Origins and Trivia
Name origin: Umbreon derives from the Latin umbra, “shadow”. In Japanese, Blacky combines “black” and “lucky”. In French, it is called Noctali, from “nocturne”.
Inspiration: It recalls a black cat, a symbol of bad luck in the West but a good-luck charm in Japan, hence its Japanese name. Its glowing rings recall the jewelry of Bastet, the Egyptian cat goddess.
Evolution: Eevee evolves into Umbreon if it levels up at night with high friendship; during the day, it becomes Espeon. Both first appeared in Pokémon Gold and Silver.
In the anime: Gary, Ash’s rival, owns one, revealed in episode 171, when Ash discovers that his rival’s Eevee has evolved.
