Umbreon(JP) is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a Dark-type Pokémon that made its first appearance in the second generation games Gold and Silver. It evolves from Eevee when leveled up with high happiness during the night.

Physiology and Behaviour[]

Umbreon is a Pokémon which has a sleek, black body with four slender legs and crimson eyes. It has two pairs of pointed teeth (one in the upper jaw and one in the lower jaw) which are visible when its mouth is open. It has long, pointed ears and a bushy tail, each with a yellow band around them. Its forehead and legs have yellow rings on them.

Umbreon's yellow markings glow at night or when it is excited, striking fear into anyone nearby. Upon being exposed to the moonlight, the rings on its body glow, filling it with a mysterious energy. Umbreon is nocturnal and as such, it has powerful night vision. Its black fur helps it hide in the darkness of night while waiting for its prey. When it spots the target, its rings gain a dim yet ominous glow, and it lunges for the prey's throat before eating it. Its yellow rings glow when it leaps to attack. Whenever Umbreon gets angry, it secretes and sprays poisonous sweat into the offender's eyes. Eevee evolved into this form due to exposure to the moonlight altering its genetic structure. This Pokémon is rare in the wild, and is more often found in urban areas under the care of people.

Trivia[]

  • Due to the absence of a day-night cycle in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, in order for an Espeon or Umbreon to be obtained and added to the Pokédex in those games, an Eevee must be traded to the Hoenn games, evolved there, and then traded back, or else traded from Pokémon Colosseum or Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.
  • The official trademarked romanization of Umbreon's Japanese name was formerly "Blacky". The current official romanization, "Bracky", was trademarked on December 19, 2022.
  • In the Pokémon of the Year poll held by The Pokémon Company in 2020, Umbreon was voted as both the most popular Second Pokémon Generation Pokémon and the most popular Eeveelution, receiving 67,062 votes. It was also voted as the fifth most popular Pokémon overall.
  • Umbreon is the only non-Psychic-type Pokémon to be able to have the Synchronize Ability.
