Primal Ground with Mud Shot and Precipice Blades and Mega Garchomp with Mud Shot and Earth Power are the two strongest counters to solo defeat Jolteon in Pokemon GO raids. They showcase the best performance with the right moveset.

Jolteon is a pure Electric-type Pocket Monster and it takes super-effective damage from only Ground-type attacks. You can use entities that can learn these moves to bring Jolteon down. However, it is always a great idea to go for Ground-type creatures with Ground-type moves to deal considerable damage on Jolteon.

Level 40 counters to Jolteon:

• Shadow Groudon: Mud Shot and Precipice Blades
• Mega Garchomp: Mud Shot and Earth Power
• Shadow Excadrill: Mud-Slap and Scorching Sands
• Therian Forme Landorus: Mud Shot and Sandsear Storm
• Shadow Mamoswine: Mud Shot and High Horsepower
• Shadow Rhyperior: Mud-Slap and Earthquake
• Shadow Golurk: Mud-Slap and Earth Power
• Excadrill: Mud-Slap and Scorching Sands
• Shadow Donphan: Mud-Slap and Earthquake

Each of the above creatures can solo defeat Jolteon in Pokemon GO raids on their own. This is because they are capable of completing these battles in less than 180 seconds. It is also worth noting that the challengers will only get three minutes to finish battles with Jolteon.

Please also note that all Ground-type counters gain a damage bonus in Sunny weather conditions. This means that these counters can complete Jolteon raids much faster, saving time for you to challenge another battle.

Stats and moves of Jolteon in three-star raids:

• Combat power: 20,800
• Attack: 232
• Defense: 182
• Stamina: 3,600 HP
• Fast Attacks: Thundershock and Volt Switch
• Charged Attacks: Discharge, Thunder, Thunderbolt, Zap Cannon, and Last Resort

If you want to solo defeat Jolteon in Pokemon GO without risking losing more HP, you should avoid getting hits from its Charged Attacks by dodging them. Jolteon strikes continuously with its Fast Attacks, dealing decent damage to the challenging Pokemon. To prevent losing the battle because of HP depletion, stock up on healing items and use them when needed.
