Umbreon (Japanese: ブラッキー Blacky) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.
It evolves from Eevee via Happiness during the night or when around a Moon Shard.
Biology
Physiology
Umbreon is the Pokémon that Eevee evolves into when it has gained a complete trust of its trainer at night or when around a Moon Shard. It has a sleek black body with a pair of crimson cat-like eyes and yellow bands on its ears and tail. Umbreon's forehead and legs have yellow rings on them. Its rings are said to glow at night.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Umbreon can spray a poisonous sweat whenever it gets agitated. As a Template:Type2 Pokémon, Umbreon can learn several moves with various disruptive effects, such as Taunt or Thief. Despite its appearance, Umbreon is a Pokémon of strong endurance as it has a high defensive stat. Since Umbreon is a fully evolved Pokémon, it can learn Hyper Beam and Giga Impact.
Behavior
Umbreon stalks prey silently at night. As it awaits its victims' approach, the yellow rings on its body begin to glow. During the day, they blink on and off. They are often seen on roofs and in trees staring at the moon.
Habitat
Umbreon are normally found in dark areas such as thick forests, but are most commonly found under the care of people.

Trivia
- Umbreon is tied with Vaporeon and Leafeon for the tallest Eevee evolution.
- Although it is often mentioned that it is able to spray poison, the only Template:Type2 move Umbreon can learn is Toxic, and only through TM06.
- Umbreon was the first and only pure Template:Type2 until the introduction of Poochyena, Mightyena, and Absol in Generation III.
- Umbreon is the earliest Dark-type Pokémon that the player can acquire in the Johto region without trading, as Bill gives the player one Eevee in Goldenrod City. Most other Dark types are native to other regions, the Johto Safari Zone, or require the player to defeat the League Champion and acquire the National Pokédex before they can appear in the Johto region.
- Umbreon is not obtainable in FireRed and LeafGreen due to lack of a time system. In order to be obtained and added to the Pokédex in these versions, an Eevee must be traded to Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, evolved and then traded back or traded from Colosseum or Gale of Darkness.
- By National Pokédex order, Umbreon is the first Template:Type2 Pokémon, and the last Pokémon to not share a type with a Pokémon of a lower number.
- Umbreon is the only non-Template:Type2 Pokémon with the ability Synchronize.
- Umbreon is one of three Pokémon that can be obtained via more than one evolution method in the main series of games. The other two are Espeon and Feebas.
- Umbreon has the highest Special Defense of all Dark-types.
- In Pokémon Stadium 2, Pokémon Colosseum, and Pokémon XD, Umbreon glows between its regular and shiny colorations.
- Umbreon is the only Eeveelution with a type immunity (without counting abilities).
- According to the Diamond and Pearl Pokédex, Umbreon, Glaceon, and Leafeon have identical footprints.
- Umbreon is presumably the most useless user of the move Synchro Noise due to its definition; when Umbreon uses Synchro Noise, a Psychic-type move, it will only be able to hit Dark-types, and Psychic type attacks can't hurt Dark types.
Origin
It is most likely based off of a black fox, a color variation of the red fox, although it has several feline traits as well, particularly those of a black cat. Its size and body shape are simaler to a coyote's, indicating that they have good endurance, as do most canids. This refrences to Umbreon's high defence and special defence stats. Its slitted eyes are reminiscent of a cat or possibly a wolf, and they display actions in the anime that are catlike. The rings on its body look like Egyptian lunar markings and jewellery that have been associated with animal sculptures, such as cat statues and statues of the jackal god, Anubis. They may also be meant to resemble solar eclipses. Some of its traits, such as the long ears, are similar to those of a hare; Numerous East Asian legends concern a Moon rabbit. In old European stories, the Moon gazing hare also has roots tied to folklore sources containing references to the Moon, hares, and night-time. Umbreon's ears and skull shape are similar to a fennec fox, a small desert fox with a short snout and long ears used to expel heat. Fennec foxes, and most other foxes, are also nocturnal, as is Umbreon. The concept of Umbreon may be inspired by a phenomenon called the paraselene, or also known as the moon dog. It is an effect that creates a halo of light around the moon, similar to the rings on Umbreon's coat, and also refrences to Umbreon's canid basis.
Name origin
Umbreon's name is derived from umbra, Latin for shadow and ghost, as well as the name for the moon's silhouette during a solar eclipse. The -eon suffix, common to all Eevee evolutions, comes from Eevee's prototype English name and possibly refers to the ending suffix of evolution itself. Umbreon's name may also be derived from the color umber, seeing that it is a shade of brown very close to black. Its Japanese name, Blacky, could be a mix of 黒 (black) and 運が良い (lucky), tributing the black cat in Japan that is considered lucky. It may also simply refer to the color of its coat.
