Strategy Overview

With a blistering base 130 Speed, Jolteon outspeeds the entire unboosted RU metagame, barring Accelgor. In combination with its respectable base 110 Special Attack, this makes Jolteon a great choice for any team desiring a late-game cleaner and revenge killer. Volt Absorb allows Jolteon to block Volt Switch, making it a great tool to kill off opposing momentum. On the downside, base 110 Special Attack is good but not great, so dedicated special walls give Jolteon a hard time. It is also extremely frail both physically and specially, making it vulnerable to revenge killing from priority attackers and Choice Scarf users. Nonetheless, Jolteon's offensive versatility means it is worthy of a spot on nearly any offensive or balanced team.
