Damage multipliers of this Pokemon's same-type (STAB) moves against each defending type.
High-firepower meta Pokémon that hit it super-effectively by type (estimated, not battle data)
Based on real ladder matchup statistics and expert community assessments (data snapshot 2026-05)
Umbreon is one of the most-used defensive cores in high-ladder singles at 5.19% usage (rank 35). Smogon rates it A-, GameWith rates it S, and it appears in 24 of the top-300 ladder teams with 5 tournament appearances — confirming real top-level viability. Its base 130 Sp.Def and 95 HP underpin a Wish+Protect recovery cycle, while Foul Play turns opponent physical attackers' strength against them for passive chip damage.
Playstyle:The standard set: Leftovers (86.3%), Bold nature with max HP/Def EVs, running Foul Play / Wish / Yawn / Protect. Inner Focus (58.6%) is favoured at high ladder to block Intimidate and Thunder Wave from disrupting the Wish cycle. Expert commentary specifically notes that Kleavor's Sharpness-boosted X-Scissor 2HKOs even max-bulk Umbreon — a ceiling on its tankiness that the community has documented. Published builders combine Umbreon with Mega Chesnaught and Galarian Slowking to form a defensive core that exploits Yawn-forced switches.
Umbreon sits at 0.83% high-ladder doubles usage (rank 76), a niche choice. GameWith records a 0.4% doubles usage and 46.7% win rate — below the 50% baseline — indicating genuine competitive weakness in this format. Its slow Wish/Yawn defensive cycle struggles to keep pace with the rapid, explosive pressure of doubles, and Foul Play's passive output is less impactful when opponents can simply target Umbreon's partner instead.
Playstyle:Doubles Umbreon uses a Calm nature with max HP/Sp.Def EVs (45.6%), running Foul Play / Snarl / Moonlight / Yawn as the main skill set. Inner Focus (98.6%) is near-universal in doubles to prevent partner Intimidate (e.g., Incineroar) from spreading to Umbreon itself. Leftovers (70.5%) and Sitrus Berry (23.4%) coexist. Partner pool features Basculegion (14.5%), Charizard-Mega-Y (13%), and Archaludon (12.7%), leveraging Umbreon's special-wall and Snarl support for those offensive cores.
