Item priority is items with HP such as Resonant Guard, Buddy Barrier and Score Shield but avoiding using them when faced up against an Umbreon. Focus Band is an otherwise strong alternative to deal with enemy Umbreon stealing shields. Rapid Fire Scarf can be considered if a deliberate action of using Flail only just before or after Rapid Fire Scarf activates.
