Umbreon UD is an interesting tech against DialgaChomp. Does it run ANYTHING other than the base Dialga G that doesn't have a Pokepower or Pokebody? Because Umbreon shuts it down completely if no.
(For those who don't know)
Umbreon - Darkness - HP 90
Stage 1 - Evolves from Eevee
[D] Moonlight Fang: 30 damage. Prevent all effects of attacks, including damage, done to this Pokemon by your opponent’s Pokemon with any Poke-Powers or Poke-Bodies during your opponent’s next turn.
[D][C] Quick Attack: 30 damage. Flip a coin, if heads this attack does an additional 30 damage.
Weakness: Fighting (x2)
Resistance: Psychic (-20)
Retreat: 1
Ummm...Moonlight Fang does wayyyy too little damage, and Deafen+Flash Bite+Second Strike 2HKOs while shutting off Trainers for a turn. Cute thought, but ultimately not worth the time or space. If Moonlight Fang was 1 for 50/60 or something, then I'd say yes.
To answer the OP, besides Claydol and Unown (G), DialgaChomp loses nothing to the rotation and it gains Energy Exchange Unit, which is rather sexy for grabbing those SP Metals and DCEs early (and it makes sure that you don't draw your Basic Energies too fast; you can just shuffle them in and Cyrus for them later).
