How to beat Vaporeon in Pokemon Go?
Vaporeon is both common and powerful making him one of the popular Gym Battle Pokemon's. Many believe that Vaporeon is overpowered especially given how common Eevee is. This is likely due to speed being less of a parameter in Pokemon Go! This leads Pokemon like Vaporeon who have a large amount of hit points and have strong attacks to take over quickly.
That said no Pokemon is unbeatable and the trick with beating powerful Pokemon is to find the right Type against them.
The trick with Vaporeon and all water pokemon is to use a grass Pokemon. Grass Pokemon have a defensive and offensive advantage against water Pokemon making them by far the best to take them on. In previous games Water attacks were cut in half when used against a Grass Pokemon and the effect of Grass Attacks were DOUBLED!!!
Which Grass Pokemon to use?
You want to know why Vaporeon is sitting on top of so many gyms look no further than how rare and unpopular the grass Pokemon. Which one do you build? Any one you can. I have seen a variety of Water Pokemon doing very well in Pokemon Go and I think it has to do with how few built up Grass Pokemon there are.
Make sure you pick a Grass Pokemon that also has Grass Attacks. This gives the Pokemon advantages in both attacking and defending. This will make it extremely competitive against Vaporeon.
