move 1: Foul Play
move 2: Wish

item: Leftovers
ability: Synchronize
nature: Calm / Careful
evs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
[SET COMMENTS]
* With its good bulk, Yawn, and STAB Foul Play, Umbreon has a small niche as an answer to both Calyrex-S and Calyrex-I.
* Foul Play provides consistent damage, puts heavy pressure on Calyrex-S thanks to its quadruple weakness, and can do decent damage to Zacian-C trying to come in.
* Snarl is less useful against Calyrex-I, but it can completely shut down Calyrex-S, as well as annoying most special threats thanks to the Special Attack drop.
* Moonlight can be used in place of Wish for instant, though inconsistent, recovery.
* Though Umbreon should only Dynamax in the most dire of situations, a Careful nature will make Max Darkness slightly stronger.
Items
========
* Leftovers is the most sensible item, granting Umbreon consistent passive recovery, lessening the need to use Wish and Protect.
* Sitrus Berry is an alternative to Leftovers, providing Umbreon with a quick burst of health after taking some damage.
* Utility Umbrella can allow Umbreon to better stand up to Kyogre, and it also enables more consistent recovery if using Moonlight. However, even with Utility Umbrella, Umbreon should not be relied on as a Kyogre answer.
EV Spreads
========
* 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD with Calm - This spread maximizes Umbreon’s special bulk, allowing it to consistently check Calyrex-S.
* 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD with Bold - This spread allows Umbreon to better take physical attacks but severely hinders its consistency against Calyrex-S and other special threats.
