One of the very first dark Pok\u00e9mon introduced, this new type helped to balance out the powerful psychic type. Known as the moonlight Pok\u00e9mon, the cat-like Umbreon can only evolve from Eevee at night when exposed to moonlight, and when it trusts the trainer enough through friendship. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/wp-content\/sites\/pockettactics\/2022\/09\/pokemon-go-umbreon-3.jpg\" class=\"gallery\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-legion-featured-2022 wp-image-40527 lazyload\" title=\"pokemon-go-umbreon (3)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/wp-content\/themes\/legion\/dist\/images\/lazyload_placeholder.svg\" alt=\"Pokemon Go Umbreon: Key art shows the dark Pokemon Umbreon\" width=\"550\" height=\"309\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/wp-content\/sites\/pockettactics\/2022\/09\/pokemon-go-umbreon-3-550x309.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<h2>How do I evolve Eevee into Pok\u00e9mon Go Umbreon?<\/h2>\n<p>There are two ways to evolve an Eevee into Umbreon, but one of them only works once. First, like all other Eevee evolutions, there\u2019s a specific name you can call the Pok\u00e9mon to choose to turn it into one of the many evolutions. For Umbreon, that name is Tamao, and once you evolve an Eevee this way, you have to use the second method for any subsequent evolutions. <\/p>\n<p>The second way to evolve an Eevee into an Umbreon is to make the Eevee your buddy and then walk at least 10km, earning two candies for your effort. Then you get the chance to evolve Eevee, but to nab yourself an Umbreon you must evolve the Pok\u00e9mon at night. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/wp-content\/sites\/pockettactics\/2022\/09\/pokemon-go-umbreon-5.jpg\" class=\"gallery\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-legion-featured-2022 wp-image-40525 lazyload\" title=\"pokemon-go-umbreon (5)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/wp-content\/themes\/legion\/dist\/images\/lazyload_placeholder.svg\" alt=\"Pokemon Go Umbreon: Key art shows the dark Pokemon Umbreon\" width=\"550\" height=\"309\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/wp-content\/sites\/pockettactics\/2022\/09\/pokemon-go-umbreon-5-550x309.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<h2>What are Pok\u00e9mon Go Umbreon\u2019s stats?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"table-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"table-rail\">\n<table width=\"100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Umbreon\u2019s stats<\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;Result<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Base attack<\/td>\n<td>126<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Base defence<\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;240<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Base stamina<\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;216<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Max CP \u2013 level 15<\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;916<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Max CP \u2013 level 20<\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;1221<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Max CP \u2013 level 30<\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;1832<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Max CP \u2013 level 40<\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;2137<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Base capture rate<\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;12.5%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Base flee rate<\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;5%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Weaknesses<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Fighting x2<\/li>\n<li>Bug x2<\/li>\n<li>Fairy x2<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Resistances<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Ghost x0.5<\/li>\n<li>Dark x0.5<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Immunities<\/h3>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/wp-content\/sites\/pockettactics\/2022\/09\/pokemon-go-umbreon-4.jpg\" class=\"gallery\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-legion-featured-2022 wp-image-40526 lazyload\" title=\"pokemon-go-umbreon (4)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/wp-content\/themes\/legion\/dist\/images\/lazyload_placeholder.svg\" alt=\"Pokemon Go Umbreon: Key art shows the dark Pokemon Umbreon\" width=\"550\" height=\"309\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/wp-content\/sites\/pockettactics\/2022\/09\/pokemon-go-umbreon-4-550x309.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/h2>\n<h2>What are Pok\u00e9mon Go Umbreon\u2019s moves?<\/h2>\n<h3>Quick move<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Feint attack (dark)<\/li>\n<li>Snarl (dark)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Charged move<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Dark pulse (dark)<\/li>\n<li>Foul play (dark)<\/li>\n<li>Last resort (normal)<\/li>\n<li>Psychic (psychic)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>How do I use Pok\u00e9mon Go Umbreon?<\/h2>\n<p>While it can be tempting to run an Umbreon with psychic for your charged move, you miss out on STAB damage, so outside of a few specific instances, it\u2019s best to have your Umbreon use snarl and foul play, and treat it as a nuisance for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/ghost-pokemon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ghost Pok\u00e9mon<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/psychic-pokemon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">psychic Pok\u00e9mon<\/a> alike.
