Jolteon
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Jolteon is a electric-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Speed — at 525 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with top speed tier (base 130) and a special attacking profile. Its Volt Absorb ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Jolteon. Build around what Jolteon actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
