Strategy Overview

Simipour is one of the strongest special wallbreakers in ZU, with high Special Attack, a great Speed tier, and access to Nasty Plot. Backing this up is a good movepool, with an incredibly strong STAB move in Hydro Pump and great coverage moves like Ice Beam and Focus Blast. However, Simipour's power is offset by poor bulk, leaving it easily revenge killed by Choice Scarf users like Sawsbuck and Electivire. In addition, Simipour is generally outclassed as a Water-type wallbreaker by Floatzel; despite the fact that Simipour does have a higher Special Attack stat and access to Nasty Plot, Floatzel has higher Speed and can run Taunt more reliably compared to how unreliably Simipour can set up Substitute. Simipour also struggles with bulky Water-types, namely Silvally-Water and Mareanie, because it doesn't have the tools to deal heavy damage to them, even with Nasty Plot.
