except jolteons a sweeper, and vaporeon isn't.
Vaporeon is for having high HP and special defense, with moves such as acid armor to make it a balanced wall.
Not to mention, access to a Stab surf, along with ice beam and a variety of other moves gives it very solid coverage against a lot of pokemon who would down it.
I will say one thing though, vaporeon isnt as good in gen 1... but in future generations such as 3 4 and 5 it becomes an absolute monster. I hardly ever analyze gen 1 from a competitive standpoint though due to how broken and unbalanced it is.
I used to purely use jolteon or umbreon in the past, but now vaporeon is my absolute favorite.
