Jolteon is covered in shiny bright yellow fur and has ears like those of a rabbit. It so has purple almond-shaped eyes and a catlike nuzzled with a small triangular nose. Its back legs are very powerful which allows it to run very fast like a cheetah. It doesn’t have a lot of counters and was once considered the toughest Tier 3 Raid Boss to defeat when it originally came out. So in this Pokémon Go guide, we are going to talk about the best ways and counters for players to defeat Jolteon as it’s going to be a tough battle.
