Espeon or Umbreon?

Well, it depends on whether you like to take things slow in this game or go through it fast. Espeon is quick and has strong attacks. Pick this if you're not wanting to spend a lot of time on things. If you're wanting something that's comparable to a tank; slow but well defensed, pick Umbreon. It's guaranteed to wear down your opponent.

Personally, I'd say ignore both and evolve your Eevee into Vaporeon, the best Eeveelution. I personally prefer to use Espeon of the two you mentioned.

Espeon's much better at attacking in general. It hits hard with Psychic and Shadow Ball, but otherwise it's lacking in the move department, save for Grass Knot. Pokemon such as Alakazam and Hypno are better Psychic types as they have more versatility. Still, Espeon gets the job done if you want to use it.

Umbreon...well, I've always felt that Umbreon should just be used in competitive battling. It's fine using it in-game, but it's a completely defensive-orientated Pokemon, and it learns few moves with any decent poewr, somethign which doesn't go well with it's poor base 65 Attack and 60 Special Attack. It's excellent defensively, but using it will make the battles drag out, and you'll soon grow bored of it.

I have to say Espeon.

I have both Umbreon and Espeon....my favorite is the Umbreon but it was hard to trade a eevee and then try and evolve it to the Espeon.

i like umbreon it is great at catching mew and mewtwo and others espeon is easy to get just keep leveling up eevee but umbreon i have no clue how to get it but i love a challenge

If anyones wondering how you get either of them, just level Eevee up in the day for Espeon and night for Umbreon. High happiness is essential, when the girl in golden rod tells you that "it must really love you" or something like that then your close. Soothe bell also doubles its happiness and haircut work too.

i got umbreon in my old game but i couldnt get passed the dark type person in the elite four so id go with espeon. im gonna choose espeon and see how it goes

If you use espeon in the elite four against the dark type person it will probly faint....

Umbreon. It's a tank and has VERY high Defense and Sp. Defense. It lacks in Attack and Sp. Attack though.
Espeon. I've never really been an Espeon person. On my HeartGold, it was totally non-helping to my team. Umbreon, on the other hand was great. So go Umbreon!

I would go for espeon because it is a psychic type and it has 2 tails oh,and about umbreon, I think it is weird because it has rings on it's arms. I also don't really like dark types. But I do like psychic though.

It really depends on what your using the Pokemon for battle espeon defens umbreon

On appearance, I would go Umbreon. The glowing rings, red eyes, I love him! But, his moves generally suck, and has horrible attack stats. (someone above me posted about Umbreon's rings on his "arms"? Umbreon has no arms! And his rings are beautiful! :P )

On stats, I would choose Espeon. She's a better fighter, and in my first heartgold game, I almost beat Lance with ONLY a lvl 68 espeon. She also has excellent moves, and considering the low quantity of good psychic types, Espeon is better.

FYI, that Espeon's moves were:
Pychic
Future sight
Shadow ball and
Attract

Espeon. Screw Umbreon. I had both at lvl. 100 (no hack) and Espeon was the better choice. Sure Umbreon's a wiz at defense 364 hp at lvl. 100, but Espeon's attack is wicked, ([b]ONE PSYCHIC KILLS THEM ALL). I believe it's learned at lvl. 60 something. Psychic might not work on dark, but hey, how many darks can you name off the top of your head?

PICK ESPEON!!!!!!!

You can get booth go to daycare put evlved evee in with ditto...

Espeon. Umbreon might have great defense, but come on, think of one great attack it can learn. It does hardly anything while espeon kills everyone with psychic. Definitely espeon.

If it's a boy, umbreon. If it's a girl espeon

I evolved my Eevee into Umbreon mainly to deal with the first of the Elite Four, Will, thinking it would do GREAT against his psychic types...what I failed to realize was that some of his Pokemon are two-typed.

Meaning they simply exploited Umbreon's other weaknesses. Will NEVER used Psychic when I was using Umbreon.

So even without ever evolving Eevee into Espeon, I would choose Espeon next time.

(Umbreon's defense is good but I would much rather have Espeon's attack!)

Forget only espeon or umbreon, if you are going to defeat elite four and lance go for a level 75 dragonite with vivid moves like flamethrower,surf,thunderbolt and hyperbeam.Believe me you will be able to sweap elipe four and lance in just minutes.Also go for accurate moves than more powerful but not accurate moves.

Play espeon because shes a boss.

It's a pretty tough choice, you could teach your umbreon stuff like hyperbeam or giga impact then give it some defensive powers such as moonlight and rest etc, umbreon is also very charming :P Gotta love the fact it loves the moon just like me. But anyhow, for a full on striker you should do espeon but if you feel your team is so squishy you'll be 1 hit KO by enemies I'd pick umbreon to with maybe a offensive edge.

Well, they are both awesome, but espeon is awesome, and probably one of the best eeveelutions.

Why are people under the impression that Espeon is a female? The vast majority of both Espeon and Umbreon are actually male. Only 12% are female.

Also, if anything, Umbreon should be female; if we take the Asian principles of Tao into account, Yang (The Sun/Day) is male energy, while Yin (The Moon/Night) is female energy.

I have both and like both ;)

Espeon.

Umbreon's bulky defenses and hp can be great, but poor attack base hurts him alot.

I used espeon in my heartgold, if you don't faint by psychic, will be killed with shadow ball/hidden power fighting. Also he can boost her super defenses and attack with calm mind, his 130 super attack base is awesome, nothing to go in the trash. And I prefer espeon's design than umbreon's. Also, you can learn him signal beam with the move tutor and go with:

Psychic
Signal beam
Substitute
Baton pass

You should give him leftovers, he already will make lots of pain in the foe's team. Modest nature is good, go with calm if you want more sp.defense. Have attention with pursuit. Baton pass if you're fighting with a dark type.

If you want a high defense Pokemon go for Umbreon if you want a high attack Pokemon go for Espeon. But I prefer Umbreon.

Ive had both espeon and umbreon going against the elite four, as well as dragon types like dragonite, and honestly, espeon is simply a tank, I maxed the speed and attack out and it'd destroy any Pokemon it went against in the first move or two. Especially if you give it shadowball along with psychic and if you can teach it a dark type move like bite or something stronger and it can even win against the dark type trainer at the elite four using shadowball umbreon just wasn't strong enough to do much damage until it's a much higher level than it's opponent. And dragon Pokemon are only good until lance when they get wiped out cause their strength is also their weakness against other dragon types.

Umbreon all the way I don't know what the use having sunlight is on espeon as anymove can easly take it below half health whereas umbreons moonlight is essential and can easly heal through all non super effective attacks also there isnt much Pokemon like umbreon whereas if I wanted a special attacker like espeon id just go for alakazam

Umbreons confuse ray further contributes to it's tankness as you take damage less often

Dark pulse
Confuse ray
Moonlight
Toxic
Impish nature max hp equalize defences

Umbreon ,during any battle with you'll need him/her

P.s I've had the same umbreon since I was 7

Clone the eevee and get all 4 good eeveelutions
Umbreon- the staller
Espeon- The psychic type madhouse
Vaporeon- The bulky and strong water type
Jolteon- The all out electric type

And in the last slot put either dragonit or kingdra

Well I guess that is depends on what kind of Pokemon you want. Umbreon is more on the defensive where as Espeon is more on the offensive. It also depends on the way you want to battle. If you wanted to bring down Pokemon over a while and defend well against most attacks then go for umbreon, if you want to wipe out other Pokemon fast but have a risk of getting K.O d sooner go for Espeon. It also depends on what type you want, if you want dark then go with umbreon and if you want a psychic go with Espeon. And perhaps if you like both then get both. Also, you can choose between the 2 if you like the colours of one more than the other then choose that way. I personally have been debating it for a while now but at the moment I am preferring to use umbreon because I respect it as a Pokemon and I love using it. But it is all up to how you want to battle and what Pokemon you want. But again it is all up to you, the trainer and what kind of Pokemon you would want, what type, colour, how you battle with it and how much you like the Pikemon over all and which you prefer.
I hope that helped you decide.✌🏻️👻

Umbreon, it's a tank and it's only weakness is Pokemon that you would not see battling bug, who would you see that has a caterpie on their team. Fairy and fighting and Umbreon look good doing it and if it was a battle Umbreon vs Espeon Umbreon would win.

Espeon is the super powerhouse, but umbreon is the shield. Personally, I prefer espeon than any others. She can KO almost every Pokemon with few hits. Umbreon is cool-if you want to get bored in the middle of the battle. But, it's up to you! (I really recommend espeon though)

This is hard ill go with espeon becuse of it's pokedex entery in Pokemon alpha sapphire espeon is extrenly loyal to it's trainer it considers to be wrothy it is said that this Pokemon developed it's precognitive powers to protect it's trainer from harm heres umbreons wich is not good for a trainer umbron evolved as a result of exposure to the moons waves it hides silently in darkness and waits for it foes to make a move the rings on it's body glow when it leaps to attack so ya thats why I will do espeon an espeon is the sun Pokemon an umbron is the moonlight Pokemon so ya

Am Umbreon
