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.
Eyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Who else here feel sorry for Eevee? Do you know how many horrible tests must have been performed on it to discover all of its known evolutions? And somewhere, someone is still trying to figure out how to trigger its Ghost evolution...
Sylveon is a 'fairy-type'
i guess they are comming with a new type of pokemon
