Simipour Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Simipour has a 498 base stat total and ranks as C-Tier: a niche pick in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon's meta. It works best as a pivot. Ice Beam with Wateriumz is the standard set.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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.
For Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, the core moveset is Ice Beam, Nasty Plot, Hydro Pump, and Grassknot. Ice Beam leads at 0% usage. This set covers the pivot role with a mix of damage and utility.
Game Availability
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.
