PvE Analysis
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.
PvP Analysis

- Great League:

🔵 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.
