Vaporeon

Vaporeon establishes itself as a useful defensive Pokemon, utilizing its ability Water Absorb and the recovery of Wish to slow down great Water-type Pokemon such as Suicune and Basculegion-F. Vaporeon can support its teammates by passing Wish to them and using Flip Turn to bring in strong attackers such as Choice Specs Hisuian Goodra, or it can use Haze to neutralize setup sweepers like Mimikyu. Vaporeon also helps immensely against rain teams by blanking the Water-type attacks of common rain attackers such as Barraskewda and Basculegion-F. Vaporeon, however, struggles immensely into Electric-types such as Raikou and Magnezone, as while they may not appreciate a Scald burn, they can generally force Vaporeon out into a teammate. Dragon-types such as Cyclizar and Noivern also can give Vaporeon trouble, as their disruptive moves such as Knock Off and Taunt can force it out by threatening to cripple it. Vaporeon's biggest issue, though, is its passivity, and thus it can be exploited very easily by Pokemon such as Reuniclus and Wo-Chien that do not care about Scald.
