What is a good moveset for Umbreon?

4 votes

Mine knows:

Payback: STAB, works well with Curse, high accuracy.
Curse: Increases Attack and Defense, also lowers Speed, making this really useful with Payback.
Toxic: Inflicts bad poison.
Wish: More reliable way of healing than Moonlight.

My favorite dark type. For a wall, you can use:

Toxic-Walls need this move
Mean look-Traps foe
Payback-Works well with low speed
Protect/curse/wish-protect for further stalling, curse to power payback, or wish to heal Umbreon

or you can make him a passer

Baton pass-passes to partners
wish-is baton passable, and because of umbreon's low speed, they switch in without getting hit
Toxic-poisons, duh
Mean look /Curse/double team -mean look is baton passable, curse if you are willing to give up speed.

I like to use the 1st or the 3rd one.

Annoyer:

Toxic-Given
Confuse ray-Further annoyance
curse-powers up umbreon
Trump card/Faint attack/Payback-Trump card has incredible amounts of damage after cursing. faint attack has okay power, and has infinite accuracy. there's also the move payback, but I suggested the others because confusion may keep your opponent from hitting you, meaning you don't get double power.

Payback gets double power if you move last, you don't have to get hit first.

A slight variation on Umbreon, but a useful one nonetheless.

Item: Leftovers
Trait: Synchronize
EVs: 208 HP / 48 Def / 252 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)

  • Curse
  • Wish/Moonlight
  • Payback
  • Snatch

Normally Snatch isn't all that great, but this set makes good use of it, working with the fact that most people don't like Umbreon because it's very easy to set up on. Curse is there to pad up his defense and attack, while payback is his attacking move. His HP is much higher than the typical Umbreon, so this helps with wish when he wants to help out a teammate. Most people try to set up stat boosters or substitute on Umbreon and try to go for a clean kill, but snatch is there to mess all that up. If it manages to steal a substitute, more than likely, Umbreon is pretty healthy, because they would have finished you off if you were weak. Snatch can let it take substitutes for itself while still being able to set up uninterrupted. If you want, you could replace Curse with Baton pass to help teammates even more, and payback into heal bell if you weren't afraid of being taunted. He can steal Whirlwinds and roars to preventing pseudo phasing, and since he's not interrupted with cursing, even some fighting types have trouble getting through him without a lucky critical hit.

Switch force Umbreon

Toxic/wish/moonlight-Toxic wears away at health, wish restores health, as does moonlight (which works wonders on sun teams)

Confuse Ray-confuses foe. Helps force switches.

Taunt-Forces foe to attack. Works nicely with confuse ray and payback

Payback-Works nicely with taunt

Gen V

Umbreon (M)

Item- Leftovers

Ability- Synchronize

Ev's- 252 Def. 252 Sp.Def 4 HP

Nature- Relaxed (- Sp. + Def) or Sassy (- Sp. + .Sp.Def)

Moveset-

  • Curse
  • Payback
  • Wish
  • Baton Pass

Umbreon should have Synchronize because if you get frozen your opponent could get frozen too, which means that u both can't do any damage to each other ( unless the Pokemon switches out).
Also if u use Curse then Baton Pass it to a Dusknoir or something it will have some serious bulk.

Sun Umbreon
@leftovers
200hp 252def 56spdef
impish
.confuse ray- confuses the foe and can damage them as well as can damage and prevent attacks
.toxic-badly poisons foe
.moonlight-recovery but in sun recovers 3/4 max hp
.protect-i find this usefull online because a.gives you free heeling b.counters opponents with moves like stone edge to run out of pp c.revenge to outrage users-there moves wasted and confusion

so umbreon has great walling abilitys (great hp great def and extremely good spdef) but IMO
putting to many evs into spdef is a waste because most spmoves are usually psychic (no effect) and water and ghost which will both do 1/2 damge due to resistant and sun
this set is good when i use it online though it does have 2 problems taunt (not that common) and fighting

Umbreon


enter image description here


.@Leftovers


.252hp 252def 4atk


.impish


Protect -stalling and heeling
Sucker punch -Priority
Toxic -stalling
Confuse Ray -more stalling


Similar to my other set just with more style.
Sucker punch may seem a weird idea but payback is less reliable in my opinion.
Payback meens your going to want to go last but when your about to die to lets say alakazams focus blast you do want priority so thats why sucker punch is there.
Also for the reason that if your going to die you may as well do a bit more before they atk.

The rest is rather self explanitry i love using confuse ray its much better than swagger plus it adds to the stalling effect.
If they are confused they are likely poisoned as well which goes well with protect.
