Strategy Overview
Although Jolteon's slightly higher Speed compared to Raikou might seem enticing, its barren movepool, non-existent bulk, and lack of access to Calm Mind makes it offensively outclassed by its brethren. Other very fast Pokemon such as Swellow, Ribombee, or Mega Sceptile also outclass it in its revenge killing and pivoting roles; the only unique thing it has that stands out is the ability to force switches with a combination of Yawn and Volt Switch; however, this niche is very hard to pull off and not appreciated by most teams.
