Should I use Starmie or Vaporeon for Pokémon LeafGreen?

who is better?

In honesty, because it’s for an in-game team, just pick whichever you like best.

However, looking at things objectively,Starmie is the far superior option.Here’s why:

Dual type makes it much better when it comes to covering for your other team members. as well as being able to use 2 STAB moves.

Better stats. Starmie has high Speed and Special attack, so it is used as a sweeper. Vaporeon has a high HP, yet a low defence and a mono type water which doesn’t have many resistances and not very many stall/healing/status moves.

Starmie can be taught an multitude of effective moves such as Psychic, Thunderbolt, Ice Beam, and Surf. Vaporeon however, learns its first effective water type move at level 51 which is Hydro Pump (or Surf via hm), and other than being able to learn Shdow Ball and Ice Beam via TM, it doesnt have any intersting moves that it can learn.

BUT like I said If you prefer Vaporeon, by all means use it. Ingame isn’t much of a challenge if you know what you’re doing and you should just try to have fun with it.
