Joltpon (eigimon)

Template:PokémonPrevNext/Disambig |}

**Jolteon** (Japanese: **サンダース** *Thunders*) is an Template:Type Template:OBP introduced in Generation I.

It evolves from Luxye when exposed to a Thunder Stone. It is one of Luxye's final forms, the others being Vaporpon, Flarpon, Esppon, Umbrpon, Leafpon, Glacpon, and Sylvpon.

## Biology

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 with black interiors, and its eyes and small nose are black. It has slender legs and small paws, each with three toes and a pink paw-pad.

Jolteon's prickly fur is made of electrically charged needles and generates negatively charged ions, which create a sparking noise as it moves. It also has an electricity-generating organ in its lungs. The static electricity in its fur amplifies the low-level electricity generated by its cells and allow it to discharge 10,000-volt lightning bolts. This Pokémon is most often found in Template:DL under the ownership of Trainers. However, its high-strung nature and tendency toward mood swings can make it difficult to train.

## Trivia

* Jolteon shares its category name with Electrike. They are both known as the Lightning Pokémon.
* Jolteon and Zapdos's Japanese names are almost exactly the same as each other's, with a final *s* being the only difference.
* Jolteon was designed by Motofumi Fujiwara.
* Jolteon has the highest base Template:Stat stat of all Eeveelutions.

### Origin

Jolteon's physical anatomy seems to be primarily based on a Template:Wp or possibly a Template:Wp, with several traits of Template:Wps. It is also feline-like; its extremely high speed resembles that of a Template:Wp's. Additionally, it may have been inspired by the Template:Wp, a beast from Template:Wp whose body is made of lightning, and may take the form of a Template:Wp.

#### Name origin

Jolteon is a combination of *jolt* and *eon* (an immeasurably long period of time, possibly referring to how long evolution takes naturally). *Eon* is a suffix all Eevee evolutions share and was Eevee's English prototype name.

Thunders is literally *thunders* (present tense of the verb *to thunder*).
