Something Worth Fighting For
:monkey: -mz
[OVERVIEW]
Despite having nearly unresisted coverage, an above average Speed tier, and access to Nasty Plot, Simipour's low bulk makes it difficult for it to find free turns to set up. Simipour faces direct competition from Pokemon such as Alolan Raichu as a fast Nasty Plot sweeper due to its better Speed tier, dual typing, and access to a STAB pivoting move in Volt Switch. Simipour also has to compete with other Water-types such as Floatzel and Choice Specs Jellicent, the former of which is faster, while the latter is immediately stronger, with both of them providing other various utility options such as Switcheroo, Aqua Jet, a Water immunity, and spinblocking.

Simipour should attempt to set up with Nasty Plot on something passive such as bulky Oricorio-G after being brought in by a slow pivot. From there, Simipour can fire off powerful special attacks in the attempt of bringing a foe down before it is KOed. However, Simipour's lackluster bulk and few resistances limit its setup opportunties. Comparatively, Omastar and Carracosta are much more reliable Water-type setup sweepers, as their better Defense stats and notable Normal- and Flying-resistances allow them to more reliably set up with Shell Smash, their chosen setup option.
