Is Umbreon Good in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Playthrough?
Nighttime friendship evolution from Eevee. Umbreon absorbs hits from Phoebe's Ghost E4 and Sidney's Dark team (ironic, since it's Dark itself). The defensive stats are incredible, but the offense is low. A wall that rarely finishes fights quickly.

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.

Umbreon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Umbreon works as a wall with 525 BST behind it. B-Tier on our list: a solid option in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire for the right team. Wish with Leftovers is the standard set.
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 a physical attacker with 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 Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, run Wish, Foulplay, Protect, and Toxic on Umbreon. Wish is the most common pick at 0% 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.
