Vaporeon questions

Question 1:
Is Hydropump or Aquatail better for Vaporeon? Hydropump is better for raw damage, but Aquatail is 3 bar with cooldown almost as short as Dragon Claw, which allows for easier dodging and reduces overcharging.

Question 2:
IVs are ATT/DEF/STA.
Hydropump:
1: CP 2807 IV 80 (14/14/08)
2: CP 2674 IV 73 (08/11/14)
3: CP 2523 IV 73 (04/15/14)
4: CP 1957 IV unknown (pretty decent)
5: CP 1748 IV 73 (15/04/14)
Aquatail:
1: CP 2318 IV 93 (13/14/15)
2: CP 2275 IV 48 (10/01/11)
3: CP 2106 IV 95 (14/15/14)
4: CP 1947 IV 69 (02/14/15)
Vapes with Waterpulse or below level 20 are not listed.
Which ones should I power up?
I'm considering maxing out the 93% and 95% AT ones.
I also have a WP Vape I'm considering TMing. CP 2384, IV 80 (14/10/12).

  1. For attack yes. The raw damage of hydropump compensates
  2. Tbh non imo(!) I got 2 2900+ vape; HP and AT; attacker and defender.

I dont have the feeling I need the extra power when attacking (maybe now with raiding Tyranitar) but I feel more of a need for that extra power in fighting type mons

and defending; Well my vape got stuck 6 days after the gym change. Bunch of comedians gave it berries. No need for anyting high CP in gyms atm. Whait 1-2 weeks for any gym changes.

You can easily attack very effectively with AT and it is a much much better move for defense (for WHEN they fix the gyms). I'm a fan of the comparison you made with dragon claw when attacking. DB/DC on a dragonite is just bae! WG/AT on a vape, same deal. Really makes dodging nice, and with all this lag in raids it'll make it less likely you'll be caught stuck in your super when you need to dodge.

I have all 3 types above 3000CP and to be honest I'm about to TM my WP one to get HP or AT.

AT is so insane. After 3 water guns that charge bar is ready to fire off an AT with the ability to dodge. Something crucial when fighting raids when a stone edge can 1 hit ko your vaperon

Thanks for the advice! I think I'll start maxing out my 95% AT Vaporeon.
