[SET COMMENTS]
Umbreon's ability to support other teammates and check strong special attackers such as Chandelure, Indeedee-M, and Necrozma gives it a significant niche in RU. Bulky Pokémon without a reliable recovery move appreciate Umbreon keeping them healthy with Wish and Heal Bell. Protect allows Umbreon to safely recover with Wish and scout opposing Choice item Pokemon. If another teammate already has Heal Bell or Aromatherapy, Umbreon can use Toxic to weaken opposing Pokémon. Foul Play is Umbreon's most reliable offensive move and helps it to better deal with physical attackers such as Metagross, Zygarde-10%, and Crobat. The given EVs coupled with a Calm nature allow Umbreon to check special attackers more effectively. Leftovers gives Umbreon passive recovery and works nicely with Protect. However, Heavy-Duty Boots can be used to prevent entry hazard damage, as this cuts into Umbreon's longevity and forces it to use Wish itself more often.
Galarian Weezing is a phenomenal partner for Umbreon because it covers Umbreon's weaknesses, checks common Fighting-types and powerful physical attackers such as Mienshao, Heracross, and Obstagoon, and removes entry hazards with Defog. In return, Umbreon covers Galarian Weezing's weakness to Psychic-type moves and, more importantly, keeps it healthy with its Wish support. Doublade and Galarian Slowbro are other examples that have good defensive synergy with Umbreon. In general, many defensive and bulky Pokemon without reliable recovery and with susceptibility to status moves, such as Seismistoad, Rhyperior, and Steelix, appreciate Umbreon as a teammate. Furthermore, if Umbreon is not running Heavy-Duty Boots, a hazard remover like Noivern or Togekiss is very helpful. Since Umbreon is a very passive Pokémon, bulky setup sweepers like Calm Mind Suicune, Galarian Slowbro, and Nasty Plot Togekiss can take advantage of it. Powerful attackers like Heracross and Choice Specs Toxtricity can deal with these threats. Lastly, although Umbreon is a good special wall, some special attackers like Nasty Plot Thundurus and Choice Specs Gardevoir can overwhelm Umbreon quickly. Diancie and Registeel can deal with these threats defensively, while faster Pokemon like Raikou and Choice Scarf Darmanitan check them offensively.
