Umbreon<sup>(JPJapanese: ブラッキー

Romaji: Bracky)</sup> 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 mammalian Pokémon which has a sleek, black body with four slender legs and crimson eyes. It has two pairs of pointed teeth (one pair in each 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 evolution is the result of Eevee being exposed to the moonlight, which altered its genetic structure. Umbreon's yellow rings glow when it is excited, such as when it leaps to attack; or when exposed to the moon's aura, which fills it with a mysterious energy. Umbreon hunts at night and, as such, has well-developed eyes that can spot a prey even in darkness. Its black fur helps it blend into the night while waiting for the right moment to pounce. When it does, its rings emit a dim yet ominous glow, and it lunges for the prey's throat before eating it. Whenever angered or agitated, Umbreon sprays poisonous sweat secreted from its pores into the offender's eyes to protect itself. Umbreon primarily specializes in defensive prowess. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Umbreon is known to be difficult to find while it sleeps during the night. The main reason is due to Umbreon being a nocturnal Pokémon.

This Pokémon is rare in the wild, instead being more commonly found in urban areas, under the ownership of other Trainers.

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.
• Several of Umbreon's Pokédex entries refer to "poisonous sweat", which may be a holdover from the 1997 Nintendo Space World demo of Pokémon Gold and Silver, where it was a Poison-type Pokémon.
