Flavor Text

: If agitated, it uses electricity to straighten out its fur and launch it in small bunches.
: By storing electricity in its body, it can shoot its bristlelike fur like a barrage of missiles.

: Every hair on its body starts to stand sharply on end if it becomes charged with electricity.
: It accumulates negative ions in the atmosphere to blast out 10,000-volt lightning bolts.
: Jolteon’s cells generate a low level of electricity. This power is amplified by the static electricity of its fur, enabling the Pokémon to drop thunderbolts. The bristling fur is made of electrically charged needles.

: They send out electrical charges of about 10,000 volts. Because they are high-strung, it can be difficult to grow close to them.
: When its fur stands on end, that’s a sign it’s about to give off a jolt of electricity. Take care, as sometimes lightning strikes next to it, too.
: Its lungs contain an organ that creates electricity. The crackling sound of electricity can be heard when it exhales.
: Its fur stands on end, becoming like needles it fires at enemies. Once they’re weakened, it finishes them off with a 10,000 volt shock.
