>>46919013Yeah, Umbreon is an effective wall in this meta due to Dynamax on the whole, really. With the right investment it can eat most neutral Max Moves for breakfast, and the ones that ARE strong against it are either rare as STAB or coverage (Fairy, Bug) or are just considered not very good or worth using (Fighting). Along with the utility of Yawn and such, and the extra healing in Sun that you mentioned.
People will have you believe that VGC is now HO unga bunga due to the absurd power leveln brought by restricteds like Kyogre, Zacian, and Calyrex and the rampant DoT effects from Coalossal and Venusaur, but its due to those things that having a defensive backbone that can somewhat withstand some of them is important.
