Vaporeon is literally just sylveon but vaporeon does absolutely everything better.
- She has access to acid armor
- Higher HP
- Ice beam, which is better at killing dragons than fairy
- Vaporeon has more coverage moves
Why do people use sylveon over vaporeon?
Yes, Vaporeon's Sp. Def is lower than sylveon but Vaporeon's HP makes up for it
Seriously, why are you using sylveon?

Sylveon needed a better HA but got shafted with pixelate

It would be instantly better with something like fur coat

I enjoyed using Vaporeon.
Honestly, you could easily turn her into a damn beast from hell.
I loved running with her using wish, baton pass, substitute, and scald for an offensive bit.
Still... Sylveon is new, squeaky clean, and has that new Pokemon smell.
Give her time, and she will fall into place, find her niche and be happy there.

Sylveon doesn't really need coverage beyond ghost+fairy move, it has 2 uncommon weaknesses it gets stab from its fairy move which isn't that much worse than ice to begin with, it can go on the offensive when it needs to and most vaporeons are classic stall sets. I would agree with you if perma-weather was still around but perma-weather was cancer anyway.

Sylveon gets STAB to deal with dragons, Ice Beam is nice but no STAB and most of the time that means giving up either Toxic, Roar or Protect which are all useful to defensive Pokemon.

Fighting resist is also very handy for Sylveon

STAB pixilated Hyper Voice also hits harder than ice beam, and can shut down substitutes.

Calm mind, almost perfect coverage with just 2 moves, an extremely powerful hyper voice when it becomes available and an arguably better defensive typing. Honestly I'd say they're about even but go about the whole special tank thing in different ways.

How do you figure that Ice Beam is better than, say, Moonblast? Both special, both 100% accuracy, but Moonblast is more powerful, has more PP, and Sylveon actually gets STAB for it. And honestly, 10% chance of freezing is way too low to rely on.

Also, using Sylveon because it's fucking adorable.

It does ingame though, it's one of the moves to be listed as Sound (just like some moves are listed as contact), Showdown probably hasn't updated that, they still haven't figured out and implemented all the battle mechanics. They're still doing research on Smogon as well.

You, you not understood how should play your Vaporeon and yet least understood how to play Sylveon.

Sylveon and Vaporeon is the perfect complement to a common goal, baton pass, Vaporeon pass is acid armor to Sylveon, then Sylveon can easely set is calm mind for attack or pass to your next pokemon.

The idiots who use Vaporeon only in an offensive role already make me laugh, but also those who use Sylveon exclusively in a offensive role it's even worse, I pity them

Sylveon gets STAB pixilate hyper voice that goes through subs.

It's better than ice beam.

Sylveon actually takes Special hits a tiny bit better despite Vaporeon's gigantic HP.
