Milotic

Milotic stands out from the other bulky Water-types thanks to its access to reliable recovery and solid mixed bulk. It checks many common threats like Flygon, Incineroar, and Chandelure. Milotic's access to Recover means that it can run other moves on its set, giving it a huge advantage over Vaporeon, which usually sacrifices two slots for Wish and Protect. However, Milotic can struggle against powerful wallbreakers like Flamigo, Porygon-Z, and Flygon, as they can overwhelm it and force it to immediately heal. Additionally, Milotic can be forced to Terastallize by Pokemon like Alolan Muk and Galarian Slowbro that threaten it with poison, which otherwise forces it to constantly heal. While Milotic can handle many physical and special attackers, it can be easily overwhelmed by repeatedly switching into foes that it checks like Chandelure and Flygon or a powerful attack.
