Strategy & play
How Umbreon VMAX plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Its main attack (Max Darkness) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
- Hits for 160 — one-shots small Basics and support Pokémon, but trades down into the format’s big attackers.
- Needs Darkness Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Darkness type, weak to Grass ×2 — a Grass attacker doing ≥155 effectively one-shots it.
- A two-prize Pokémon — each KO gives the opponent 2 Prizes, so a single bad trade can lose the race. Back it with single-prize attackers.
How to beat Umbreon VMAX
- Exploit its Grass weakness — ≥155 damage one-shots it.
- It gives up 2 Prizes — out-trade it with single-prize attackers.
