It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Eevee}} when exposed to a [[Water Stone]].
'''Vaporeon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: シャワーズ ''Showers'') is a {{t|Water}}-type Pokémon.


=Biology=
It is one of Eevee's [[Eeveelution|final forms]], the others being {{p|Jolteon}}, {{p|Flareon}}, {{p|Espeon}}, {{p|Umbreon}}, {{p|Leafeon}}, {{p|Glaceon}}, and {{p|Sylveon}}.
==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 {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.
==Biology==
===Gender differences===

None.
Vaporeon is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that shares physical traits with both aquatic and land animals. Vaporeon's body is light blue with a dark blue marking around its head and a spiky ridge down its spine. It has black eyes and a tiny black nose. There is a white fin encircling its neck and three fins with cream-colored webbing on its head. Two of these fins are on either side of its head, similar to ears; and one is directly on top of its head, resembling a {{wp|dorsal fin}}. Vaporeon is a quadruped with three small toes on each foot and dark blue paw pads on the hind feet. Its split tail fin has been mistaken for a mermaid's in the past and is believed to be the origin of mermaid folklore. It can detect moisture with its fins, which vibrate when sensing incoming rain.


===Special abilities===
Vaporeon is mostly found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban settings}} under the ownership of a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. It is rarely seen in the wild, but it prefers clean freshwater lakes and shores. It has developed gills to become better suited to an aquatic lifestyle, and its cell composition's similarity to water allows it to melt into the water. This ability enables Vaporeon to remain camouflaged while swimming, hiding itself from enemies and allowing it to ambush its prey: fish Pokémon.
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 {{t|Water}}-type attacks their previous evolutions could not.
{{left clear}}


==Behavior==
===Evolution===
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 [[Acid Armor (move)|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.
Vaporeon evolves from {{p|Eevee}}.
==Habitat==
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Urban Pokémon|Urban Pokémon]]]]
Vaporeon are always found close to water, and prefer large, clean lakes.


==Diet==

==Trivia==
* Vaporeon is the only {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that appears in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by Pal Park location|Field|field section}} of [[Pal Park]].
* In {{game|Yellow}}, Vaporeon is programmed to learn both {{m|Haze}} and {{m|Mist}} at level 42; however, a bug prevents a Pokémon from learning more than one move at the same level when leveled up outside of [[Pokémon Day Care]], so Vaporeon can only learn Mist if it reaches level 42 in Pokémon Day Care.
* In {{g|Colosseum}}, Vaporeon possesses a snow-like visual effect surrounding its body in battle. No other Pokémon in the series has this effect. The reason for this visual effect is unknown.
* Vaporeon is the only Eeveelution that does not share any weakness with another Eeveelution.

==Side game data==
In [[Generation I]], Vaporeon had a notably different design, with the backs of its ears being all black, fins on each leg, and a fin running down the entire length of its back, possibly remnants of its original dog-like design. All of these details were removed in [[Generation II]]. Notably, these details weren't present in its original {{game|Red and Green|s}} artwork.

==Evolution==
===Origin===
{| border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="margin: auto;"
According to designer Atsuko Nishida, Vaporeon and especially its tail were designed with the idea of {{wp|mermaid}}s in mind.<ref name=EVs/> It also resembles various aquatic creatures such as fish and {{wp|dolphin}}s. Its ears resemble a mix between a fish's fin and a {{wp|fennec fox}}'s ears.

Vaporeon may also be inspired by the {{wp|Telchines}} of {{wp|Greek mythology}}, or a pun on the {{wp|catfish}}. Due to the fringe around its neck resembling a {{wp|ruff (clothing)|ruff}} and a {{wp|lion}}'s mane, Vaporeon may also be a possible reference to the heraldic {{wp|sea-lion}}; or the similar-looking {{wp|Merlion}}, a national symbol of {{wp|Singapore}}. Its ability to become invisible and turn into water might be inspired by the {{wp|Asrai}}. Vaporeon's resemblance to both {{wp|carnivora}}ns and {{wp|cetacea}}ns could be based on {{wp|Evolution of cetaceans|primitive whales}}, such as ''{{wp|Kutchicetus}}''.


==Sprites==
====Name origin====
{{Sprite|
Vaporeon may be a combination of ''vapor'' and ''eon'' (an immeasurably long period of time, possibly referring to how long evolution takes naturally). ''Eon'' is a suffix all {{p|Eevee}} [[evolution]]s share and was Eevee's English prototype name.

=Trivia=
Showers is literally ''showers'', referring to a bathroom {{wp|shower}} or {{wp|Shower (precipitation)|rain shower}}.
*Vaporeon is one of the few Water-type non-legendary Pokémon that can learn Ice-type moves without a TM: Aurora Beam at Lv. 36 and Haze at Lv. 57.
*Vaporeon is the heaviest Eevee evolution.
*Vaporeon is tied with Umbreon and Leafeon for tallest Eevee evolution.
==Origin==
===Name origin===
Vaporeon's name is derived from ''vapor''.  Its Japanese name probably refers to rain showers. The ''-eon'' suffix, common to all {{p|Eevee}} [[evolution]]s comes from Eevee's prototype English name.  The French and German names are based of off the word ''aqua''.


It has traits of [[wp:fox|fox]]es, [[wp:dog|dog]]s, [[wp:cat|cat]]s, and [[wp:fish|fishes]].

Vaporeon (Japanese: シャワーズ Showers) is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves from Eevee when exposed to a Water Stone.

It is one of Eevee's final forms, the others being Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon, and Sylveon.

Biology

A Vaporeon melting into water molecules

Vaporeon is a Pokémon that shares physical traits with both aquatic and land animals. Vaporeon's body is light blue with a dark blue marking around its head and a spiky ridge down its spine. It has black eyes and a tiny black nose. There is a white fin encircling its neck and three fins with cream-colored webbing on its head. Two of these fins are on either side of its head, similar to ears; and one is directly on top of its head, resembling a dorsal fin. Vaporeon is a quadruped with three small toes on each foot and dark blue paw pads on the hind feet. Its split tail fin has been mistaken for a mermaid's in the past and is believed to be the origin of mermaid folklore. It can detect moisture with its fins, which vibrate when sensing incoming rain.

Vaporeon is mostly found in urban settings under the ownership of a Trainer. It is rarely seen in the wild, but it prefers clean freshwater lakes and shores. It has developed gills to become better suited to an aquatic lifestyle, and its cell composition's similarity to water allows it to melt into the water. This ability enables Vaporeon to remain camouflaged while swimming, hiding itself from enemies and allowing it to ambush its prey: fish Pokémon.

Evolution

Vaporeon evolves from Eevee.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

Trivia

  • Vaporeon is the only Water-type Pokémon that appears in the field section of Pal Park.
  • In Pokémon Yellow, Vaporeon is programmed to learn both Haze and Mist at level 42; however, a bug prevents a Pokémon from learning more than one move at the same level when leveled up outside of Pokémon Day Care, so Vaporeon can only learn Mist if it reaches level 42 in Pokémon Day Care.
  • In Pokémon Colosseum, Vaporeon possesses a snow-like visual effect surrounding its body in battle. No other Pokémon in the series has this effect. The reason for this visual effect is unknown.
  • Vaporeon is the only Eeveelution that does not share any weakness with another Eeveelution.

Concept and development

Vaporeon was designed by Atsuko Nishida.[1][2] Nishida originally designed Vaporeon to resemble a dog with fins on its legs but Ken Sugimori redesigned Vaporeon to resemble a cat and removed the fins.[1]

In Generation I, Vaporeon had a notably different design, with the backs of its ears being all black, fins on each leg, and a fin running down the entire length of its back, possibly remnants of its original dog-like design. All of these details were removed in Generation II. Notably, these details weren't present in its original Pokémon Red and Green artwork.

Origin

According to designer Atsuko Nishida, Vaporeon and especially its tail were designed with the idea of mermaids in mind.[1] It also resembles various aquatic creatures such as fish and dolphins. Its ears resemble a mix between a fish's fin and a fennec fox's ears.

Vaporeon may also be inspired by the Telchines of Greek mythology, or a pun on the catfish. Due to the fringe around its neck resembling a ruff and a lion's mane, Vaporeon may also be a possible reference to the heraldic sea-lion; or the similar-looking Merlion, a national symbol of Singapore. Its ability to become invisible and turn into water might be inspired by the Asrai. Vaporeon's resemblance to both carnivorans and cetaceans could be based on primitive whales, such as Kutchicetus.

Name origin

Vaporeon may be a combination of vapor and eon (an immeasurably long period of time, possibly referring to how long evolution takes naturally). Eon is a suffix all Eevee evolutions share and was Eevee's English prototype name.

Showers is literally showers, referring to a bathroom shower or rain shower.
