Umbreon in Ubers
 
Umbreon (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Synchronize
EVs: 252 HP / 56 Def / 200 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Baton Pass
- Protect
- Snatch
- Wish

not my exact EVs but w/e. I just thought we'd have a discussion on the usefulness (if you believe any) of this in the uber metagame.

jc_rcw July 31st, 2006 5:09 PM

it can work, snatch some CMs/SDs and wish, then bp. With umby's defenses it can survive I'd like to try it.

Hmm, I don't play the Uber metagame. Only very rarely if I feel like making a fun team, but hey, even though I like never do Ubers I should've figured out Umbreon being cool in Ubers.

Also, btw, good EVs IMO. It needs near max Special Defense to take hits from Latias, Latios, Ho-oh, and Kyogre and other special attackers in the Uber metagame, which is few. Cool Umby overall.

toxic over protect so it can do something if its the last pokemon

Pursuit might be a funny option, if only for all the psychics around + Sheddy.

jc_rcw August 1st, 2006 8:32 AM

This thing is hot as hell, it can do so much stuff its not funny.

cool

Snatch lols at Kyogre for CMing and at Groudon for SDing.

Btw, does Snatch have effect with a Sub up.

Pax Deorum August 1st, 2006 2:34 PM

it's better off snatching Softboileds and CMs from random Blisseys if they have the latter at least. I wouldn't advise you doing it vs [email protected] though

Lord Mike August 2nd, 2006 7:00 AM

Well, if Kyogre's out, you might as well Snatch CMs from it or else it will kill you in time. [email protected] don't hit Umby as hard as a double-STAB'd Surf from Kyogre, or maybe even Hydro Pump.

Toothache August 2nd, 2006 8:16 AM

I still vote for more use of Pursuit. Heck with a few Snatched CMs he might do significant damage. Lugia isn't usually an issue since he usually doesn't have WW + CM on the same set.

husk1442 August 2nd, 2006 10:01 AM

ww+cm is standard on any cm lugia set =/

jc_rcw August 2nd, 2006 12:58 PM

Pwned for my? Also pursit is just to do some damage, but it won't take things down.

Lord Mike August 2nd, 2006 2:22 PM

A STAB Pursuit on the switch has a BP of 120, which isn't bad, but Umbreon has sucky Special Attack and mainly everything in ubers have pretty decent Special Defense. Pursuit maybe in OU, but it won't do a thing to Kyogre with that Special Defense it has. Even a super effective Pursuit to Lati*s won't make the the opponent go "OMG!"

Pursuit has it uses, but its not best use on Umby. Houndoom's way better at it.
