Is Covet a good move for Jolteon?

I know Jolteon is a special attacker but since Jolteon has high speed, would it be good for taking items?Also if I shouldn’t ask this question then please tell me. Thanks!

Covet is not a good option for competitive Jolteon.

There are 3 reasons for this. The first is that to fully utilize Covet you would not be able to to have Jolteon carry its own item. This can be problematic as something such as choice band or black sludge could be very detrimental to Jolteon.The second reason is that Jolteon is a fast offensive Pokemon, meant to come in and revenge kill. Covet doesn’t allow this, and in fact removes from this as Jolteon really needs the move coverage to eliminate certain threats.

In addition to this, Jolteon is a special attacker. Covet is a physical move, so other than its one time utility it’s really a wasted moveslot.

Since you are asking for competitive, not really, no. For multiple reasons:

If there were to be a set for it, I guess it could be like this?
