Vaporeon
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Vaporeon is a water-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward HP — at 525 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with mid-pack speed (base 65) and a special attacking profile. Its Water Absorb ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Vaporeon. Build around what Vaporeon actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
