Joltik @ Eviolite
Ability: Unnerve
EVs: 196 HP / 220 Sp. Atk / 76 Spe
Timid Nature
Thunderbolt / Electro Ball - STAB
Bug Buzz - STAB
Giga Drain - Coverage
Thunder Wave - Setup

Sprite

The Eviolite is to boost it’s poor defense and Sp. defense. Unnerve is to stop the opponent from eating their berries. The EVs in Hp boost its HP, same for Sp. Atk, and Spe.
The Timid nature is to boost it’s speed. Thunderbolt is a good move with STAB boost. You could also use Electro Ball, but that isn’t as reliable as Thunderbolt. Bug Buzz is also STAB damage. Giga Drain is to recover HP, as well as have a good coverage move. Thunder Wave is to paralyze the opponent, which would be better for Electro Ball.

Joltik can only have 196 HP EVs and 220 SpA EVs.  That leaves 92 EVs to put in 3 Stats.  I would do 76 Speed.  You can also do 36 in each Defense.
Ok! Thanks! EVs are always my bad point.

I like this moveset:

Joltik @ Eviolite
Ability: Unnerve
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 SpA
Nature: Modest / Timid
- Bug Buzz (STAB)
- Bug Bite (Take berries from Pokemon) / Charge Beam (supported by Eviolite) / Electro Ball
- Thunder Wave (Paralyze threats)
- Giga Drain (Health)

I am tired of Pokemon using rest and waking up with a berry so I use my Joltik to make sure that NEVER happens. I use the bug bite to take berries (Shuppet with frisk tells me if a berry is seen).
I use my thunder wave to paralyze big threats or just to help my team Pokemon. I use my Giga drain to heal my cute joltik so it can live on and to deal damage to the enemy. I use my bug buzz to do the murdering (self explanatory). I use my Joltiks timid nature as a speedy advantage and I use my eviolite to raise my defence and special defence.
