What are good Gen 3 moves for an Umbreon?

Question

Payback wasn't introduced until gen 4, and the only stat raising move it can learn is curse which ups its attack and defense while lowering speed, and every Dark type move in gen 3 is a special type attack!!!

Answer 1

You're right, Umbreon wasn't that good in Gen 3. It basically ran Baton Pass sets.

Perhaps replace Taunt with Bite in case Umbreon is forced into attacking?
