Summary
A talentedPokemonfan has made a painting of Umbreon based on one of its most popular TCG cards, achieving an impressive result. Over the years of the franchise,Pokemonfans have met hundreds of charismatic critters, but few have won the hearts of the audience like the Eeveelutions. Each Eevee variant has a different appearance and set of abilities based on howPokemontrainers decide to evolve the creature.
One of these Eeveelutions is Umbreon, a Pokemon that fans met in Gen 2. While Eevee unlocks new forms whentrainers use a evolution stone, the process to turn it into Umbreon is different. Eevee evolves into Umbreon when it has maximum friendship, and it levels up at night. With this, the Pokemon gains black fur symbolizing the night, and yellow eyes that glow when the Pokemon is exposed to the moon’s aura. Umbreon is a much-loved Eevelution in thePokemoncommunity, as evidenced by a talented fan has produced some incredible artwork based on it.
