Vaporeon's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Vaporeon PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

⚔️ Raids

As with most of the Eevee evolutions, Vaporeon is a strong competitor in raid battles which require Water types. When ignoring Megas, Primals and Shadows, Vaporeon ranks in the top 20 Water type attackers surrounded by Legendaries, rare spawns or the first partner Pokémon which require a legacy move to be considered. Vaporeon comes in requiring just 25 candy to evolve into and its moveset of Water Gun and Hydro Pump are constantly available without Elite TM. All of which makes it one of the best budget raid attackers available in the game.

🛡️ Gyms

2016 Pokémon GO players will remember how common Vaporeon was as a gym defender. Well years later, and nearly 900 additional creatures added to the game, the Bubble Jet Pokémon remains one of the best Gym defenders going. It shares the A+ ranking with its cousins, Umbreon and Sylveon, but most importantly, is one of the most early game friendly options given Eevee’s near guaranteed availability in spawns and research.

Vaporeon PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🧸 Little League

The only favourable matchup that Vaporeon may encounter in the Little League is Gliscor, but when you compare this to how poorly Vaporeon performs against meta leaders Shuckle and Bronzor, it may be worth skipping in this case.

🔵 Great League

With the pool of Water types so massive, it’s unsurprising that there are better options than Vaporeon here, namely Lapras and Azumarill. Should you wish to invest in Vaporeon though, you’ll need to get an Elite TM to unlock its legacy Last Resort Charged Move, to pair with Water Gun and Aqua Tail.

🟡 Ultra League

Not much changes in rankings for Vaporeon here, it’s still a poor choice. The only notable wins come against Talonflame and Skelidirge, but with its limited movepool and pure Water typing it will struggle against most of the meta leaders.

🟣 Master League

Maxing out at a possible 3521 CP and being outmatched by much stronger Water Legendary types means Vaporeon is not viable for the Master League.
