Strategy Overview
Jolteon establishes itself as a premier fast pivot with its great Speed and solid power. Its fast Volt Switch makes it an easy candidate on VoltTurn teams, and its adequate coverage with Alluring Voice and Shadow Ball discourages specially bulky Pokemon like Virizion and Mesprit from switching into it. Jolteon's decent set variety means it can be a deadly Calm Mind sweeper or a dangerous wallbreaker with Choice Specs. Jolteon's defensive utility with Volt Absorb and passable special bulk also makes it a situational switch-in to special attackers like Articuno and opposing Jolteon. However, the lacking power of its coverage moves causes it to struggle quite hard against specially defensive Pokemon like Snorlax as well as Ground-types like Sandaconda. Said Ground-types make Jolteon quite reliant on Terastalization to bypass its checks, which causes it to demand for more team support.
