Strong point: Sp. Def — higher than 97% of species. This is the final form of its line — it does not evolve any further. On defense it has 3 weaknesses, 2 resistances and 1 full immunity. Psychic-type moves do nothing to it at all.
Base stats
Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Sp. Def.
A nature can improve this entry further: its boost hits hardest on Sp. Def, the stat in which this species already leads. Which nature does that — see the list of natures.
Which nature to choose
The stats describe a special wall — it hits weakly on both sides, but its Sp. Def stays high. A nature does not touch HP, so extra bulk can only be added on this side.
- Careful +SpD · −SpA Raises what this species uses to absorb hits, at the cost of Sp. Atk — a stat it does not use anyway.
- Hidden Power and Weather Ball still deal damage based on Sp. Atk. If either of them is going into the set, lowering Sp. Atk is no longer free.
A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.

How players use it
Data from 574,541 ranked battles on Smogon (Gen 9 OU, 2026-09). These are not numbers from the game — they are player habits. Gen 9 OU is the most popular format with no top-down team restrictions — everything is allowed except what was deemed too strong.
Rank 81 among 309 Pokémon in use — it is on 0.93% of teams.
Each row is a separate distribution, not a single set: the most common item and the most common move do not have to appear on the same Pokémon.

Variant gallery
The gallery shows only the appearance variants that exist for this Pokémon. Every image shows the same character and differs in source — a Pokémon HOME render or a pixel sprite — and in coloring, regular or shiny.
LEGO sets (1)
All LEGO sets →Umbreon has its own LEGO set — it is not part of any game but a separate product line that launched in 2026.
TCG cards (20)
All Umbreon cards →Umbreon has 20 cards in 14 sets. The oldest of them are shown below.
Breeding
All Egg Groups →Offspring can come from 275 species from the same Egg Groups (with opposite genders) or from Ditto. Below are the first 12 by Pokédex number.
The Egg hatches after 35 cycles, which is roughly 9,200 steps. The exact cycle length depends on the game — newer titles shortened it noticeably — so treat this number as an order of magnitude, not a countdown. Having the Flame Body Ability in your party halves the wait.
