Jolteon (#135) is a Electric-type Pokémon from the Kanto region (Generation 1) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 3,304 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Jolteon is a strong competitor in various formats. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Jolteon in 2026.
Jolteon's Attack stat is 232 (Excellent). This is a competitive Attack stat that makes Jolteon a strong damage dealer.
With 182 Defense (Excellent) and 163 Stamina (Good), the total stat product is 577. This gives Jolteon reasonable durability in battle. Compared to other Electric-type Pokémon, Jolteon's stat distribution leans toward offense.
The best moveset for Jolteon depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Thunder Shock (Fast) with Discharge (Charged) for maximum DPS. This takes advantage of STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) which provides a 20% damage boost for matching-type moves.
For PvP (GO Battle League), energy generation and coverage matter more than raw DPS. Jolteon has 2 Fast Attacks and 5 Charged Attacks to choose from. Note that Jolteon has Elite TM moves that may outperform standard options in certain formats.
In Great League, Jolteon can be a viable pick. For Great League, lower Attack IVs (like 0/15/15) are preferred to maximize stat product under 1500 CP. The Electric typing provides useful matchups against Electric, Flying, Steel-type threats while being weak to Ground types.
In Master League, Jolteon faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
Jolteon appears as a high-tier Raid Boss. Focus on Ground-type counters for maximum damage. With strong counters, 2-3 trainers can defeat it. After the raid, catch Jolteon at Level 20 (1,574 - 1,650 CP) or Level 25 with weather boost (1,967 - 2,063 CP). A 100% IV (hundo) will have exactly 1,650 CP.
Jolteon can be found in the wild, hatched from Eggs, obtained through Research tasks, and during events. In Rainy weather, it receives a spawn boost. The buddy distance is 5km per candy — use Pinap Berries for double candy when catching.
Jolteon is part of a 9-stage evolution family:
Tip: For PvP, check IV spreads before evolving (low Attack, high Defense/Stamina). For raids, aim for 15/15/15 perfect IVs.
