Jolteon(JP) is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a Electric-type Pokémon that made its first appearance in the first generation games Red and Blue. It evolves from Eevee when exposed from Thunder Stone.

Physiology and Behaviour[]

Jolteon is a quadrupedal, mammalian Pokémon. It is covered in yellow fur with a spiky fringe around its tail and a white ruff around its neck. Its ears are large and pointed with black interiors, and its eyes and small nose are black. It has slender legs and small paws, each with three toes and a pink paw-pad.

Jolteon's prickly fur is made of electrically charged needles and generates negatively charged ions, which create a sparking noise as it moves. It also has an electricity-generating organ in its lungs. The static electricity in its fur amplifies the low-level electricity generated by its cells and allow it to discharge 10,000-volt lightning bolts. This Pokémon is most often found in cities and towns under the ownership of Trainers. However, its high-strung nature and tendency toward mood swings can make it difficult to train.

In the anime[]

In Pokémon Origins, Red owned a Jolteon. In File 2: Cubone, Red's Jolteon was first sent out to battle a Team Rocket Grunt's Koffing. It eventually defeated Koffing with a Thunderbolt, forcing the Grunts to retreat. In File 3: Giovanni, Jolteon battled Giovanni's Rhyhorn during Red's Gym battle. In File 4: Charizard, Jolteon was used at the Indigo Plateau.

Jolteon appeared in the last two episodes of Pokémon Evolutions. In The Show, under the ownership of Sayo. It was used in the Kimono Girls' performance of the destruction of the Brass Tower, where it represented the lightning that set the tower on fire. Another Jolteon appeared in The Discovery, under the ownership of Trace. He used it to fend off a swarm of Zubat in Cerulean Cave.

Origin and inspiration[]

Jolteon's physical anatomy seems to be primarily based on a herding dog or possibly a fennec fox, with several traits of coyotes. It also resembles jackrabbits and other types of hares, or felines such as the serval and the cheetah; the latter is known for being the fastest land animal, which may be alluded to with Jolteon's speed. Its needle-like fur may derive from porcupines, while its ability to launch its fur may be inspired by the myth that porcupines are able to shoot out their quills when threatened.

Jolteon may be a combination of jolt and eon.
