>>51035687>I was originally planning on using Simipour as my team's Water-type but it has a shit movepool. Its stats are actually alright, but the only usable move it has is ScaldSimipour has a great movepool for an in-game Water-Type, it is just that a bunch of them are late.
>Ice Moves (unlike Seismitoad line)>Grass Knot>Dig>Acrobatics>Shadow Claw>Work UpSimipour is arguably the best Water-type in Black barring Samurott.
You get a fast early Water-type that hits like a truck with Scald, has perfect coverage the moment you get to Nimbasa (Water+Normal+Ground is unresisted), and then once later parts of the game comes in, it gets a bunch of good TMs to help it contend with Seismitoad(the only real other candidate for the best non-Samurott Water-type).
>unless you're deranged enough to hold back Panpour from evolving until level 43 for CrunchWhy would you ever do that when Shadow Claw is only 10 BP below and a learnable TM you will get around level 30-35?
