Competitive Battling:
* Fast Move: Thunder Shock: This is the go-to fast move for Jolteon. It's fast, deals decent damage, and builds up energy quickly for Jolteon's powerful charge moves.
* Charge Moves:
* Thunderbolt: This is Jolteon's strongest charge move. It hits hard and has a chance to paralyze the opponent, making it a valuable tool for taking down opponents.
* Thunder: This move is an alternative to Thunderbolt if you need a bit more damage output, but Thunderbolt is generally preferred due to the paralysis chance.
Why these moves are ideal:
* High Damage Output: Jolteon is known for its offensive power. Thunderbolt and Thunder are extremely effective at dealing damage to both opposing Pokemon and trainers in raids.
* Paralysis: The paralysis effect from Thunderbolt can be crucial in battles, allowing Jolteon to control the pace and make it harder for opponents to attack.
* Energy Efficiency: Thunder Shock builds energy fast, enabling Jolteon to fire off charge moves frequently.
Casual Gameplay:
* The same moves (Thunder Shock, Thunderbolt) are excellent choices for casual battles and Gym defense.
* Focus Blast: While not as strong as Thunderbolt, Focus Blast is still a decent alternative for players who want more damage and don't need the paralysis effect.
Things to Consider:
* Opponent Type: Jolteon is weak to Ground, Rock, and Grass types. You may want to consider a different Pokemon if you're facing a strong opponent of these types.
* Team Composition: Think about your other team members. You might want to choose a move that complements their strengths or weaknesses.
Important Note: Jolteon's movepool can be modified with the help of Elite TM's. This allows players to change its moveset to suit their needs.
