Jolteon (Japanese: サンダース Thunders) is an Electric-type Pokémon.

Biology

Physiology

Jolteon is the result of exposing an Eevee to the radiation of a Thunder Stone. Jolteon is a dog-like Pokémon with 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

There are no differences between the male and female Jolteon.

Special abilities

Jolteon can use the same attacks that Eevee could use, with the addition of the ability to use Electrical attacks and Pin Missile. As a fully evolved Pokémon, Jolteon can learn Hyper Beam and Giga Impact.

Habitat

File:Urban.gif

Urban Pokémon

Jolteon usually are found near power plants. Due to the need of a Thunder Stone to evolve from Eevee, not many are found.

Diet

In the anime

Jolteon first appeared in The Battling Eevee Brothers, under the ownership of Sparky.

Ash battled against a Jolteon in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam in The Ultimate Test.

In Get Along, Little Pokémon, Ethan used a Jolteon as a "sheep dog" of sorts. Whenever any of Ethan's Magnemite tried to escape, Jolteon would use Thunder Wave to lure them back.

Jolteon was also seen under the ownership of one of the Kimono Sisters in Trouble's Brewing and Espeon Not Included.

In the manga

Pokémon Special

Red temporarily controls a Jolteon, which is actually his Eevee switching between its evolved forms.
