    Roar on lead subpass vaporeon is also a very good option to counteract stuff like roar suicune. I saw mcmeghan use it on a cmpass team and it’s super good since you can cmpass to vaporeon and roar before the opponent and roar you out. The cmpass celebi is also a good switch in for lead zapdos since you’re dropping ice beam and using lefties with this set

  • @thisisdefinitelymyrealname
    @thisisdefinitelymyrealname Год назад +8

    I've been messing around with the Kanto eeveelutions in ADV recently. So far Vaporeon is the only one I haven't had a lot of success with and haven't played too much.
    Jolteon is a horrifying lead with TWave + Sub to throw foes' off balance. This set also helps reveal what Blissey set foes use.
    Flareon walls Moltres all day and punishes Starmie and Gengar with Shadow Ball and Wish. It also denied a +2 DD Sala sweep with Quick Attack.
    I knew Vaporeon had some offensive utility-- compared to Suicune, Milotic, and Starmie, it has the highest SpA, but most of the time we end up thinking "Wish Sub Pass."
    ...But what if we combined all three?

    I actually used a vaporeon in fire red. I desperately needed a water type and I didn’t want lapras or a starmie since I’d have to grind a fair amount of levels to get starmie caught up. So I chose vaporeon. It definitely held its own. Plus it got a pretty solid move set early on.

      @@hot-headedloosewire6878 If you’re going for stall the best nature would be a special def raising and physical atk lowering nature.
      Then put most of your ev’s into hp and special def.
      The remaining in either special atk or physical def.
      A toxic stall set is probably your best bet.
      With moves like amnesia,rest, toxic and hydro pump for a more stall focused build for example.
      For a more special attack focus build go for a special atk raising and physical atk lowering nature.
      Put your ev’s in hp and then split between special atk and special def.
      A more aggresive rest talk set with Surf and ice beam are a good option.
      Hydro pump is a good option but Surf is the better alternative if you prefer reliable stab over pure power.

      TSS is usually outclassed by stealth rocks in gen 4, and there are a large amount of strong ground and steel mons in newer gens who just don't care about rock type attacks. 8 Ground Types in OU is a meme for a reason, and ground's been a strong type for a good 6 generations in a row now

      @majorscrub2856 Год назад +1

      @@andersolson44 Yeah, the existence of stealth rock warps the meta, and in a roundabout way, makes rock types worse. With stealth rock, rock weak pokemon are disenfranchised from the metagame, while pokemon who are neutral, or resistant, actively gain value. Defensively, rock types are also pre much just worse steel types, with the main types they resist being pushed out by stealth rock, similarly.

    That's cool but did you know that "Unfortunate" doesn't begin to describe my series, this game rewards blind luck and nothing else, I am beyond convinced at this point. After getting completely tooled by scheduling with my opponent changing times on me last minute and refusing to provide confirmation prior to the day of the match as to play times, losing this way somehow felt even worse than I had thought possible. My preparation was superior, my play was superior, and I lost, so I don't see a reason to continue engaging in an activity where what is within my control is overwhelmingly outweighed by what is not.
