Umbreon V brings the dark side of strategy to your Pokémon battles with its tactical imprisonment abilities and damage-boosting mechanics.
This Single Strike Pokémon combines battlefield control with punishing attacks that reward smart damage management, making it a formidable threat that forces opponents to play around its strengths or suffer the consequences.
Offensive rating: 8/10Umbreon V's offensive capabilities are built around smart damage management.
Mean Look delivers a modest 30 damage for just one Darkness energy, but its true value comes from trapping the opponent's Pokémon.
The star attraction is Moonlight Blade, which normally deals 80 damage for three energy, but jumps to an impressive 160 damage when Umbreon has taken damage.
This creates a risk-reward scenario where Umbreon becomes more dangerous after being attacked.
With Single Strike support cards like Houndoom or Single Strike Energy, its offensive potential increases further.
The conditional damage boost requires planning but can lead to unexpected KOs against opponents who underestimate its potential.
Survival rating: 8/10With 200 HP, Umbreon V demonstrates solid durability for a Basic Pokémon V.
Its Grass weakness is manageable in many competitive environments where Grass attackers aren't dominant.
The two-energy retreat cost is reasonable, allowing reasonable mobility when needed.
However, Umbreon lacks built-in healing or damage reduction abilities, making it vulnerable once damaged.
Interestingly, taking damage activates its stronger attack potential, creating a survival paradox where being hurt makes it more dangerous.
While this doesn't improve its raw survivability, it does force opponents into difficult decisions about when and how to attack, potentially extending its battlefield presence.
Versatility rating: 9/10Umbreon V showcases impressive versatility through its dual-purpose attack strategy.
Mean Look provides crucial utility by preventing retreat, locking vulnerable Pokémon in the active position for follow-up attacks.
This trap effect creates opportunities to disrupt opponent strategies and stall for setup turns.
Meanwhile, its damage-boosting mechanic gives it legitimate sweeper potential in the mid-to-late game.
As a Single Strike Pokémon, it benefits from a robust support system including energy acceleration and damage boosters.
Its Basic status means immediate playability without evolution hassles.
Umbreon can function effectively as both a lead attacker and a tactical support Pokémon, adapting to different matchups and game states.
Speed/Setup rating: 9/10Umbreon V offers exceptional setup efficiency as a Basic Pokémon that can start making an impact immediately.
Mean Look requires just one Darkness energy, allowing it to begin disrupting opponent strategies on your first attacking turn.
While Moonlight Blade needs three energy, Single Strike support like Houndoom can accelerate this timeline significantly.
The card doesn't require complex evolution chains or specific ability combinations to function effectively.
Its straightforward energy requirements make it consistent across games, and Darkness-type search options like Hiding Darkness Energy improve accessibility.
The damage-boosting mechanic activates naturally through gameplay, requiring no additional setup beyond taking damage.
Umbreon V thrives in Single Strike decks with companions that accelerate energy attachment and amplify damage output.
The ideal setup maximizes its trapping capabilities while ensuring it can power up Moonlight Blade quickly, even as it takes damage.
Support Pokémon that can manipulate damage counters and provide defensive options create the perfect environment for Umbreon to control the flow of battle.
This Stage 1 Pokémon's Single Strike Roar ability attaches Single Strike Energy directly from the deck, solving Umbreon V's energy acceleration needs and enabling faster Moonlight Blade attacks.
Creates a powerful Single Strike tag team with Umbreon, sharing energy acceleration support while offering a different attack profile that complements Umbreon's trapping strategy with raw power.
Its ability places damage counters when benched, strategically activating Umbreon V's Moonlight Blade damage boost without requiring it to take an opponent's attack first.
Umbreon V represents a tactical powerhouse that excels in controlling the flow of battle through its trapping mechanics and punishing damage output.
Its greatest strength lies in forcing opponents into no-win scenarios: attack Umbreon and face increased retaliation damage, or ignore it and suffer from its battlefield control.
In tournament play, this card performs best when supported by the Single Strike engine, which addresses its energy requirements while amplifying its strengths.
Players should leverage Mean Look strategically to trap vulnerable targets before unleashing Moonlight Blade's enhanced damage.
The card rewards forward-thinking players who can anticipate damage patterns and position Umbreon to capitalize on its wounded-but-dangerous status.
With its impressive versatility, reasonable setup requirements, and tactical depth, Umbreon V is a compelling addition to any deck that can support its Darkness energy needs and appreciate its disruptive potential.
