Jolteon's blistering Speed allows it to revenge kill weakened targets and reliably pivot with Volt Switch. This Speed comes with the caveat that Jolteon's coverage is unreliable at times, and it has heavy competition with other Electric-types; Rotom-F and Lanturn threaten Ground-types more effectively, and Rotom-S and Togedemaru have better defensive typings. Shadow Ball is Jolteon's best coverage option, allowing it to dent some Electric-immune or -resistant targets such as Togedemaru, Golurk, and Gourgeist-S. Toxic debilitates walls like Piloswine and Quagsire that may try and switch into Jolteon to prevent it from pivoting. Alternatively, Hyper Voice is another coverage option that can guarantee a 2HKO on Rotom-F and Rocky Helmet Sandaconda.
Jolteon fits best on offensive VoltTurn teams that appreciate its Speed as a reliable revenge killer and offensive pivot. Pair it with additional pivots such as Silvally-Water, Wishiwashi, and Flapple, as these can help deal with Piloswine and Sandaconda so Jolteon can use Volt Switch freely. Wallbreakers like Toxicroak and Perrserker also make good teammates, as they break special walls such as Clefairy and Lanturn that shrug off Jolteon's attacks. Jolteon effectively pressures physical walls such as Cofagrigus, Sandaconda, and Garbodor, so pair it with cleaners such as Rapidash, Silvally Dark, and Choice Scarf Sawk that need these walls weakened before they can sweep; conversely, these teammates can help pressure Galarian Stunfisk and Ferroseed so that Jolteon can clean late-game instead. Entry hazards, specifically Spikes from Garbodor and Ferroseed, help put more targets like Sandaconda and Abomasnow into 2HKO range from Jolteon's Shadow Ball.
