Vaporeon is a very good defensive pokemon in competitive gameplay. Can learn attacks that boost stats, such as Acid Armor, which makes it a good Baton Passer, too.
Set #1: Batton Passing
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 128 HP / 252 Def / 128 Speed
Nature: Calm (+ Sp. Def / - Atk)
- Surf
- Acid Armor
- Wish
- Baton Pass
Set Explanation: This set basically raise Vaporeon's defense with Acid Armor, then Wish if your HP is low or to pass to another pokemon, and Baton Pass to an ally. Surf is only for when the opponent uses Taunt. This set works well in Baton Passing Chains.
Set #2: Sleep Talking
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 86 HP / 100 Def / 140 Sp. Atk / 180 Speed
Nature: Modest (+ Sp. Atk / - Atk)
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Surf / Hydro Pump / Scald
- Ice Beam / Shadow Ball
This set is more offensive. First, choose a STAB, Surf (good power and accuracy), Hydro Pump (more power, less accuracy) or Scald (less power than Surf, good accuracy and chance of burning). Ice Beam if you want super effective in grass and dragons, Shadow Ball if you want coverage for waters. Use Rest if your HP is down, and then Sleep Talk.
Counters
Blissey may be a problem for offensive Vaporeons, thanks to their giant Sp. Def.
Taunters will lack with your Baton Passing Chains, as well as Hazers and Pseudo- Hazers. If you want to make a good Baton Passin Chain, make sure you have a Smeargle with Ingrain to avoid Pseudo-Hazers and a Gliscor with Taunt to avoid Taunt.
So, that's it! Hope you like it!
