The wonderful charcteristics of a certain water pokemon

[–] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Hey guys, did you know that in terms of Gen 4 OU Competitive Pokémon, Vaporeon is a great wall? Not only do they have a 130 HP base stat, which puts it in 14th place of the highest-HP Pokémon in Gen 4, Vaporeon’s base stats in Sp. Atk. and Sp. Def. are 110 and 95, respectively. This means they’re bulky enough to handle most Special Attackers, and with an investment in Defence EVs and access to Acid Armour, they can take on mixed attackers too. Due to their water typing, they have a range of handy resistances and only two weaknesses, and with their low weight of 63.9 pounds, they can easily take an Infernape’s Grass Knot for hours without getting sore. They can also learn the moves Wish, Protect, Surf, Ice Beam, and Toxic, so it’s incredibly easy to wish-stall and wear down opponents with Toxic and STAB Surf. With their ability Water Absorb, they can easily switch into all water-type attacks. No other Pokémon comes close to this level of well-rounded walling. Also, fun fact, if you place enough entry hazards, even an opponent setting up sandstorm or hail can barely break through this bulky water-type Pokémon before it wears them down. Vaporeon is literally built to annoy enemy sweepers. Good defences + high HP + recovery moves + Acid Armour + Toxic means it can switch in and out all day and still come back for more.

Actually, the link is just: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TNCYsMrvGo. Rest of it is probably a tracker.

~~I think the pp= parameter is referencing a playlist.~~ The tracker parameter is si=.

Edit: I have no idea what the pp= parameter does.

Doesn't look like it's in any playlist. In fact, that last portion just got cut out automatically when I opened the URL.

Yeah, I realized. No clue what it does, the only mention I found was on a 2 year old Reddit post on r/youtube asking the same.
