Jolteon Weakness
Jolteon's Electric typing leaves it vulnerable to Ground. Its Electric typing keeps the defensive matchups simple. Jolteon's special bulk (base 110 Special) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Ground |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Electric, Flying |
- Only 15 types exist — Dark, Steel, and Fairy are absent
- Ghost has no effect on Psychic (a known bug, fixed in Gen II)
- Special stat governs both offense and defense — no Sp.Atk / Sp.Def split
What is Jolteon Weak Against
Avg
Jolteon Evolutions
The Electric-type Jolteon caps Eevee's chain at 540 stats. No daycare options for this one. Stat-wise, Jolteon comes out 15 points ahead of Vaporeon, mostly thanks to a bigger Speed gain. View every chain in the Evolution Chart.

Y Jolteon Best Moveset
Only Alakazam outpaces 130 Speed among competitive threats, and 110 Special makes every MoveThunderbolt a genuine problem. MovePin Missile surprisingly hits Psychic-types for real damage, and MoveThunder Wave cripples what it can't finish. Speed, power, and disruption from the Electric side.
