Gym attackers, jolteon

Evolving eevee will inevitably result in your getting a number of jolteon in the end. I suggest that you evolve just about everything with over 700 CP no matter the IV.

Trash the flareon you don't need, and if you're getting an excessive amount of vaporeon start trashing those with low IV.

Jolteon, however, is nice to have in the double digits. You should end up with a fair number of them between CP 1800 and CP 2300.


This pokemon comes with a surprisingly good base attack stat, 232, decent defence and atrocious stamina.

It fills two purposes. Slugging through vaporeon and slaughtering gyarados. Kind of works against those occasional lapras you encounter in gyms as well.


Primary attacks are Thunder Shock and Volt Switch. The former a fast attack that also powers up your charge attack at a good rate. Volt Switch is slow and with marginally better DPS than Thunder Shock.

Since jolteon lacks a decent HP bulk I recommend Thunder Shock, but both attacks are servicable.


Charge attacks are Discharge, Thunder and Thunderbolt.

Discharge is a defensive attack, so let's forget it.

Thunder is a one bar, fast attack, and by a wide margin the best for attacking.

If you don't have the number of jolteon you want, you can keep those with Thunderbolt as well. It's definitely not as good as Thunder, but it gets the job done against gyardos.


I recommed an attacking jolteon with Thunder Shock and Thunder.


Jolteon is a special purpose attacker. If your target isn't water and/or flying, just don't use jolteon. There are better options.

The reason to have a big bunch of jolteon lying around is that you just switch in the next one as they get beat up. Then, when you're replenishing your bag after a session of catching pokemon, just use the crap revives and potions you get. Works like a wonder when you're idling by a couple of lures as well.
