Sumomo's Vaporeon was first seen when Team Rocket disrupted the Kimono Sisters' tea ceremony, but didn't battle until it matched up against Misty and Poliwhirl. The Pokémon were well matched, but Vaporeon defeated Poliwhirl with its Aurora Beam. Vaporeon's known moves are Tackle, Sand Attack, Quick Attack, Water Gun, and Aurora Beam, and its Poké Ball is a Lure Ball, matching Sumomo's kimono pattern.
