This is not just a penumbral eclipse though, this is Magic Umbreon's Eclipse of moonlight mayhem :lol:
Pokémon
Eclipse is an all-basic deck (apart from Cresselia LvX). Heavy Roseanne's Research and Holon Mentor are played so that you can get everything you need for a Turn 2 Lunarock setup and remain useful supporters for later game.
Lunatone's poké-power can discard cards from your hand then you can use Solrock to attach them to your benched pokémon. Together with mentor, getting energy in the discard should not be a problem. Each Lunatone in play can use its poké-power to discard/draw each turn so if you have three out, you can start going through your deck fast. The deck is packed with discard fodder - cards crucial for setup and in certain matchups but useless later game so can be discarded.
Solrock has its great Sol Rock attack that can KO Pachirisu in two attacks and can be performed from the first turn of the game. Its poké-body is also helpful early on. If you draw into or search out Solrock while a psychic or fighting type is active, playing Solrock means it can "leap in" by retreating the active pokémon for free.
Holon's Castform can be searched with any of the supporter card that pull basic pokémon from your deck into your hand. When it returns an energy card attached to the pokémon you attach it to, that energy can be discarded with Lunatone or a supporter and then attached with Sol Charge. Castform can pay for the energy costs without needing the correct basic energy attached and can suprise an opponent by making a pokémon they thought couldn't attack able to attack.
Cresellia is needed to level up. It has poor attacks but can retreat for free while moonlight stadium is in effect.
Cresselia LvX can be energised with Sol Charge. Each Cresselia you have in play can use its poké-power to move a damage counter - healing one of your pokémon and damaging one of your opponent's. This makes it easier to use its Moon Skip attack. Lots of cards in the deck help to soften opponent's pokémon (such as Sol Charge) so hopefully you can claim those crucial two prizes. Unfortunately, Cresselia LvX cannot be pulled with roseanne's or mentor.
Mew ex can be energised with Sol Charge to devolve your opponent's pokémon. With its poké-power, not only do you know whether your opponent has the general resources to pose a threat, you also know if they can evolve the pokémon next turn or not. Mew ex can flee from the active position with moonlight stadium and keep a close watch on your opponent's hand thereafter.
Absol ex is mainly here for is poké-power which can setup a critical Moon Skip. Absol ex can retreat for free with moonlight stadium. Psychic pulse has potential use because Cresselia LvX can place counters on different pokémon so it deals decent damage as a last resort.
Sableye is a useful tech against setup pokémon such as Pachirisu or Phione if you start with it and can also help against cards with one attack but a high retreat cost such as Blissey and Wailord. Unfortunately an attached Unown G will remove the effect from Disable. Excavate is a useful poké-power in combination with Lunatone because you can see what you will draw before you draw. With lots of disposable mentors, extra Solrocks and such, Lunatone's efficency is heavily increased. Of course, Sableye can also flee for free with Moonlight stadium.
