Recommended moves

• Electric Attacker:Thunder Shock Thunderbolt

In the early months of Pokémon GO, Jolteon was the best Electric-type attacker. Now, it’s far from that status, being outclassed by several Electric-types.

Jolteon isn’t bad per se, but there are many better options, and with potentially OP Electric Pokémon like Miraidon coming, its position could get even worse. ⚡

⚔️ Raids

If you need more Electric-types to fill your raid team, Jolteon is still worth using due to its high Attack.

However, remember to dodge, as its bulk is quite low. 😬

🛡️ Gyms

Pure Electric Pokémon like Jolteon are only weak to Ground-type moves, but with its low bulk, Jolteon gets knocked out fairly quickly. 📉

💎 Jolteon’s best moveset for PvE is:
➡ Thunder Shock and Thunderbolt.

• Master League:Volt Switch Discharge Last Resort

🔵 Great League

Jolteon’s fast and efficient moveset makes it a dangerous addition to the Great League meta.

It can bait shields easily with the low-cost Discharge while also dealing heavy damage with Thunder’s 100 DMG.

Though Jolteon is fragile, its lightning-fast energy generation from Thunder Shock allows it to fire off Charged Moves at will. ⚡⚡⚡

As a result, Jolteon thrives as a hit-and-run attacker, posing a huge threat to any Pokémon that doesn’t resist Electric-type damage.

It’s a fun pick that clutches wins more often than not. 🙌

🟡 Ultra League

Jolteon’s offensive presence continues to threaten Water- and Flying-types in Ultra League.

However, the numerous Ground- and Dragon-types completely shut it down.

Additionally, its low bulk makes it particularly vulnerable to high-damage Fast Moves.

It’s more of a spicy pick in this format. 🥵

🟣 Master League

Jolteon is too weak to compete with the supreme powerhouses of the Master League. 🫣

💎 Jolteon’s best moveset for PvP is:
➡ Thunder Shock, Discharge, and Thunder.
