Its cells generate weak power that is amplified by its fur's static electricity to drop thunderbolts. The bristling fur is made of electrically charged needles.
Biology
Physiology
Jolteon is a quadruped, 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, and its eyes and small nose are black. It has slender legs and small paws, each with three toes and a pink paw pad.
Special abilities
In addition to the ability to become sharp like needles, Jolteon's fur also amplifies the electrical charges produced by its cells. It can also store and generate negative ions in its fur, which create a sparking noise.
Behavior and Habitat
This Pokémon is most often found in cities and towns under the ownership of Trainers.
Jolteon shares characteristics with foxes (especially the fennec fox), cats, and dogs. It may draw inspiration from the raijū, a creature in Japanese mythology whose body is made of lightning and that may take the shape of a cat, fox, or wolf.
Name origin
Jolteon comes from jolt (as in jolt of electricity) and eon (an immeasurably long period of time, presumably in reference to the concept of evolution). Eon is also a suffix shared by all Eeveelutions and was Eevee's prototype English name.
