CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Simipour seeks places with pure water. It stores some in the tufts on its head and replenishes them by drawing water through its tail when supplies run low. That same tail can expel a high-pressure jet powerful enough to pass through a concrete wall, according to the Pokédex. Its reserve is therefore more than a precaution for travel: it also becomes the source of its main attack.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Black notes that Simipour fills its head tufts by drawing water through its tail. Pokémon White credits that tail with a jet capable of passing through concrete. The organ that refills its reserve therefore also releases its full force.
