• Yawn can be used to force switches or to put a Pokemon to sleep and it works well with Protect.
• If you want to use a recovery move just to heal Umbreon, you could use Moonlight.
• Pursuit is an option over Payback to trap stuff like Azelf, but base 65 attack won't help much.
• Dark Pulse and a Calm nature can be used over Payback + Careful nature.

• Cobalion. Cobalion can come in on any move, possibly get a Justified boost, and OHKO with Close Combat. or it can just set up.
• If Umbreon isn't carrying Toxic, walls such as Slowbro and Zapdos can wall Umbreon.
