Acid Armor or Toxic?

[Mchopz]

I have a Vaporeon who has Protect, Wish, and Scald, I am wondering if it would be worth it to put Acid Armor or Toxic on it.
It's defensive stats are:
433 HP
210 DEF
201 SPDEF

I would use Toxic. I find that Toxic is good to wear some Poke's down, and Vaporeon is not exact suited for a wall, so bumping up the defenses won't do much. Plus there's other Poke's that completely out class Vaporeon in terms of a wall. However, it does make a great support Poke. Not going to provide a full moveset or anything like that, cause I'm too lazy to look up suitable movesets, I will go with Toxic as the final move slot.

Edit: Alright...I decided to provide a nice moveset.

This is the Wish support moveset from Smogon.

Vaporeon @ Leftovers
Bold nature
248 HP / 224 Def / 36 SpD

Wish
Protect
Surf
Toxic

Other options are HP Electric and Ice Beam.

Acid Armor would be best if you were going to use a Baton Pass set, but otherwise Toxic is superior.
