Pokédex entries

Gold | It concentrates the weak electric charges emitted by its cells and launches wicked lightning bolts. |
Silver | Every hair on its body starts to stand sharply on end if it becomes charged with electricity. |
Crystal | The negatively charged ions generated in its fur create a constant sparking noise. |
Ruby Sapphire | 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. |
FireRed | If it is angered or startled, the fur all over its body bristles like sharp needles that pierce foes. |
LeafGreen | It accumulates negative ions in the atmosphere to blast out 10,000-volt lightning bolts. |
Emerald | 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. |

Ultra Sun | Its lungs contain an organ that creates electricity. The crackling sound of electricity can be heard when it exhales. |
