Joltik is a Bug/Electric-type Pokemon with base stats of 110/98/137 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 1,156. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Joltik 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.
