Stats & Training

Umbreon's built to absorb hits, not race for knockouts. Special bulk with Sp. Def doing the heavy lifting. And the medium-fast 1M XP curve means it won't take forever to bring up, worth 2 Sp. Def EVs.

Umbreon Weakness

Fighting, Bug, and Fairy moves hit Umbreon for super-effective damage. The upside? Psychic-type moves can't touch it at all. Umbreon's overall bulk (95/110/130) lets it take a hit or two from most weaknesses before going down.

Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Umbreon Best Moveset

max HP and Sp. Def EVs and Calm nature turn Umbreon into a wall that doesn't fold easily. Leftovers brings passive recovery each turn for the long game, and Wish handles sustain. Synchronize fills in the gaps.

Without breeding, Umbreon misses out on Captivate and Charm. That's 14 egg moves adding depth that the base kit lacks. STAB comes from Foul Play and Dark Pulse, with Normal and Psychic coverage and more rounding things out.

Umbreon Guide

  • In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Umbreon works as a wall with 525 BST behind it. C-Tier on our list: a niche pick in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon's meta. Foulplay with Leftovers is the standard set.

  • In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, watch for Hitmonlee (Fighting), Heracross (Bug), and Gardevoir (Fairy) when using Umbreon. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Umbreon has enough bulk to absorb a hit, but don't push the matchup. Pivot to a teammate that resists.

  • Synchronize copies burns, paralysis, and poison received onto the Pokémon that inflicted them. That's the one you want on Umbreon. Inner Focus is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses.

  • Umbreon is leaning toward the physical side (base 65 Attack). Tanky enough to absorb a few hits, too. Speed tells the real story. At base 65 Speed, it won't be moving first often. Fits the wall role.

  • In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, run Foulplay, Heal Bell, Toxic, and Wish on Umbreon. Foulplay is the most common pick at 25% usage. This set covers the wall role with a mix of damage and utility.

Game Availability

Debuting in Gold & Silver, Umbreon appears in 19 games across 9 generations. A reliable presence in most mainline games, typically found through wild encounters.
