Vaporeon has no raid or PvP ranking right now. Keep a high-IV one for the Pokedex and for future move updates or limited-format cups, and spend your Stardust elsewhere.

Bulk-leaning spread (161 Defense / 277 Stamina) — it stays on the field longer, which suits shielded PvP formats.
A second charged move costs 75,000 Dust and 75 Candy, and with 6 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
Its moves get a damage boost in Rainy weather — worth timing raids around.
