Jolteon Legends: Arceus Guide
In Legends: Arceus, Don't let Jolteon's 525 base stat total fool you. Volt Absorb is what makes it tick. It punches way above its weight class. We rate it B-Tier as a sweeper. Thunderbolt with Choice Specs is the standard set.
In Legends: Arceus, watch for Rhydon (Ground) when using Jolteon. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Only 1 weakness means fewer dedicated counters to worry about.
In Legends: Arceus, Run Volt Absorb on Jolteon. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Jolteon also gets Quick Feet, but they don't compare. With base 130 Speed, Volt Absorb gives Jolteon an edge before opponents can react.
In Legends: Arceus, Jolteon fills the sweeper role. It's a special attacker with base 110 Sp. Atk. Base 130 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.
In Legends: Arceus, run Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball, Volt Switch, and Hypervoice on Jolteon. Thunderbolt is the most common pick at 0% usage. Thunderbolt provides reliable STAB damage.
