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.

Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl Umbreon Best Moveset

HP-heavy investment EVs and Impish 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.
