MGL360NOSCOPE UMBREON

[Twin Judge of Gemini]

So I've been doing my Dark mono-run, and being stuck against Terra and her RAWRCHOMP, simply for no Sneasel which can make the battle easier.

I've been retrying the battle around 10 time, where each battle ended up with me losing to RAWRCHOMP who spam Draco Meteor/Flamethrower

That is when I have briliantsadistic idea of testing my lvl 48, no EV train, no breeding IV, Umbreon to the battle

which have movelist as this:

- Moonlight

- Dark Pulse

- Yawn(the egg move I got)

- Confuse Ray

It goes too well, for Umbreon managed to tank Critical Hit STAB Draco Meteor from RAWRCHOMP, barely losing half of its hp while leaving me to set Yawn and Confuse Ray while doing so

While Umbreon indeed got defeated by RAWRCHOMP, it still managed to give enough opening for my Scrafty to HJK RAWRCHOMP to its misery

ALL HAIL UMBREON!

Umbreon OP. Needs nerfs. Dem defense stats 3gud5me.

In all seriousness, Umbreon is actually pretty well known as an excessively solid tank and, along with Vaporeon and most recently Sylveon, is known as one of the most effective and useful Eeveelutions in the current meta. In reborn, where moves like Scald and Hyper Voice aren't available, Umbreon edges toward the top of the Eeveelution list. Even as a level 48 with no EV training (look at its base stats for a second, those things are MASSIVE), it'll take hits like a champ and be able to Moonlight, Confuse Ray, and Yawn without a care in the world.

true dat, I'm quite shocked how it managed to exceed my expectation, especially when some of my PKMN can't handle the damage at all

Guess PKMN Reborn's telling me to train Umbreon now :v

I use Umbreon on OU teams and damn that thing can seriously take a hit. It works well against the sort of okemon like Lati@s, as well as countering Rotom-W (unless it's a Trick set). But yeah, Umbreon can even take a physical hit or two.I think move tutors are a thing now as well, so definitely replace Dark Pulse with Foul Play just to punish the strong.

I'm doing a dark mono-run as well! I run a more physically offensive and defensive Umbreon set with Curse/Moonlight/Feint Attack/Last Resort. I'll teach it Payback once that TM is available and I may replace Last Resort with Refresh.

Confuse Ray/Yawn is actually the best move of Umbreon now(no toxic kills you), as you can stall and attack all you want with its help
