Hey Bill~ So a very long story short, my Eevee that I was planning to evolve into a Jolteon got into a spot of trouble and ended up a Vaporeon! He’s not unhappy about it and the rest of my team have had no issue adjusting to the change either, but the problem is that all my other pokemon are electric types!! What’s the best way that I can keep training Vaporeon along with the rest of them given the type difference? I don’t want him to get hurt but I don’t want him to feel left out either~

If you’ve got a pokémon with the special ability Lightning Rod, ensure your vaporeon sticks to them as much as possible. That should keep him safe, regardless of what happens during training. Additionally, take this as a blessing in disguise of sorts: use your vaporeon’s newfound strengths to your advantage. (That is to say, partner your vaporeon up with your other electric-types on the battlefield, as electric’s biggest weakness, ground, is no match to your vaporeon’s water-based abilities.) Finally, if possible, obtain and grow wacan berries, as these can decrease the effectiveness of electric-type attacks. Your vaporeon may benefit from holding them during training sessions as extra protection.

Otherwise, the only advice I can offer is be extra vigilant about keeping an eye on your team and ensuring that their abilities are kept in check. I know that’s not particularly helpful advice, but it’s probably the most practical for this situation, I’m afraid—terribly sorry about this!

Best of luck, anonymous!
