NU [SVNU] Umbreon

[Stories]

[OVERVIEW]

Umbreon's amazing utility movepool and peerless bulk make it a top-notch support Pokemon and check to many top tier threats, like Bruxish, Zoroark, and Mabosstiff. Despite its great bulk, Umbreon's offenses are quite lackluster, though this can be somewhat alleviated by STAB Foul Play to punish setup sweepers attempting to exploit Umbreon's passivity, like Coil Eelektross and Bulk Up Ursaring. Setup sweepers that don't mind taking a Foul Play, like Calm Mind Dudunsparce and Quiver Dance Oricorio, can easily take advantage of it. Umbreon also dislikes the plethora of Fighting-types in the tier, like Passimian, Medicham, and Paldean Tauros.

Set Details
====

Foul Play is surprisingly powerful with STAB, letting Umbreon threaten even neutral physical attackers. Umbreon's immense bulk lets it spread status with Thunder Wave or Yawn to support its teammates, and Wish can keep teammates that lack reliable recovery such as Perrserker and Eelektross healthy. While Pokemon like Tera Ground Oricorio and Coil Eelektross are immune to Thunder Wave, Yawn can shut down their setup attempts nicely. Synchronize can deter or punish careless status moves used by the likes of Dudunsparce and Drifblim. Umbreon prefers a Poison or Fairy Tera type to turn the tables on Fighting-types and take U-turn better. Tera Poison also provides a Fairy resistance and an immunity to Toxic and Toxic Spikes from common users like Muk, Qwilfish, and Vespiquen.

Umbreon appreciates Drifblim and Qwilfish for their Fighting resistance. Drifblim can remove entry hazards and take advantage of Umbreon's status moves with Hex, while Qwilfish can consistently punish Fighting-type moves and U-turn from Pokemon like Passimian and Scyther with Poison Point and Rocky Helmet. Bruxish and Rotom appreciate Umbreon's resistance to Ghost- and Dark-type attacks and its ability to inflict paralysis and sleep.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
====

Umbreon has a myriad of utility options at its disposal, including being able to set up with Calm Mind. Unfortunately, due to Umbreon's terrible Special Attack, a Calm Mind set typically requires too many boosts to be effective. Umbreon can fit two utility moves if it chooses to use Moonlight instead of Wish and Protect, but the limited PP can become a detriment in longer games. Umbreon can beat setup sweepers that typically take advantage of it, such as Quiver Dance Oricorio and Calm Mind Vaporeon, with Tera Ghost and Curse. Umbreon can also use Taunt and a few extra Speed EVs to stop setup sweepers like Sandaconda and Vaporeon or other support Pokemon like Vespiquen and Muk from using their own status moves. Lastly, Umbreon can trap an unsuspecting foe with Mean Look and wear it down with Foul Play or even drop its stats with Tickle to more easily take it out.

Checks and Counters
====

**Fighting-types**: NU has a plethora of Fighting-types, such as Crabominable, Medicham, and Passimian. Umbreon can Terastallize to reverse this weakness, but that always comes with a new set of weaknesses and removes the option to Terastallize later. Other Pokemon like Scyther and Zangoose have a powerful Close Combat that can threaten Umbreon as well.

**Opposing Utility Moves**: Regardless of Synchronize, a poisoned Umbreon, whether by Toxic or Toxic Spikes, is extremely impaired and struggles to fulfill its role. Trick from a Choice Scarf Haunter or Rotom can completely ruin Umbreon despite it being a suitable check to them otherwise. Taunt from Pokemon like Bombirdier, Qwilfish, and opposing Umbreon can limit Umbreon to only an exploitable Foul Play.

**Special Setup Sweepers**: Setup sweepers that don't mind Foul Play, mainly special attackers like Oricorio, Vivillon, and a Terastallized Farigiraf can easily boost against Umbreon.

[OVERVIEW]

Umbreon's peerless bulk and amazing utility movepool make it a top notch support Pokemon. Umbreon's absurd defenses and Dark-typing let it check many top tier threats like Bruxish, Haunter, and Veluza (are we sure we should refer to Veluza as top tier LOL, maybe Mabosstiff instead?). Despite its great bulk, Umbreon's offenses are quite lackluster, although this can be somewhat alleviated by its STAB Foul Play to punish setup sweepers attempting to exploit Umbreon's passivity, like Coil Eelektross and Bulk Up Ursaring. Setup sweepers that don't mind taking a Foul Play, like Calm Mind Dudunsparce and Quiver Dance Frosmoth, can easily take advantage of Umbreon.

Foul Play is surprisingly powerful when STAB boosted, letting it threaten even neutral physical attackers. Umbreon's immense bulk lets it spread status with Thunder Wave or Yawn to support its teammates, and Wish can keep teammates that lack recovery such as Copperajah and Eelektross healthy. (I'd note that Yawn helps against the Ground-type Quiver Dance users, as well as Eelektross pre-Tera) Synchronize can deter or punish careless status moves used by the likes of Dudunsparce or Drifblim. Umbreon prefers a Poison- or Fairy-type Terastallization to turn the table on Fighting-types and take U-turn better.

Umbreon appreciates Fighting resists like Drifblim and Qwilfish. Drifblim can remove hazards and take advantage of Umbreon's status moves with Hex, while Qwilfish can consistently punish Fighting-type moves and U-turn from Pokemon like Passimian and Scyther with Poison Point and even a Rocky Helmet. Bruxish and Rotom appreciate Umbreon's resistance to Ghost- and Dark-type attacks, as well as the Paralysis and Sleep that Umbreon can inflict.

Unfortunately due to Umbreon's terrible Special Attack, a Calm Mind set typically takes too many boosts to be effective. Umbreon can fit two utility moves if it chooses to use Moonlight instead of Wish and Protect, but the limited PP can become a detriment in longer games (also becomes much less of a support Pokemon and more of a utility Pokemon). Umbreon can beat setup sweepers that typically can take advantage of it, such as Quiver Dance Frosmoth and Calm Mind Vaporeon, with Tera Ghost and Curse. Umbreon can also use Taunt (I'd mention some Speed EVs asw here, maybe enough for Sandaconda at least?) to stop setup sweepers or other support Pokemon like Vespiquen and Muk from using their own status moves. Lastly, Umbreon can trap an unsuspecting opponent with Mean Look, and either wear it down with Foul Play or even drop its stats with Tickle to more easily take it out.

**Fighting-types**: NU has a plethora of Fighting-types, such as Crabominable, Medicham, and Passimian. Of course Umbreon can Terastallize to reverse this weakness but that always comes with a new set of weaknesses and the usage of Tera. Other Pokemon like Scyther and Zangoose have a powerful Close Combat that can threaten Umbreon as well.

**Opposing Utility Moves**: Regardless of Synchronize, a Poisoned Umbreon, whether by Toxic or Toxic Spikes, is extremely crippled and is far less able to fulfill its role. Trick from a Choice Scarf Haunter or Rotom can completely ruin Umbreon, despite it being a suitable check to them otherwise. Taunt from Pokemon like Bombirdier, Qwilfish, and opposing Umbreon can limit Umbreon to only an exploitable Foul Play.

**Special Setup Sweepers**: Setup sweepers that don't mind Foul Play, mainly Special attackers like Frosmoth, Vivillon, and a Terastallized Farigiraf can easily boost against Umbreon. These three Pokemon in particular commonly run Tera Ground as well, even stopping Thunder Wave.

Foul Play is surprisingly powerful when STAB boosted with STAB ("when" makes it sound conditional but since we're talking about Umbreon it'll always have STAB), letting it Umbreon (first sentence of a new section should mention the mon by name IMO) threaten even neutral physical attackers. Umbreon's immense bulk lets it spread status with Thunder Wave or Yawn to support its teammates, and Wish can keep teammates that lack recovery such as Perrserker and Eelektross healthy. While Pokemon like Tera Ground Oricorio and Coil Eelektross are immune to Thunder Wave, Yawn can shut down their setup attempts very nicely. Synchronize can deter or punish careless status moves used by the likes of Dudunsparce or and Drifblim. Umbreon prefers a Poison- or Fairy-type Terastallization to turn the table on Fighting-types and take U-turn better. Tera Poison also provides a Fairy-type resistance and an immunity to Toxic and Toxic Spikes from common users like Muk, Qwilfish, and Vespiquen.

Umbreon appreciates Fighting-resistant allies resists like Drifblim and Qwilfish. Drifblim can remove hazards and take advantage of Umbreon's status moves with Hex, while Qwilfish can consistently punish Fighting-type moves and U-turn from Pokemon like Passimian and Scyther with Poison Point and Rocky Helmet. Bruxish and Rotom appreciate Umbreon's resistance to Ghost- and Dark-type attacks, as well as the Paralysis and Sleep that Umbreon can inflict. and its ability to inflict paralysis and sleep.
