Jolteon (Japanese: サンダース Thunders) is an Electric-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves from Eevee when exposed to a Thunder Stone. It is one of Eevee's final forms, the others being Vaporeon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon, and Sylveon.

Biology

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, and crackles of electricity can often be heard when Jolteon exhales. 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.

Trivia

  • In English, the category "Lightning Pokémon" is shared by Jolteon and Electrike.
    • In Japanese, Jolteon has the category "かみなりポケモン" (Lightning Pokémon), while Electrike has the category "いなずまポケモン" (Lightning Pokémon).
  • Jolteon's and Zapdos's Japanese names are almost exactly the same as each other's, with a final s being the only difference.
  • Jolteon was designed by Motofumi Fujiwara.[1]

Origin

Jolteon's physical anatomy seems to be primarily based on a herding dog or possibly a fennec fox, with several traits of coyotes. Its extremely high speed resembles that of a cheetah's. Additionally, it may have been inspired by the raijū, a beast from Japanese mythology whose body is made of lightning, and may take the form of a cat.

Name origin

Jolteon is a combination of jolt and eon (an immeasurably long period of time, possibly referring to how long evolution takes naturally). Eon is a suffix all Eevee evolutions share and was Eevee's English prototype name.

Thunders is literally thunders (present tense of the verb to thunder).
