I tested the claim of Vaporeon’s impressive Base Stats for HP and access to Acid Armor. Ungodly defense stat+high HP pool+Acid Armor means it can take pounding, all day and still not faint.
I wasn’t planning to use Vaporeon against water types because I have Raichu and Vaporeon doesn’t have any physical attacks learned. Thankfully Vappy got lucky freeze after tanking a crit.
This is my first time playing Pokemon blue in +10 years. Some months ago I played through Gen 2 the first time and because I never had tried Eeveelutions before so I caught/bred them all in silver.
Because I found Vaporeon’s move set fun to play in silver it was my carry in gen 3 and now in gen 1. Espeon is good as well because of the psychic type. I swear it’s not only because of the memes!

serebii.net/attackdex-swsh/pound Pound does have 35 pp and it’s just 40 power. With acid armor it sure could tank many of those.
