Vaporeon

About

Vaporeon is a first-generation Water type Pokémon that resembles a mixture between a cat, a fox, and a fish. In addition to being a popular fan art subject, a copypasta from 4chan describing Vaporeon’s supposed sexual compatibility with humans became known in the late 2010s and early 2020s for its unsettling nature.

Origin

Vaporeon debuted in Japan as the 134th Pokémon in Pokémon Red and Blue on February 27th, 1996. It was introduced to a larger audience with worldwide releases of the game between September and October 1998. As one of the three original “Eeveelutions” of the Pokémon Eevee, Vaporeon is obtained by exposing Eevee to a Water Stone.

Vaporeon Copypasta

A copypasta describing Vaporeon’s supposed sexual compatibility with humans was posted on 4chan’s Pokémon-dedicated board /vp/ on December 4th, 2018.^[4] In the copypasta, the author explains how they believe a female Vaporeon’s physical characteristics and movepool make it the most ideal Pokémon for sexual intercourse with human males.

Hey guys, did you know that in terms of male human and female Pokémon breeding, Vaporeon is the most compatible Pokémon for humans? Not only are they in the field egg group, which is mostly comprised of mammals, Vaporeon are an average of 3"03' tall and 63.9 pounds. this means they're large enough to be able to handle human d--ks, and with their impressive Base Stats for HP and access to Acid Armor, you can be rough with one. Due to their mostly water based biology, there's no doubt in my mind that an aroused Vaporeon would be incredibly wet, so wet that you could easily have sex with one for hours without getting sore. They can also learn the moves Attract, Baby-Doll Eyes, Captivate, Charm, and Tail Whip, along with not having fur to hide nipples, so it'd be incredibly easy for one to get you in the mood. With their abilities Water Absorb and Hydration, they can easily recover from fatigue with enough water. No other Pokémon comes close to this level of compatibility. Also, fun fact, if you pull out enough, you can make your Vaporeon turn white.
