Strategy Overview
Joltik is a bit of a mixed bag; on one hand, it has a good STAB move combination, only two weaknesses, and access to a speedy Volt Switch. On the other hand, it finds itself outclassed as an Electric-type by Chinchou and Magnemite. It does have a few redeeming qualities, however, such as its resistance to Fighting-type attacks, neutrality to Ground-type attacks, and ability to punish Chinchou with Giga Drain. No other Electric-type in Little Cup shares this unique combination of traits, which gives Joltik a small niche in Little Cup.
