Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Thanks for the writing tips, will definitely keep it in mind for future writing on Smogon
Edited the OP with the GP changes and this analysis is now done.
My apologies for taking a while to make the changes but they're done now. This is now ready for GP! If anyone has any comments on stuff I could add in or change, feel free to say something.
You're right. Most Umbreons I run into are typically Impish since Umbreon doesn't normally run into situations where it gets Foul Played or confused but Bold is definitely the optimal choice on this set. Edited it in.

So after looking at nouthuca and finding some top placing teams with Kommo-o on it, there was only 2 teams on there (no surprise to me Kommo-o is kinda bad...) with Kommo-o on it and neither of them ran a set similar to what I have posted above. The two sets on nouthuca were offensive DD...
gmt-4 here, can play basically any day as well but I'd prefer to on Wednesday, Saturday is fine too. I should be around from 12pm to 4pm your time on those days
Voting for Lionyx's Mega Charizard X. Mindgames are a very notable thing to mention here, as the player may assume that Mega Metagross can just outspeed you and KO with Zen Headbutt/Thunder Punch/Rock Slide if you're Zard Y, only for Zard-X to tank a hit and cripple it for the rest of the match...

Nice defensive answer to Metagross on stall teams. Just burn it first turn and proceed to Recover off damage and Foul Play whenever you...
