Not much has changed here since the last list, though Umbreon has fallen from the Top 20 with Regice taking its place. That doesn't mean that the Dark-type Eeveelution is that far off from the Top 20, though. Umbreon is still the overall 21st-ranked Pokémon when powered up with Candy XL and suited with the moves Snarl, Foul Play, and Last Resort.
