Which Vaporeon to power up???
i have 2 Vap to choose from. one is a 64% IV with Hydro Pump and the other is a 93% IV with Aqua tail...
also same question with Flareon. i have a 60% IV with Fire Blast or a 98% IV with Flamethrower.
really stuck between which to power up. normally i would only power up above 85% IV but it is a vap and it could take god knows how many eevee evolutions to get a better iv with hydro pump or Fire Blast.

I upgraded one Vaporeon is AquaTail with and I am very satisfied. it is effective in all situations. Having 50 energy for a sudden limit your extra energy loss by taking damage. 2545CP is today he is my best pokemon ;-). Improve several Vaporeon is expensive to dust. this is why I have that 1. I find in attack with Hydropomp you find you often face a pokemon with some point of life. And can rarely do more, while AquaTail can always make at least 3, so more dps in the end.
In my opinion, you should power all 4 of them little bastards up! Here's the reasons why:
1) Hydro Pump and Fire Blast are optimal moves, so a lower IV doesn't necessarily matter in this case.
2) Aqua Tail and Flamethrower are pretty average moves, not terrible at all. However, they become more useful when they're learned by Pokemon with really high IVs such as your 93% Vaporeon and 98% Flareon; therefore increasing that Pokemon's overall defensive value.
- Vaporeon + Hydro Pump = fantastic attacker.
- Vaporeon + Aqua Tail + 91% IV = great defender.
- Flareon + Fire Blast = fantastic attacker.
- Flareon + Flamethrower + 98% IV = great defender.
