How to use Umbreon in the current VGC format

Umbreon is listed as a Dark type in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Umbreon fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Inner Focus, Sitrus Berry and Bold 32/0/32/0/2/0. Its frequent moves include Snarl, Foul Play, Taunt, Thunder Wave, Yawn, and Detect. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.

Defensively, Umbreon has important weaknesses to bug 2x, fairy 2x, fighting 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as sneasler, manectric, charizard-mega-y, zoroark-hisui, and starmie-mega appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
