Pokemon Go will have you facing off against difficult raid Pokemon throughout your journey outdoors. If one of these is Umbreon, you are going to need to have a strong team by your side, because they can be a difficult fight if you don’t have the right setup available. If you are getting ready for a battle with this particular Pokemon, we’ll walk you through the best counters and all of its weaknesses in this guide!

Umbreon Weaknesses

Umbreon is a Dark-type Pokemon, which means Umbreon is weak to Bug, Fairy, and Fighting-type moves. You will want to bring a team full of Pokemon who can utilize those move types to come out of the battle victorious!

If you are running out of Pokemon to use, you will just want to make sure to avoid bringing any Pokemon that have Psychic, Dark, and Ghost-type moves. Umbreon is resistant to all of these, particularly Psychic.
