Vaporeon

Vaporeon's typing and good defenses let it check common physical attackers like Paldean Tauros-W, Incineroar, and Flygon, and Water Absorb makes it one of the best answers to opposing Water-types like Inteleon and Basculegion-M. Compared to other physically bulky Water-types like Swampert and Quagsire, Vaporeon excels due to its access to reliable recovery in Wish and its ability to pivot and potentially pass Wish to its teammates with Flip Turn. Vaporeon can also run Haze, which allows it to check bulky setup sweepers like Calm Mind Cresselia and Iron Defense Registeel. However, more powerful or more aggressively boosting foes, such as Swords Dance Mienshao and Nasty Plot Munkidori, can overwhelm Vaporeon. Additionally, while Vaporeon can be a great blanket check to certain physical and special attackers, it can be easily overwhelmed at times by either how many it has to check in a battle or their sheer power. Grass- and Electric-type attackers, such as Poison Heal Breloom, Brambleghast, and Kilowattrel, are quite common as well and easily force Vaporeon out.
