I don't eally like that set. What if it was your last pokemon? You'd be f***ed

The truth is, that you're gonna send out it first. And Umbreon is meant to be defensive. Use your own set and lose, if you want, just be sure to take other people's advice and not say "I don't like your set" all the time.

No. To answer your question. First of all, wish is much better than moonlight, so if you want a healing move, use wish. Second, toxic trapping fails IMO. It's never worked well for me. 3rd, umbreon needs a defenseive advantage, but you take that away by giving it swagger. So, no, your set isn't good, here's the standard:

Umbreon@Leftovers
Bold/Impish
252 HP (you HAVE to max HP, spliting defenses is just...no) and 252 defense, 6 SpD
~Mean Look
~Baton Pass
~Wish/Taunt/Substitute/Curse/Confuse Ray/Toxic
~Wish/Taunt/Substitute/Curse/Confuse Ray/Toxic

The only way to use umbreon effectively, and Itachi's set was actually better...and BTW, if you use it right, umbreon shouldn't ever be your last pokemon...

 

[Persona]

Toxic works over Taunt if you want to induce any damage. They're both helpful and useful options, it's your personal preference as to what you want to use, really.

Yep. Thank you Anti. Ev's: 248 hp/132 def/120 sp.def

Meh. Not in 4th gen. Umbreon needs maxed Defense to survive those brutal physical sweepers...which is quite a shame, but is true...and switchi f you see heracross! Obvious, but once I left umbreon in...and you know the rest.

Yep. Two moves which can either do a lot of damage to it, or OHKO it. Which Are: Close Combat (Real deadly). And Megahorn (Not as brutal).

 

[Anti]

Megahorn coming from a CBcross, of course having STAB, I'm pretty sure OHKOs it. And yes, with the edition of close combat, umbreon has lost considerable power, and the only other pokemon that can BP traps is arados(sp) I believe.

Yep. Good Trapper, another one is:

Crobat @:Focus Sash
Trait: Inner Focus
Jolly/Adamant Nature
Haze
Confuse Ray
Mean Look
Aerial Ace/Quick Attack/X-scissor/Brave Bird/Hypnosis/Whirlwind (Works great with Spikes)./Curse/Roost. And what do you know? Right next to Ariados in the pokedex.
