What is everyone's preferable Vaporeon move post update?

I personally enjoy AT as a poor mans version of DB/DC Nite or ZH/BS Lax. HP is still pretty awesome and AT might take a little bit longer due to dodging and inefficient usage of the charge move, but it saves a lot more potions for me personally. I've tried AT on all the relevant gym defenders besides Blissey and can say it's pretty impressive lol. What about for all you guys?

Definitely Aqua Tail, and it's the best defensively to boot.

AT for offense. AT or HP for defense. HP actually got harder to dodge. It will hit attackers hard that don't dodge well.

Aqua tail is awesome. I mainly use it for defending.

Aqua Tail and Hydro Pump are both great, just a matter of personal preference. Water Pulse is really bad now, but at least it's still a Vaporeon.

I prefer Aqua Tail since I mainly prestige anymore in which dodging is critical, you just can't afford to be hit by a Stone Edge or something cuz ur mon is toast. Its not that either make it any harder to dodge, but there may be times u sitting on a full bar waiting for the opponent to use a charge move so u can use yours and not get hit, that's very wasteful.

I'm so sad what they did to Water Pulse. That was such a great defensive move. The only mon I ever found to deal with it was ZH/Seed Bomb Eggy. Now I'm hoping I can somehow teach my 3014 Vape Aqua Tail.

Water Pulse is still better than Hydro Pump for defense... Plus it still causes crippling framerate drops for older phones that makes dodging actually impossible.

Have you faced both in an actual gym scenario?

He's right on that crippling framerate drops. My S5 can't handle the animation. I always quit attacking once I find out that a vaporeon has WP.

Sure...a handful of phones may have an issue with a particular move. That part I am not questioning.

I will never pick a moveset based on the hope someone uses a particular phone.
