Simipour Black & White Guide
In Black & White, Simipour has a 498 base stat total and ranks as C-Tier: a niche pick in Black & White's meta. It works best as a pivot. Hydro Pump with Sitrus Berry is the standard set.
In Black & White, 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 Black & White, 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 Black & White, the core moveset is Hydro Pump, Ice Beam, Scald, and Nasty Plot. Hydro Pump leads at 0% usage. Scald provides reliable STAB damage.
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.
