Again, I am really looking forward to this set.
 
Man awesome card great art can't wait for it, hopefully I pull one in my first pack :p I like how the Power is called Cloud-Covered Moon that's the cheesiest thing I've ever heard.
 
I love this card! Power is basicly a built in Super Scoop Up. This is my second favorite Prime made, next to Raichu Prime.

Cloud-Covered Moon, Everyone Explode Now, Stupid Head...anymore unorginal names, Nintendo?


Even though a lot of the names are unorigal, I still love them. Who wouldn't love to scream EVERYONE EXPLODE NOW!?
 
I would love to scream that at Pre-Release, but I'd rather not be banned from it by calling someone a "Stupid Head".
 
"Cloud covered moon" is slightly less stupid than "doom news" just barely. On a different note, the card really sucks. 60-90 damage on 3 energy? no thanks. The power could be neat with some kind of energy trans, but the flippy-ness makes it too inconsistent to build a deck around.

If you can get all four eevee evolved on the field, the power does 100 damage with a special dark (or 120 with e-belt). Having a built in SSU is also nice, since it could combo nicely with the eeveelutions from RR with a BTS in play.

Is there really a move called Doom News? On what Pokemon is that?

My one problem is that with E-belt it only has 120 Hp and if you get a tails with Cloud Covered Moon your opponent has 2 prizes.

True enough, but if you run Espeon from MD, that adds +20 HP. Gives it 140 then. That weakness sucks tho.
 
haha You know you want to buy one. But you could just buy them individually!! buying a box of MD is such a waste!!

Everyone Explode Now
 
The other Umbreon we should be getting in HS Undaunted is much better. First attack does 30 damage for 1 {D} and prevents all damage and effects done from the defending Pokemon that has any Poke-Powers and Poke-Bodies.

One of my friends was testing it in his new deck with Gengar SF and it was nasty. I managed to come really close to beating it with Charizard but that new Umbreon kept slowing me down with that annoying first attack.
 
OK then. We can actually build a deck around this card. Throw a Special Dark and a DCE on Umbreon Prime, and run Espeon MD, Umbreon MD, and Espeon Prime and you'd kick some tail. A nice combo you could use is to run a regular Eeveelution line, with the Eeveelutions from RR, and Undevelop them when they're about to get KO'd. Cloud-Covered Moon and put the card back into your hand. It's flippy, but so is SSU.

Running Eevee MD here with Call for Family is a must. Get the three other Eevee onto your Bench, and evolve each as soon as possible. Uxies will also be needed. I assume Quick Ball and Dusk Ball will see some more play now that Claydol's gone and some consistency will be needed to get a quick start, so those will get your Espeon MD and everything else. If I were to play this deck, I would run:

4-1/2/1/1/1 Eevee MD-Espeon Prime/Umbreon Prime/Espeon MD/Umbreon MD/Flareon RR

The Flareon is used against Dialga G LV.X, because that's gonna be a problem when your Poke-Bodies are shut down and your Espeon MD/Umbreon MD support has been shut down. Otherwise, you'd be covering Umbreon Prime with those cards. If you run Expert Belt, which is definitely recommended, you'd be doing at least 90 damage, given you've attached a Special Dark and a Double Colorless Energy. Add three more Eeveelutions, and that's 120.

The possibility to OHKO multiple Pokemon in the metagame doing this kind of damage is amazing. Consistency in this deck is key, which is why I would prefer someone run two or three Uxie LA. Another idea to start would be the use of a Sableye start. Considering that you'd need to Pokemon Collector, and the fact you'd want to get Sableye out of the Active spot so you can Call for Family or use Signs of Evolution with the other Eevee from Rising Rivals, an Unown Q or two would be necessary.

I think Umbreon Prime has got potential for sure, but being consistent in these times without Claydol is a necessity.
