Thunderbolt: STAB, good power, chance to paralyze, high accuracy, can attack Pokemon using Fly.

Shadow Ball: Decent chance to lower Sp. Def, good power, high accuracy. Type coverage is its main use.

Signal Beam: Since Grass types are pretty much immune to electric, you want this.

Thunder Wave: A beter option than agility since it not only slows the foe down, it can stop them from attacking. This is good because very few Pokemon can outspeed Jolteon.

Other good moves for Jolteon to use are Substitute and Baton Pass.

This is a good moveset, one vote up!
This is a good move-set but I am on pearl and jolteon can't learn signal beam on pearl, but a great suggestion otherwise.
Then teach it shock wave or charge beam. Get charge beam because it has a 50% chance of getting the special attack raised
Not Shock Wave or Chrge Beam. Replace Thunder Wave and Signal Beam for Baton Pass and Substitute.
can it learn any other move that can cover its ground weakness?

Gen V

Jolteon (M) @ Magnet

Trait: Volt Absorb

EVs: 244 HP / 132 SAtk / 4 SDef / 128 Spd

Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)

  • Wish
  • Volt Switch
  • Thunderbolt
  • Shadow Ball

Use Wish. Then next turn use Volt Switch. The Pokemon sent out gets healed, which should cover any damage you took when you switched. So really, this is a safe version of switching (plus Volt Switch does damage.) Thunderbolt is for when you want to stay in. Shadow Ball provides type coverage. Magnet is used to increase the power of both Volt Switch and Thunderbolt. Seeing as you have two electric type attacks, this is fine to have as an item. You don't need much for speed EVs, just enough to outrun everything without boosts. A decent amount of Special Attack is given, mainly to put some power behind your Volt Switch. The HP EVs are there so Wish will heal the next Pokemon more.

This one is good.

Shadow Ball(coverage, good with special attacK)
Thunderbolt(strong accurate STAB)
Agility(Doubling already amazing speed makes easy sweeping)
Optional(Some people like to add in dig, and others iron tail. Light Screen is another option for raising special defense and some people like to add in toxic here but this last slot can be whatever you want.

Jolteon @ Life Orb

Trait: Volt Absorb

EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd

Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)

  • Thunderbolt
  • Volt Switch
  • Shadow Ball
  • Hidden Power [Ice]

Thunderbolt: Nice choice for STAB.
Volt Switch: Scouting, gets STAB.
Shadow Ball: Nice move, eeveelutions don't have a ton of options.
Hidden Power Ice: Takes care of ground types who are immune to Jolteon's STAB, also good against dragons and grass types wich recists Jolteon's STAB as well.

Choiced Jolteon

Jolteon # Choice Specs
Nature: Timid (^Speed -Atk)
Ability: Volt Absorb
~ 252 Sp Atk EVs / 252 Speed EVs / 6 HP EVs

  • Charge Beam

  • Roar

  • Echoed Voice / Protect

  • Thunder Wave


Well, here's something different! With such a massive base Sp Atk and Speed stat, it's to be taken advantage of! The idea is to use a Choice Specs to lock on Charge Beam or Echoed Voice (both will get more powerful with each successive hit) until something blows up! If you run into trouble, simply switch, which allows you a chance to lock on Roar or Thunder Wave. Locking on Roar will allow you to annoy your opponent like crazy! Especially if you have Stealth Rock, or Spikes up, this will come in handy! Locking on Thunder Wave may seem silly, but if your opponent doesn't know you're Choice, they might switch when their Pokemon becomes paralyzed, which will get them paralyzed! I actually haven't tried this set out myself (in process of transferring from Emerald to Black right now), but it seems fun and I hope you all enjoy it too!

Jolteon (M) @ Flame Orb

description

Role: Baton Passer

Trait: Quick Feet

EVs: 252 HP / 252 SAtk / 4 Spd

Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)

  • Wish
  • Substitute
  • Baton Pass
  • Thunderbolt

Flame Orb + Quick Feet means he doesn't need Ev's in his speed to sweep.
Maxed Special Attack makes Thunderbolt amazing, while I have 252 Hp Ev's to make Wish a better move to use. ( Bigger Hp boost ) Substitute is to baton pass away, and set up Flame orb, and wish. While having Thunderbolt as your sweeping option.

Why not charge beam instead of Thunderbolt? Also as of Gen 5 It heals half the health of the person receiving the wish heal so if Jolteons HP is 200 and it wish passes to a Pokemon with 100 Hp you will only pass 50 Health.
That's totally off.
In PO when I use my Chansey ( 700 something Hp ) I use Wish, give it away the pokemon I give it to recieves 350 Hp, no matter what. And Thunderbolt is to straight up sweep, immediatly, not to set up and give away. That slot is mainly for if I plan on sweeping.
