I haz an idea. Every Friday, I will just type up an evaluation of a Pokemon with the Random Number Generator.
Today's Number is 197:
UMBREON!
Type: DARKAbility: Synchronize - If user gets Burned, Paralyzed, or Poisoned(both forms), the Pokemon who caused the status effect will receive the same status effect the user received. Immunities apply (Ex: A Fire Pokemon burns a Pokemon with Synchronize will not be affected by the burn).
Stats:| HP | 95 |
| Attack | 65 |
| Defense | 110 |
| Sp. Attack | 60 |
| Sp. Defense | 130 |
| Speed | 65 |
Author's Opinion: This is a pretty decent UU Pokemon. In OU, Blissey and Skarmory are one of the few walls that do a better job at doing their purpose. UU is where this thing would do its best. It's movepool is pretty shallow, but it shouldn't make it a bad wall. Now, I don't know much about Umbreon, so the majority of information comes from Smogon.
Recommended Moveset(s)
Nature: Careful
Item: Leftovers/Chople Berry
EVs: 252 HP/92 Sp. Def/164 Speed (If using Taunt)
252 HP/4 Def/252 Sp. Def (Other moves)
~ Mean Look
~ Baton Pass
~ Wish
~ Taunt/Toxic/Protect
This is one of the best sets Umbreon can have, Mean Look others and Baton Pass to a Sweeper. Taunt prevents Skarmory from setting up on you, so you need the Speed to outrun it.
Toxic is used to stall the opponent, while Protect lets you use Wish efficiently.
Leftovers helps it last longer, but a Chople Berry is helpful for soften Fighting moves.
Nature: Sassy
Item: Leftovers
EVs: 252 HP/200 Atck/56 Sp. Def
~ Curse
~ Baton Pass/Protect
~ Wish
~ Payback
Curse, and use Payback to esure a 100 Base Powered STAB Attack. You may Baton Pass the Stat boosts, or Protect if you want Wish to take effect.
Countering Umbreon:
If Umbreon doesn't have Taunt, then Skarmory can come in and Roar/Whirlwind away Umbreon's setting up capabilities.
Scizor can use U-Turn to nullify Mean Look as well as score super-effective damage.
Sweepers that use Taunt and are faster than Umbreon is trouble for Umbreon. Examples are Gyarados and Tyranitar.
Heracross poses a huge problem, as it has both STAB Bug and Fighting attacks. If Toxic is its only move, then Steel Types are a major problem with it.

Again, I don't really know Umbreon that well, so I had to use Smogon. However, the Mean Look set was one set that I actually thought up of, and then a little help from Smogon.
