How good is Umbreon, gameplay wise?
I've never used an Umbreon and I wanted to evolve an eevee in Heartgold, but I already have Fire, Water, Electric and Psychic covered.

It's a defensive Pokemon.

It can't hit worth a damn.

Umbreon is a fantastic tank, it has the best special defense of all the Eevee evolutions. Though there are better tanks, if you know how to use him correctly he can work great. I use him in most my competitive teams

Umbreon isn't too good in-game. It's a defensive Pokemon with bad Speed, Attack, and Special Attack. Seriously, it won't be killing much unless you stall out the opponent with Toxic.

If you really want slow battles with stall techniques in-game, then go for Umbreon. They. don't. die.
Unless you have a moveset that is not Toxic/Payback/Moonlight/Confuse Ray

Point is, defensive Pokemon like Umbreon aren't very good in-game. But, you can try a Curse/Payback/Moonlight/Return moveset if you really want it to be offense. But, since you seem to be looking for another eeveelution, try Leafeon with Swords Dance/Leaf Blade/X-Scissor/Return.

He said he's playing HeartGold. Ergo, no Leafeon or Glaceon.

It's absolute shit in-game. Unless you're using it competitively, it has almost zero use whatsoever. No use for strictly defensive Pokemon in-game.

Ditch your current electric type for Jolteon

Current Electric is Ampharos, is it wise changing for Jolteon?
Also thanks to everyone for the help

Ampharos is a good electric type already, but if you're really bothered by that low speed, then go ahead and get Jolteon.

Only if you want to. Ampharos is ok, but Jolteon's among the best of Electric types.

Jolteon is fucking amazing, fast and can hit pretty hard. I'd go for it.

Umbreon is absolutely dreadful in gen 5, whatever you do don't transfer it over to BW. However, in gen 4 Umbreon is undeniably the best trap passer in the game. Teach it Mean Look / Yawn / Protect / Baton Pass, and proceed to set up lolzy baton pass chains on anything that doesn't OHKO it.

Caveat for Jolteon: He's good but he never learns any fucking moves. TM him Thunderbolt and he's dynamite. Without TMs he's shit for ages.

Umbreon's a gnarly ass nigga. Use him defensively.

Arguably, the coolest eeveelution ever. Nothin else touches the dude. Not even Vaporeon. Not even edgy, just the batman of eeveelutions.

I actually find Umbreon to be very good ingame with Attract, Confuse Ray, and Toxic.
