Jolteon

Lightning Pokémon

Electric

JOLTEON’s cells generate a low level of electricity. This power is amplified by the static electricity of its fur, enabling the POKéMON to drop thunderbolts. The bristling fur is made of electrically charged needles.

Strategy Overview

With base 110 Special Attack and base 130 Speed, Jolteon can both force numerous switches to rack up damage from Spikes early-game and act as a cleaner late-game. Thanks to Volt Absorb and decent Special Defense, it can also act as a pivot against numerous special attackers including Gengar, Zapdos, and to a lesser extent Starmie, though it can be crippled by all forms of status.
