I'm pretty tired of all the ShellSmashers, SD Jumpluff's, and RP Torterra's running through my team, so I figured I'd post scarf Simipour.
Simipour @
Choice Scarf
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid / Naive Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Grass Knot
- Scald /
Superpower
With the appropriate coverage listed above, Simipour is able to revenge kill a wide range of threats, picking off weakened Raichu, Zebstrika, Persian and Kadabra to name a few. With a choice scarf, Simipour is able to outspeed most Rock Polish and Shell Smash users, such as Adamant Barbaracle at +2, Jolly Carracosta at +2 as well as Torterra to name a few. In addition, scarf simi can outspeed some weather abusers, for example Victreebel in the sun as well as RD Poliwrath (assuming not naive or timid respectively), however Grass Knot only manages to do roughly 50-55% to RD Poliwrath. Scald is a more consistent option for ohko'ing threats such as Rapidash, while being a consistent option in the early game to get a potential burn. I slashed Superpower in the last slot as it allows Simipour to outspeed and pick off weakened RP Regice and Rotom-Frost with Superpower, which can be helpful if your team is weak to those two. If so, Naive nature is used with the 4 ev's dumped in Atk to be able to hit both hard. However, Superpower makes Simipour easy setup bait for things like RD Poliwrath, TR Beeheeyem, Duosion, and CM Clefairy (although not as common anymore) to name a few, so I wouldn't recommend it.
Also a huge threat to rain offense in general, as it outspeeds almost every swiftswimmer (bar Golduck) and can fire off rain-boosted Hydro Pumps and GKs for days.
