* Umbreon is the only non-{{type|Psychic}} Pokémon to be able to have the Ability Synchronize.

* Umbreon is the only [[Eeveelution]] that had a unique [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] in its debut generation.

Umbreon's origins are uncertain, though it could be based on a {{wp|black cat}}, which was considered to be an omen of bad luck (in Western countries, contrary to Japan's viewpoint in which they considered it lucky), and can be interpreted as the reasoning behind the {{t|Dark}} typing. Its long ears are similar to those of a hare and may originate from the East Asian legends concerning a {{wp|Moon rabbit}}. The rings on Umbreon's body resemble Egyptian lunar markings and jewelry that have been associated with animal sculptures, such as cat statues of the Egyptian goddess {{wp|Bastet}}. While Bastet was originally a lioness warrior and the goddess of the sun, Greeks occupying ancient Egypt toward the end of its civilization changed her into the goddess of the moon. This change may have drawn some of the inspiration for the Pokémon's lunar theme.
