge, Defense pays for it. Moderately hard to find, worth 2 Speed EVs. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
The tuft on its head holds water. When the level runs low, it replenishes the tuft by siphoning up water with its tail.
The high-pressure water expelled from its tail is so powerful, it can destroy a concrete wall.

- Physical / Special split now per-move (introduced Gen IV)
Simipour doesn't evolve through normal leveling. You'll need an evolution item to get here from Panpour's line. Breed this form to get Panpour eggs (average hatch time). Evolving from Panpour gave Simipour the biggest boost in Attack (+45), bringing the total to 498 stats.
How to Evolve
Breed with Simipour to get Panpour eggs using 180 partners from the Ground egg group. Notable egg moves include Aqua Ring, Aqua Tail, Astonish and 7 more.
For a setup attacker, Simipour wants max HP and Attack EVs and Sitrus Berry. The Hardy nature tilts toward balanced duty, and Gluttony contributes without taking a move slot.
