Vaporeon

Vaporeon holds rank 70 in singles at 1.39% high-ladder usage, making it one of the most present Eeveelutions in the singles format. Its enormous 130 HP combined with Water Absorb, which grants full immunity to Water-type moves, forms the basis of a Wish + Flip Turn pivot strategy. It heals damaged teammates, baits switches, and chips with Scald, serving as the backbone of tempo-oriented teams.

Playstyle：Leftovers is the universal item (90.7%), paired with Bold or Relaxed nature and maximum physical bulk (HP 32 / Defense 32 EVs), ensuring Vaporeon can tank hits across the two turns Wish takes to heal. The moveset locks into Wish + Protect + Flip Turn + Scald/Yawn. Community writing notes: 「Vaporeon uses Flip Turn Wish to heal Delphox-Mega from chip damage and provides a reversal entry point against Encore-locked opponents.」 Zero top-300 ladder appearances confirm it is purely a support enabler, relying on offensive partners like Garchomp, Lopunny-Mega, and Ceruledge.

Vaporeon's doubles high-ladder usage is just 0.09% at rank 170, making it essentially non-competitive in this format. Doubles demands immediate offensive or field-control value during the six-to-four selection phase, and Vaporeon's Wish heals over two turns — a window that is trivially interrupted by double targeting. It lacks spread moves or genuine doubles utility, and its single-target offense is low-impact in a format where every turn must be leveraged across two Pokemon simultaneously.
