Umbreon

Umbreon (ブラッキー Blacky) is a -Type Pokémon introduced in Generation II. It evolves from Eevee if it has a high friendship level, and then leveled-up at night.

Appearance
Eevee's much smaller body had been transformed under the influence of the moon's aura. For it to evolve, an Eevee must have full trust and friendship with it's trainer during the night. (In the games it is the same but eevee must be leveled up during the night) Umbreon has bright yellow rings around both ears and tail, as well as on the upper parts, its front and back legs, and one in the center of its forehead. The rings glow when under the influence of moonlight.

Its physical characteristics seem to be both feline and foxlike, with a lithe thin body, cat-like eyes, a short muzzle, and a thick bushy tail. Its origins could be of black cats or foxes that are known to be nocturnal; its rings also give it an Egyptian like feel, perhaps with roots from Bastet or Anubis.

Special Abilities
Umbreon can spray a cloud of toxic gas from it's sweat glands when agitated. Also, since it's a fully evolved Pokémon, Umbreon can learn the moves Hyper Beam and Giga Impact and even though Umbreon is a Dark-type it is able to learn Psychic. Although Umbreon looks small, it has a strong endurance. It's base stats make it a good choice for defensive trainers.

Behavior
Umbreon stalks silently during the night hunting for prey under the cover of darkness. When it senses an enemy's presence, it waits for it's enemy to come into range. When it attacks, it's rings give off a bright golden light.

Name Origin
Umbreon's name originates from Umbra and Eon. Umbra means shade or shadow. Eon means a long period of time. That's because since it is one of the seven evolutions of Eevee, it comes from a "long line of evolutions", or an eon of evolutions.
