Umbreon is a Dark-type Pokemon with base stats of 126/240/216 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 2,416. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection.

For now, hold onto a good IV specimen but save your Stardust and Candy for more impactful investments unless you're a dedicated fan of this Pokemon.

If you catch a perfect IV Umbreon, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Umbreon ranks well in raids or PvP.
