Jolteon is listed as a Electric type in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Jolteon fits in a VGC team.
The most common build highlights Volt Absorb, Focus Sash and Timid 2/0/0/32/0/32. Its frequent moves include Thunderbolt, Fake Tears, Protect, Electroweb, and Alluring Voice. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.
Defensively, Jolteon has important weaknesses to ground 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as froslass-mega, garchomp, sneasler, arcanine-hisui, and hydreigon appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
