Jolteon (サンダース Thunders in Japanese, Blitza in German, and Voltali in French) is a fictional species of the Pokémon franchise.

Jolteon's name is derived from jolt, a sharp movement most beings experience when being electrically shocked. The -eon element is common to all Eevee evolutions. Its Japanese name refers to thunder, the sound that accompanies lightning.

Its German Name, Blitza, comes from the German word for thunder ("blitz").

Appearance

Jolteon is a quadruped that bears traits of dogs, foxes, and cats. It is covered with spiky, bright yellow fur, with white spiky fur surrounding its neck. Its fur sparks with electricity, and it is able to use its spiky fur as a weapon.

Jolteon and the other eeveelutions also bear a resemblance to rabbits, which would make sense because before lab rats, many scientists experimented on rabbits.

Biology

Jolteon is able to gather negative ions from the atmosphere, using the resulting electricity to create lightning bolts of up to 10,000 volts. Its individual cells also create small electrical charges on their own, which combined with the static electricity caused by its body can result in powerful Electric-type attacks.

Jolteon is typically a sensitive Pokémon. It is said that it charges more, each time its mood changes.Jolteon is a pokemon in which, rather than blood, has electricity running through it's veins. This charges up Jolteon, and it can reach incredible speeds when running. It is among the fastest pokemon. Its fur, which is normally soft to the touch, turns into sharp needles when it is angered. It can fire these needles at it's oponnent.

In the video games

Jolteon cannot be caught in any of the Pokémon games. It must be evolved from Eevee with a Thunder Stone. Therefore, Jolteon's availability depends directly on the availability of Eevee.

Jolteon has incredibly high Speed, which coupled with its high Special Attack and Special Defense, make it a quick, strong Electric-type Pokémon. It is one of the most-used Pokémon of its type.

Before the realease of Pokemon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, the Psychic-type Pokemon ruled the comepetive field because they only had two weaknesses: Bug-types and ghost-types (although at the time the only ghost-types were dual type with poison). However, the only Bug-type with the Bug-type moves was Beedrill, who was also weak against the Psychics due to its dual Poison-type. Jolteon could learn Bug-type Pin Missile naturally, making it a good choice for a Psychic slayer, although a STABed thunderbolt still did more damage. Now, a Jolteon can be bred to learn Crunch, a Dark-type move that takes advantage of its high Special Attack.

With the introduction of Hidden Power, Jolteon is even more powerful, being able to take out Swampert with HP grass, and dragon types with HP Ice.

In the anime

Jolteon's first appearance in the Pokémon anime was in Episode 40, The Battling Eevee Brothers. In this episode, Ash's party comes upon a family of four brothers who all have Eevee evolutions. The three older brothers have Flareon, Jolteon, and Vaporeon, and they are pressuring their youngest brother Mike to evolve his Eevee, too. What they fail to notice is that he doesn't want to. When Team Rocket steals all of the Pokémon, however, Mike proves that his Eevee doesn't need evolving by beating Team Rocket when his brothers' Pokémon couldn't.

In Episode 56, The Ultimate Test!, Ash and his friends participate in the Pokémon League Admission Exam, part of which is battling using random Pokémon. Ash ends up using an Arbok while battling a Jolteon. Arbok's Wrap attack is stopped short by Jolteon's spiky fur, and then the snake Pokémon is knocked out by a Thunder attack.

A Magnemite rancher, who uses the small Pokémon to gather electricity from thunderstorms in Episode 103, Get Along, Little Pokémon!, has a Jolteon that acts as a sheep dog for the Magnemite.
