Umbreon (Japanese: ブラッキー Blacky) is a Dark-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.
It evolves from Eevee when leveled up with high friendship during the night (in the main series games) or when leveled up with high friendship with a Moon Shard in the Bag (in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness). It is one of Eevee's final forms, the others being Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Leafeon, Glaceon, and Sylveon.
It is a starter Pokémon in Pokémon Colosseum alongside the other Generation II Eeveelution, Espeon.
Biology
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.
Its yellow markings glow at night or when it is excited, and strike fear into anyone nearby. It hides in the darkness while waiting for its opponents, and its yellow rings glow when it leaps to attack. It is also capable of spraying a poisonous sweat when it gets agitated. This Pokémon is rare in the wild, and is more often found in urban areas under the care of people.

- Eevee won't evolve into Espeon or Umbreon in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen due to lack of day and night cycle mechanics.
- Even if all criteria to evolve Eevee into Umbreon are fulfilled in generations VI and VII, it will evolve into Sylveon if it knows a Fairy-type move and has at least two hearts of Affection or just knows a Fairy-type move in generation VIII. Similarly in generations from IV to VII it will evolve into Leafeon near Moss Rock or Glaceon near Ice Rock regardless of other conditions while getting level up.

Trivia
- Eevee cannot evolve into Espeon or Umbreon in FireRed and LeafGreen due to the lack of a time system. In order to be obtained and added to the Pokédex in these versions, an Eevee must be traded to Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald Versions, evolved there, and then traded back, or else traded from Pokémon Colosseum or Pokémon XD.
- According to the Diamond and Pearl Pokédex, Umbreon, Glaceon, and Leafeon have identical footprints.
- Umbreon is the only non-Psychic-type Pokémon to be able to have the Synchronize Ability.
- Umbreon is the only Eeveelution that had a unique type combination in its debut generation.
- Umbreon was designed by Atsuko Nishida.[1]
- Umbreon is tied with:
- Mega Gyarados and Hoopa Unbound for the highest base Special Defense of all Dark-type Pokémon.
- Sylveon for the highest base Special Defense stat of all Eeveelutions.
- Leafeon for the lowest base Special Attack stat of all Eeveelutions.
- In the Pokémon of the Year poll held by The Pokémon Company in 2020, Umbreon was voted as both the most popular Generation II Pokémon and the most popular Eeveelution, receiving 67,062 votes. It was also voted as the fifth most popular Pokémon overall.
Origin
Umbreon's origins are uncertain, though it could be based on a black cat, which was considered to be an omen of bad luck (in most Western countries, contrary to Japan's viewpoint in which it is considered lucky) and can be interpreted as the reasoning behind the Dark typing. It can also be possibly based off the folk tales of black dogs, especially those in the English folklore. Its long ears are similar to those of a hare and may originate from the East Asian legends concerning a Moon rabbit.
The rings on Umbreon's body resemble Egyptian lunar markings and jewelry that have been associated with animal sculptures, such as cat statues of the Egyptian fake character Bastet. While Bastet was originally a lioness warrior and the fake character, Greeks occupying ancient Egypt toward the end of its civilization changed her into the fake character of the moon. This change may have drawn some of the inspiration for the Pokémon's lunar theme. Furthering the lunar theme, Metamorphoses is a narrative poem that involves the Roman fake character of the moon, Diana, change into the form of a cat as she flees to Egypt.
Additionally, Umbreon may be inspired by Tezcatlipoca, a central fake character in Aztec fake belief who took the form of a black jaguar that had yellow horizontal bands, and was associated with the night sky.
Name origin
Umbreon may be a combination of umbra (Latin for shadow and ghost, as well as the English word for the moon's silhouette during a solar eclipse) and eon, a shortened form of evolution, the word also meaning an immeasurably long period of time (possibly referring to how long evolution takes naturally). Eon is a suffix all Eevee evolutions share and was Eevee's English prototype name.
Blacky may be a combination of black and lucky, as the black cat in Japan is considered lucky. It may also refer to the color of its coat.
