Jolteon (Pokémon)
Revision as of 16:12, 4 June 2009 by Metal $onic(talk | contribs)(Undo revision 778644 by Zen Coyote (Talk) All of the Eeveelutions have the same stance. And puncuate your sentences.)
Jolteon is the result of exposing an Eevee to the radiation of a Thunderstone. Jolteon is a dog-like Pokémon with a very short tail, and yellow fur that has the sharpness of needles (Glaceon shares this same trait, but it's not as obvious). Jolteon also has a white, spiky collar.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Jolteon can use the same attacks that Eevee could use, with the addition of the ability to use electrical attacks, as well as Double Kick and Pin Missile. As a fully evolved Pokémon, Jolteon can learn Hyper Beam and Giga Impact.
Behavior
Jolteon can easily have changes of mood. Every time that occurs, it charges power. If startled or angered, it can shoot out bristles that are sharp enough to pierce opponents.
Jolteon's cells generate a low level of electricity. This power is amplified by the static electricity of its fur, enabling the Pokémon to drop thunderbolts. The bristling fur is made of electrically charged needles.

Jolteon is the lightest, tied with Glaceon for the shortest, and has the highest Speed base stat of the Eeveelutions.
Jolteon is the only Eevee evolution without a tail. Oddly, it can still learn Tail Whip and Iron Tail, due to Eevee having a tail. However, the spikes at the end of its back may be considered a tail.
Jolteon shares the same species name with Electrike. They are both known as Lightning Pokémon.
Jolteon's name is a corruption of jolt. Its Japanese name is a corruption of thunder, which happens to be Zapdos' Japanese name. Eon was Eevee's prototype name, which Jolteon evolves from.
In other languages
German: Blitza - From Blitz (lightning). Ends with -a like every Eeveelution in German.
