As for why it was used so much, as you said it hits a great speed tier, allowing it to outspeed key threats like Yatagaryu, both formes of Kiricorn and Harptera. Equipped with a Choice Specs or Life Orb it has the potential to perform a late-game sweep once Scarf and prioritiy users have been taken care of. Early game it can spam Volt Switch to inflict chip damage while retaining switch advantage.
Volt Absorb lets in come in safely on Yatagaryu's Thunder and on situational Thunder Waves.
There's that, and also the fact that people like to breed Eeveelutions ;)
Oh... Well, that makes sense, thank you!
I already own an good Jolteon see here---> http://pokemonuranium.co/forum/showthrea...1#pid10561 , but it doesn't have Volt Absorb Ability. ( ._.) Maybe I should breed+train an additional one when I'm feeling funny.
