Wait... so you are fine with saying that Jolteon is the better choice than Magnemite but you also think that Voltorb and Jolteon should be in the same tier?

That makes no sense. Magneton and Electrode are essentially the same thing. They have the same movepool. The stat differences between Magneton and Electrode are meaningless in most instances. Magneton will be going first most of the time so it hardly matters that it's slower (and I don't think that critical hit rates should be considered in tiering considering how they can't be relied on activating at the right time, regardless of how high the rate is). Electrode is getting the same kills as Magneton most of the time so it hardly matters that it's weaker.

Either Jolteon is in a higher tier than both, or it is in the same tier as both.
