If ya got Lefties, Moonlight may not be as needed, especially since Substiture will prevent ya from getting inTOXICated XD

Yeah,that´s right,but Moonlight gives you much more HP than Lefties.I think that Moonlight is some kind of emergency brake :)

Faint Attack/ Pursuit is good for taking out ghosts, even withits dismal SpAtk power

Moonlight is good
IMO Charm is something worth considering over Toxic since you can lower somethings attack and then pass it to something and kill it without taking much damage.

Hmmm, that is true as well. And it restores all HP. ~\Ethereal_Knight/~, maybe you should look into that.

Rest leaves you open for 2 focus punches which would result in a K.O.

rest is too risky, that's why i didn't include it as an option, plus i'd have to give it a chesto berry....

Mean Look is only going to work with Taunt. The only sets you should use are the following:

-Mean Look
-Taunt
-Baton Pass
-Moonlight/Wish
@Leftovers
Trap the foe and taunt roar/whirlwind/yawn/recovery moves/anything else.

-Wish
-Protect
-Baton Pass
-Toxic/Substitute
@Leftovers
Use 0 speed DV and negative personality (relaxed) so you will pass Wish without the baton passee being hurt. That's why you need Baton Pass. If you want to use Toxic, this is the set you should use it on.

-Curse
-Taunt
-Baton Pass
-Moonlight/Wish
@Leftovers
BP to a fast sweeper with a White Herb to cancel the speed decrease but keep the attack and defense boost. This is really useful for Aerodactyl. This set can also be used on a BP team. In general though, don't use this.

I don't think sub is even an option on your Umbreon considering it needs a healing move. You can't toxi-trap without one. I still wouldn't recommend toxi-trapping with Umbreon. It won't work well because Taunt needs to accompany Mean Look (assuming your opponent knows what Roar is). My best suggestion would be for you to use the Wish passing set if you absolutely need Toxic. Otherwise, go with the first set. If neither of these work for you, pick a different poke. Take care.

As I mentioned above, Mean Look doesn't work on the wishpassing set because Taunt is vital. Since many Umbreon know Mean Look, your opponent will send out a pseudo hazer (roar/whirlwind) if they don't have a fighting poke. Taunt prevents that Skarmory or Suicune from messing you up.

Your welcome. If you need help on the EVs, feel free to PM me (or just ask here). Take care.
