The Story

What the Pokédex says

  • Legends: Arceus

    Bristles its fur into sharp, needlelike points when enraged. One can hear electricity crackle in its breath when it exhales.

  • Shield

    It accumulates negative ions in the atmosphere to blast out 10,000-volt lightning bolts.

  • Sword

    If it is angered or startled, the fur all over its body bristles like sharp needles that pierce foes.

  • Let’s Go, Eevee!

    A sensitive Pokémon that easily becomes sad or angry. Every time its mood changes, it charges power.

12 more entries from older games
  • Ultra Moon

    Its fur stands on end, becoming like needles it fires at enemies. Once they’re weakened, it finishes them off with a 10,000 volt shock.

  • Ultra Sun

    Its lungs contain an organ that creates electricity. The crackling sound of electricity can be heard when it exhales.

  • Moon

    When its fur stands on end, that’s a sign it’s about to give off a jolt of electricity. Take care, as sometimes lightning strikes next to it, too.

  • Sun

    They send out electrical charges of about 10,000 volts. Because they are high-strung, it can be difficult to grow close to them.

  • Alpha Sapphire

    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.

  • X

    Every hair on its body starts to stand sharply on end if it becomes charged with electricity.

  • White 2

    By storing electricity in its body, it can shoot its bristlelike fur like a barrage of missiles.

  • White

    If agitated, it uses electricity to straighten out its fur and launch it in small bunches.

  • HeartGold

    It concentrates the weak electric charges emitted by its cells and launches wicked lightning bolts.

  • Pearl

    It controls 10,000-volt power and can raise all the fur on its body as if it were sharp needles.

  • Emerald

    Its cells generate weak power that is amplified by its fur’s static electricity to drop thunderbolts. The bristling fur is made of electrically charged needles.

  • Crystal

    The negatively charged ions generated in its fur create a constant sparking noise.
