Why does Umbreon have rings?

Umbreon has yellow rings on its body because they are a distinctive characteristic that gives it a unique appearance and play a significant role in its evolution and abilities, with these rings glowing when it is excited or exposed to the moon’s aura, which fills it with a mysterious energy. The rings are an integral part of Umbreon’s design and are a result of its evolution from Eevee, which occurs when Eevee is exposed to the moonlight, altering its genetic structure and giving it a Dark-type classification.
