It’s certainly unconventional and would be unexpected, but I think Jolteon is just too frail to really wall on its own. Even w max Def and HP investment, it isn’t going to survive many physical hits.
It might function well in a pivot role. It gets Baton Pass and Volt Switch, so you could set up a Light Screen or a Yawn and then switch out.
A Thunder/Rain Dance/Weather Ball set might be interesting, but again it’s frailty would make it difficult to set up RD and WB is rather unreliable.
I think the easiest way to figure out what kind of set to run, though, is by looking at how it fits in w the rest of your team. Just look at what kinda of roles your team is lacking or support it could benefit from, and maybe model your Jolteon set around that.
That's true about it's frailty to wall on it's own, I guess it's just wishful thinking lol.
I like the idea of the Thunder/Rain Dance/Weather Ball set but you're right, it would be difficult to set up.
I will definitely have to look at my team and see where I can fit it in and with what set. Do you have any good team partners in mind for Jolteon in Gen 8? I can't seem to find anything online yet.
