Ah, super helpful answer since I've never tried breeding to this extent before to make "competitive" builds for any pokemon. I'm on track to get Wish soon based on your explanation and am pretty early game.
After digging around the internet a bit I'm also a bit confused on remaining moves like toxic and heal bell across generations. Here's my understanding for generation 7 Umbreon builds(Pokemon reborn):
- Wish (as you explained through breeding)
- Foul Play (as you explained through move tutor but just later in the game)
- Toxic (at the very least through the TM late game, not sure about breeding)
- Protect (TM early in the game or breeding)
- Curse (Breed)
- Heal bell (not sure on this but I think it's possible through move relearner
So my takeaway is the most viable Umbreon here is defensive Cleric with Foul Play/Wish/Protect/Toxic
But in generation 8 (Pokémon Rejuvenation)
- Wish (as you explained through breeding)
- Foul Play (random internet post said no more Foul Play for some reason)
- Toxic (not through breeding, but maybe through TM)?
- Protect (TM early in the game or breeding)
- Curse (Breed)
- Heal bell (not sure on this but random internet post said no more heal bell for eevee/umbreon?)
And my takeaway here is the most viable Umbreon is just a Curse based bulky tank?
Are these generally correct? Thanks
