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.

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

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.

Swampert · Answer 6 · 2010-07-22T20:25:19+0000

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.

J DOG DE LEGEND · Answer 7 · 2010-07-22T20:21:25+0000

Maybe a varity of attacks like dig instead of last resort.
rain dance yes
thunder yes
Maybe shadoe ball.
Make sure the attack and special attack are good

Light Screen provides team support. Shadow Ball and HP Ice are coverage. Discharge hits multiple foes with STAB damage and a good chance of paralysis.

Dat LaprASSc: · Answer 14 · 2013-04-06T15:33:11+0000

My stud Jolteon:
Nature: Modest (Quiet will work too [Speed is already going to be high, so even though it won't be as high as can be, Sp. Attack will be off the charts, as well as Modest nature])

Rain Dance
Shadow Ball/Thunder
Thunderbolt
Charge Beam

Use Thunderbolt or Charge Beam right off the bat to attempt to raise your Sp. Attack. My Jolteon knows Shadow Ball because of type advantage to support my Black 2 team, which is why I chose it. It can also lower Sp. Defense. Use Thunderbolt for some STAB, and a chance to paralyze. When nearing the end of the battle, use Rain Dance to get Thunder's accuracy through the roof. Or, if you're planning on switching out to a Water type Pokemon (which I normally do since the enemy's next Pokemon always has type advantage or type advantage moves) it's perfect for setting up and strengthening your Water-type moves. In my case, LAPRAS<3

reshiram1016 · Answer 15 · 2013-05-16T12:24:35+0000

well my jolteon knows...
-thunder
-discharge
-strength
-quick attack
thunder because even though it has low accuracy, you can always get a chance to hit. plus jolteon has a lot of sp.attack. now yall are thinking:what? quick attack? strength?! well, quick attack is for Pokemon that have moves like aqua jet, extreme speed, quick attack and ya. jolteon is the fastest eevee evoloution.so using quick attack could work out. why strength? um ground?jolteon an electric type weakness is ground. with strength, before you switch out to another Pokemon, you might want to do some damage to that ground type.discharge is for other electric types. exept for electric types with like motor something whatever its called or maybe lighting rod. maybe even another jolteon who has volt absorb. but if that electric type doesnt have a move to have electric do no effect, use discharge.

Jolteon (M) @ Magnet

Trait: Volt Absorb or Quick Feet

EVs: 52 HP, 206 Speed, 252 Sp Atk

Nature: Modest or Calm

Thunderbolt (Powerful STAB move and backed up by Magnet and it's Sp Atk)
Shadow Ball (The Best non-STAB move with no side effects and gives a chance to lower Sp Def)
Toxic (Eat away at the HP if you're facing a tough opponent)
Signal Beam (Deals with Dark, Psychic and Grass types, RECOMMENDED) or Magnet Rise (If you want the ground immunity)

EV: 252 Spd / 124 Atk / 124 Def / 10 HP

Detect (Protect yourself)
Agility (Increases your speed)
Anything Else that Jolteon can learn that's nessessary

Kawaii Raichu · Answer 19 · 2014-08-10T01:07:42+0000

Jolteon is one of my favorite Eeveelutions and electric types! Jolteon is one of the fastest Pokemon, is one of the classics and is another one of those Pokemon so it should have deserve a great fast speical moveset. To bad that Jolteon can't learn elctro ball with all this speed or else I would of made another set.

Jolteon @ Focus Sash
Ability: Volt Absorb
Role: Fast Sweeper
Nature: Timid
EVs: 252 SAtk, 252 Spd and 4 HP
Moveset:
-Thunder Bolt
-Hidden Power (Ice)
-Wish/Agility
-Baton Pass/ Volt Switch

Thunder Bolt is the most reliable electric type move to hit most Pokemon more than Thunder plus it gains STAB so yea, you will have to look hard enough to find the perfect Eevee with the correct hidden power other than that it covers its ground type weakness and will kill grass types which are resistant to electric type moves and if you have ice you could kill a flygon or a garchomp or any dragon type (most dragon types have earth quake) then you got a great jolteon, Be paitent with wish cause if you use it on the first turn and jolteon gets hit and is left with 1 HP then you can attack the opponent and heal up, Baton pass is to baton pass wish to another opponent if you have to or if you want volt switch you can get your jolteon out of the battle quickly and it will also do STAB damage and you can pass on wish to one of your good allys or if you go with Agility you can baton pass speed to one of your slow allys so you don't have to have Trick room but can't volt switch agility to your ally's though. and heres a little tip about Jolteon's Volt Absorb ability, if you are faceing a opponent who may and might use thunder bolt or thunder wave or any other electric type move then quickly switch to jolteon and it will gain health and immunity and with a Timid nature you can out speed lots and lots of Pokemon more than usual. I think I'm one of those people who put lots of details in this set....

Or for one with a Modest nature...

Jolteon @ Leftovers
Nature: Modest
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 252 SAtk, 252 Spd, 4 Def
Moveset:
-Thunder Wave
-Thunder Bolt
-Shadowball
-Protect

Keegmeister · Answer 20 · 2014-08-12T08:00:39+0000

Jolteon @ Bright Powder
Nature: Modest
EV's: 252 SpA / 252 Spd / 4 Hp

Double Team
Thunderbolt
Substitute
Thunderwave/Shadowball/Baton Pass

Strategy: Start with substitute, and use it until your opponent misses or doesn't attack you. With a substitute to cover your low defenses, use Thunderwave to paralyze the enemy to lower their chances of being able to hit you. Then use Double Team multiple times, until you're confident that you will not be able to be touched. You're then clear to use thunderbolt. Even though this moveset only has one damaging move, Jolteon with high SpA EVs is easily strong enough to take down most Pokemon that can resist thunderbolt. If the substitute fades, simply just use it again (unless you're low on hp, just rely on your double team and your opponents' reduced accuracy.

Alternate Strategies:
- replace Thunderwave with Shadow Ball for more type coverage, incase you come up against any ground or steel types.
- replace Thunderwave with Baton Pass to pass on your substitute and double team effects onto another party member

This works pretty well in my opinion, and I've been using it for a couple of weeks now with great success. Hope it helps though... :)
