Umbreon ex is a bit of a difficult card to use. Its first move, Moon Mirage, does decent damage while confusing the opponent, while its second move, Onyx, can let you take a Prize card in exchange for discarding all its attached Energy. This makes Umbreon ex a bit of an anti-meta pick.

However, keeping in mind that the meta is dominated by Gardevoir ex, and the fact that Moon Mirage KO’s it from full health, Umbreon ex isn’t an anti-meta pick that should be entirely ignored.

Pokemon TCG Best Umbreon Ex Deck Guide Overview

The thought process behind this deck is to set up and confuse the opponent while attacking with Umbreon ex’s Moon Mirage. Once you only have a single Prize left, use Onyx to claim it.
