Biology

Physiology

Vaporeon is the result of an Eevee's exposure to the radiation of a Water Stone. Vaporeon is a composite creature sharing physical traits of dogs, cats, and fish. Vaporeon's body is light-blue and has a white collar. Vaporeon has yellow ears made of webbing and has a fin on its head resembling its ears. Vaporeon has blue ridges that run down the length of its spine and on to its tail-fin. Vaporeon's molecular structure is close to water, and its body glitters when sunlight hits at certain angles because of it.

Because it's a fully evolved Pokémon, it can learn Hyper Beam and Giga Impact.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Vaporeon are highly adapted to aquatic life. Unlike its pre-evolution, it has the ability to breathe underwater. As stated previously, they have a unique molecular structure. They have the ability to "melt" into a body of water and disappear completely from view. They can also manipulate water molecules, giving them the ability to learn Water-type attacks their previous evolutions could not.

Vaporeon also have the ability to walk on water.

Behavior

Vaporeon are very difficult to observe in the wild, as they are somewhat uncommon. When they are in the water, they are virtually impossible to see. While they are much easier to see while they are resting onshore, they possess the ability to rearrange themselves on a molecular level, causing themselves to "melt" into the water. It is likely that many mermaid stories were spawned by Vaporeon sightings, as their tails resemble those of mermaids.

Habitat

Vaporeon are always found close to water, and prefer large, clean lakes.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

In the anime

Vaporeon first appeared in The Battling Eevee Brothers, under the ownership of Rainer.

Ash battled against a Vaporeon in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam.

A Vaporeon was one of the Pokémon that was captured and cloned by Mewtwo in Mewtwo Strikes Back.

Vaporeon was also seen under the ownership of one the Kimono Sisters in Trouble's Brewing and Espeon Not Included.

An old woman named Galea owned a Vaporeon in On Olden Pond.

In the manga

Pokémon Special

Red temporarily controlled a Vaporeon, which was actually his Eevee switching between its evolved forms. It soon evolved into an Espeon, which disallowed any further switching.
