DISCLAIMERS ON FORMATS COVERED:
Notice I said POPULAR formats, meaning a format where there is a significant amount of people who compete in it for tournaments and so on and so forth. Now Popular does not mean official even though two of the formats I will be covering were official formats being Japan Nintendo Cup and VGC, but it is an indicator of what a good portion of competitive players thought was “optimal” at the time. Also sometimes the Pokemon Battle Historia doesn't provide enough information to talk about certain Pokemon so I add Smogon analysis to make sense of it. This is pretty rare though.
To the people asking why I don't cover Smogon Singles for Gens 1 and 2: It wouldn't really be a history video if I covered those because online Smogon gen 1 meta to my knowledge wasn't actually played until late 2000s. I wanted to cover tournaments/competitive battling that was actually played during the early years of Pokemon (late 90s).
To the people asking why I cover Smogon at all for singles: To my knowledge, Smogon was the most popular format for Gens 3-5 and held a number of tournaments throughout the years. As for Gen 6, I am not covering Battle Spot Singles because there is more information and explanations about sets being used relative to their own meta on Smogon. In other words, there are few written analyses about Battle Spot Pokemon besides the Top tiers and I would like to avoid theorycrafting because it may have a hint of bias (though I theorycraft if I REALLY couldn't find information on a certain Pokemon). The keyword here is explanations. Though I did find statistics of most Pokemon used and most moves used, there wasn't really any explanations on why. Also the few Pokemon I did find analysis of for Top Tier Battle Spot Singles had very similar move sets to the Smogon OU sets anyway.
For the record, I do not care what rules or formats people play their battles by nor am I saying these formats are the only formats that should be played. The way you play Pokemon is between you and your opponent and I will not fault you for using evasion or whatever, I just like examining popular tournament formats.

Hey, did you know that in terms of solo pure physical Pokémon Yellow challenge, Vaporeon is the worst matchup for your Pokémon? Not only are they in no egg group, because Yellow had no Pokémon breeding, Vaporeon are an average of 3"03' tall and 63.9 pounds. this means they're large enough to be able to handle Body Slams, and with their impressive Base stats for HP and access to Acid Armor, you can't even three-shot with Seismic Toss. Due to their mostly water based biology, there's no doubt in my mind that a STAB Hydro Pump Vaporeon would be incredibly powerful, you could easily lose to one for hours without getting progress. They can also learn the moves Haze, Mist, Aurora Beam and Quick Attack along with not having Physical weaknesses to exploit, so it'd be incredibly easy for one to carry the Rival battles. No other Pokémon comes close with this level of difficulty. Also, fun fact, if you get frustrated enough, you can make your knuckles turn white. Vaporeon is literally built to crush physical attackers. Ungodly defense stat + high HP pool + Acid Armor means it can take physical attacks all day, all types and BP and still come for more.

Hey guys, did you know that Vaporeon is a Water-type Pokemon introduced in Generation 1? Vaporeon is number 134 in the National Dex, and a member of the Field egg group. It evolves from Eevee when exposed to a Water Stone. Vaporeon has a base stat total of 525, as do all Eeveelutions, and it has the ability Water Absorb. Vaporeon learns various strong moves, such as Aurora Beam, Surf, and Acid Armor. Vaporeon is a blue Pokemon with a quadruped build, weighing in at 64 pounds and standing 1 meter tall. Vaporeon's design is inspired by dogs, foxes, mermaids, dolphins, and fish. Vaporeon is able to hide in water due to its chemical makeup being similar to water, according to various Pokedex entries. Vaporeon is the only Eeveelution in Generation 1 that is not weak to Ground-type attacks. Many Trainers like Vaporeon for its design, which mixes cool and cute, as well as its good stats and movepool.

[@farmerwithshotgun5166]

@cheezywiz2 IDK about that, Glaceon could at least use its better attack stat properly.

[@gabrieltyranitar647]

Generation 1 - Flareon had one of better attacking stats in the game, but only Normal and Fire-types for attack. It was easily countered by Rhydon and Golem, and almost all Water-types (with the possible exception of Cloyster) also checks it. Body Slam and Fire Blast are its better attacking options. The paralyze effect of Body Slam is great in Generation 1. Otherwise, its best options are Quick Attack (the only priority move of Generation 1, and also helps its low Speed), Hyper Beam (don't need a recharge turn if defeats an enemy). Fire Spin can be a option, but due to its awful accuracy and Flareon's low Speed, is a discharded choice. Mimic is an option. If you have lucky, can copy Rhydon and Golem's Earthquake, as well Lapras and Starmie's Thunderbolt. Generation 2 - Flareon lost 15 points in its Special Attack with the split. However, Flareon received a buff in its movepool. Shadow Ball is an option for Psychic-types, Gengar and even Misdreavus. Growth is the only move that raises Special Attack in Generation 2, and can be combined with Hidden Power, Bite and Fire Blast. Hidden Power Water or Grass are the better options against Rhydon and Golem. Hidden Power Fighting is the best option against Tyranitar. Hidden Power Grass or Electric are the better options against Water-types. Otherwise, the best option is Quick Attack, whose retains the only priority move, aside from the signature move Mach Punch from Hitmonchan (though Hitmonlee and Hitmontop can still get it). Body Slam and Return are other options. Zap Cannon, despite its terrible accuracy, can be useful for paralyzing the foe. Charm sharply lowers the foe's Speed. Baton Pass is an option for Growth or Curse. The Endure/Flail combo can be also useful, but Flareon is slow. Yawn can be used, but unfortunately it has poor Speed. Generation 3 - Outside of Wish and Overheat, Flareon received the ability Flash Fire. The Toxic mechanic also has changed to make it useful. Generation 4 - Stealth Rock and Waterfall/Aqua Tail users hampered the life of Flareon. Aside from this, its only physical STAB move is Fire Fang. Despite this, Lava Plume has 30% chance of burning the foe, while Will-O-Wisp gives it a free burn in the foe. Superpower is an option for Rock-types. Generation 5 - Flareon received Guts from Dream World, while raises Attack by 50% under any status ailment. With this, aside from its very high Attack, Flareon can use Facade perfectly. Flame Charge is an option to raise Speed. Generation 6 - Flareon finally gets Flare Blitz, but nothing aside from this.

It is (sadly) horrible. It doesn't really have any great stats except it's Attack and Speed. It's straight up useless until Gen 4 where it gets Toxic Spikes, Defog and U-turn.

[@gamerguy6425]

Hey guys, did you know that in terms of Water-Type Pokemon and teambuilding versatility, Vaporeon is my favorite Pokemon? Not only is it in the Field egg group which allows for an amazing egg movepool, Vaporeon has a Base HP of 130 and Base Special Defense of 95, which means they’re bulky enough to be able to handle special sweepers and with their impressive Base Stat for HP and a comparatively solid Base Defense, this means they can tank rough attacks. Due to their singular Water typing, there’s no doubt in my mind that a minmaxed Vaporeon would be incredibly bulky. So bulky that you could easily switch on prediction for turns without getting swept. They can also learn the moves Wish, Substitute, Heal Bell, Toxic, and Scald, along with having Haze to prevent setup, so it’d be incredibly easy for one to tank for your team. With their abilities Water Absorb and Hydration, they can easily recover damage with enough strategy. No other Pokemon comes close to this level of versatility. Also, fun fact, Vaporeon has the highest HP Stat of all Eeveelutions. Vaporeon is literally built to tank on switch. Rock-solid Defense stats + high HP Pool + Acid Armor means it can take attacks all day, all shapes and sizes, and still come for more.

*How GOOD was Persian ACTUALLY PLEASE?*

[@Izaya-472]

Gen 1: I was in the UU the only thing it had was that it was faster then Tauros and was only good when the opposing team was disabled. Gen 2: It was severely nerfed due to how critical hits where changed that made Hyper Beam useless. It was still a decent UU Pokemon the only thing that hurt it was Rock and the introduction of steal Pokemon. It had a bit of more time to shine since Tauros was banned in UU and not good enough to be an OU Pokemon (basically in the Black Listed tier). Gen 3: It was outclassed by better normal types due to its stats that were starting to become average since it could not deal that much damage and it could not take too much damage. He was okayish Pokemon in UU since he was the fastest Hypnosis user. Same counters as before especially Golem who is now a UU Pokemon. Gen 4: Outclassed by Ambipom in most UU teams. The only thing it had over it was were its slightly higher special attack and access to attack Hypnosis and Switcheroo. He also received Nasty Plot and the new ability Technician gave him a bit of a boost as a special sweeper and scout. Gen 5: Now in the NU tier and is outclassed by Liepard as a scout due to Prankster. Persian was okayish niche Pokemon in NU due to Fake Out, U-turn, and its good Speed. It was used a bit in VGC12 supposedly due to its new ability unnerve (which helped counter teams that held berries which were very common in the VGC Meta) and outpaced most of the Fake Out users. Gen 6: Got demoted to the PU tier. It is the fastest Pokemon in PU however when it comes to being a normal physical attacker it is outclassed by Purugly due to its attack stat and ability defiant.Outside of that Persian is decent Nasty plot user. Gen 7: Normal Persian is the same just with Normalium Z. His Alola form is slightly better and now currently in the RU tier. It's alola form was used a bit in VGC17 alola only dex due to it's speed which outspeeds most of the nonchoice scarf users, movepool (parting shot, snarl, fake out, foul play etc,) and its ability Fur Coat which gave it some physical bluk.

[@TheMissingLink2]

I love Persian. Very underrated pokemon. It may lack bulk but if it had it, it would easily be one of the best pokemon. I have ruined many a person's day running persian with many gimmicks up it sleeves.

[@jennyrae8771]

The Missing Link Awesome! I agree Persian would be one of the best mons if it had more bulk for sure! Persian is usually the last Pokemon I use that finishes the job rather nicely as it has a decent movepool that can cover most of its weaknesses (at least in the 1st and 2nd gen since those are the two I play competitive) and I don't have to worry about defense to much as long as I can KO the rest that are disabled or weakened/slower.

[@ryandennison8754]

Flareon was actually decent in Gen 1. Special Attack and Special Defense were one stat in that generation, so every Eeveelution's Special stat was 110, including Flareon's. In comparison to what came to be a 95 Special Attack stat (fuck you Game Freak) this meant that it could attack super hard on both physical and special fronts. Plus, in the first generation, Dig had a power of 100, and there was no such thing as Levitate to avoid it; only Flying types were safe from it.

Angelo Marasigan Every Pokemon is usable. I could stick a focus sash on spinarak and have him function as a lead with the sole purpose of setting sticky web. But why do that when it's much better Pokemon that can fulfill that role...

[@kazooha8174]

Hey guys, did you know that in terms of human companionship, Flareon is objectively the most huggable Pokémon? While their maximum temperature is likely too much for most, they are capable of controlling it, so they can set themselves to the perfect temperature for you. Along with that, they have a lot of fluff, making them undeniably incredibly soft to touch. But that's not all, they have a very respectable special defense stat of 110, which means that they are likely very calm and resistant to emotional damage. Because of this, if you have a bad day, you can vent to it while hugging it, and it won't mind. It can make itself even more endearing with moves like Charm and Baby Doll Eyes, ensuring that you never have a prolonged bout of depression again.

Hey guys, did you know that in terms of human-pokémon companionship, Vaporeon is the most compatible friend for humans? It keeps all of Eevee’s perks and adds a couple more. Since it’s a water type, Vaporeon is the most friendly and playful one of the eevee-lut-ion-s (and some of them are also really calm and relaxed, so there’s variety too). It’s also the only one without any fur, so you don’t have to worry about it. This bad boy/girl also can pack a pretty wide moveset, and can protect your loved ones when needed, and don’t forget that it’s a water type, which can carry you around with surf or make sure your kids are safe when you’re at the beach. But that’s not all, it can also learn moves like scald or ice beam, which, with a little training can come in handy if it’s too hot or cold outside (think of it like a sprinkler). And last but not least, it’s super squishy to the touch, and nice to hug.

Due to their mostly water based biology, there’s no doubt in my mind that a captivated Vaporeon would have incredibly wet lips, so wet that you could easily kiss one for hours without wanting to stop. They can also learn the moves Attract, Baby-Doll Eyes, Captivate, Charm, and Tail Whip, along with not having fur to hide their smile, so it’d be incredibly easy to fall in love with one. With their abilities Water Absorb and Hydration, they can easily have as many sloppy kisses as you desire. Few other Pokémon comes close to this level of sweetness. Also, fun fact, if you hold one for long enough, you can make your Vaporeon's cheeks turn red. Vaporeon is literally built for a human's heart.
