Vaporeon functions as a bulky Water-type that does well against hyper offensive threats. It can easily take most neutral and resisted attacks and use Yawn's guaranteed sleep turn to either 2HKO foes or OHKO them after a Fake Tears. Ice Beam gives positive matchups versus prevalent Dragon-types, particularly Dragapult, Hydreigon, and Haxorus. It can also allow you to defeat Dracovish with a lucky damage roll. Alternatively, Fake Tears turns matchups against some stall Pokemon such as Galarian Corsola and Arcanine in Vaporeon's favor, as well as generally reducing its reliance on luck. Vaporeon's defensive investments allow it to survive neutral hits from many strong Pokemon, particularly Haxorus, Dragapult, and Hydreigon. Life Orb is necessary to secure the KO against Haxorus and turn the Dragapult matchup into a favorable roll for an OHKO, although Mystic Water is preferred when running Fake Tears to provide Vaporeon with more longevity. Water Absorb prevents Dracovish from hitting Vaporeon with its 170 BP Fishious Rend, which can put it in range of fainting to Life Orb recoil.

Vaporeon pairs well with frailer, slower Pokemon, especially slower Choice Band users such as Dracozolt and Haxorus that hit hard but may face bad matchups against hyper offensive threats like Galarian Darmanitan, Hydreigon, and Dragapult that Vaporeon can easily handle. Vaporeon struggles with other defensive Water-type Pokemon that resist or are immune to its STAB moves such as Milotic and Gastrodon and hard hitting Electric-type Pokemon such as Dracozolt and Rotom-W. Excadrill and Rotom-C cover these weaknesses well with their strong, super effective STAB attacks. In return, Vaporeon can cover faults these two Pokemon share in a weakness to hyper offensive Pokemon and Fire-type Pokemon.

Vaporeon functions as a bulky Water-type that does well against hyper offensive threats. It can easily bulk most neutral and resisted attacks and use Yawn's guaranteed sleep turn to either two hit KO or, alternatively, one hit KO back after a Fake Tears. Ice Beam can be ran over Fake Tears to give positive matchups versus the metagame's always present dragon types, particularly Choiced Dragapult, Hydreigon, and Haxorus. It can also allow you to defeat Whimsicott how and Dracovish with a lucky roll. Fake Tears can be ran to turn some matchups against stall Pokemon such as Corviknight and Mandibuzz don’t both big birds just taunt you?into a series of mind games, and generally reduce Vaporeon's reliance on luck.mention actual matchups FT matters in like Galarian Corsola or Stall Arcanine Mystic Water is used when running Fake Tears over Ice Beam to provide Vaporeon with extra sustain. Vaporeon's defensive investments allow it to survive neutral hits from many strong Pokemon, particularly Haxorus, Dragapult, and Hydreigon, 20 Speed is used to outspeed uninvested not a real thing Corviknight, and any extra EVs are used to increase Vaporeon's already very high Special Attack.

Vaporeon pairs well with frailer, slower Pokemon such as Band? Dracozolt and Band? Haxorus that hit hard but may face bad matchups against hyper offensive threats like?. Vaporeon struggles with other defensive Water-type Pokemon such as?, hard hitting Grass- and Electric-type Pokemon such as?, and bulky setup offense Pokemon that can take a few hits and boost up to KO it back such as?. Vaporeon pairs best with Pokemon that can cover these weaknesses with a super effective STAB move coming off a high attacking stat, Excadrill and Rotom-Mow are notable for filling this role effectively. How are you dealing with Grass-types with either of these? In addition, what does Vaporeon do for these Pokemon? (Yes I know it’s beat Fires but you have to say it)

Add an explanation for why to use Life Orb, add an explanation of what water absorb beats

Vaporeon pairs well with frailer, slower Pokemon, especially slow Choice Band users such as Dracozolt and Haxorus haxorus aint even that slow that hit hard but may face bad matchups against hyper offensive threats like Galarian Darmanitan, Hydreigon, and Dragapult what does vaporeon do in return. Vaporeon struggles with other defensive Water-type Pokemon that resist its STAB moves such as Milotic and Gastrodon and hard hitting Electric-type Pokemon such as Dracozolt and Rotom-Wash. Vaporeon pairs best with Pokemon that can cover these weaknesses with a super effective STAB move coming off a high attacking stat, Excadrill and Rotom-Mow are notable for filling these roles effectively. In return, Vaporeon can cover faults these two Pokemon share in a weakness to hyper offense and Fire-type Pokemon.
