Trainer Tips

Jolteon is a Electric-type Pokemon with a stat total of 577. With its high Attack stat (232), Jolteon is best suited for offensive roles in both raids and PvP.

Watch out for Ground-type moves when using Jolteon. These types deal super effective damage that can cut into Jolteon's performance.

Jolteon's moves get a damage boost in Rainy weather. Take advantage of weather conditions to maximize your DPS in raids and gym battles.

Unlocking a second charged move costs 75,000 Stardust and 75 Candy. With 5 charged moves available, a second move gives Jolteon much better coverage in PvP battles.

Verdict

Collector's Pick
Jolteon is a Electric-type Pokemon with base stats of 232/182/163 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 3,265. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Jolteon may shine during specific events, in limited-format cups, or when new moves are added in future updates. For now, hold onto a good IV specimen but save your Stardust and Candy for more impactful investments unless you're a dedicated fan of this Pokemon.
