    Well then you'd want the Rapid Spin set as Rest w/e Sleep Talk is terrible.

    Thanks for your help Pokedra, I think I might just go with that, of course, since I accidentally beat a few pokemon already, I would have to make the
    EV: 251 HP / 252 Def/ 1 SpD/ 6 Spe

    But since Squirtle can't learn Yawn I will go with:
    Surf
    Rapid Spin
    Toxic
    Ice Beam

    you may want protect over icebeam for toxic stalling but its up to you
    how much do ivs actually affect a pokemons stats

    IV's can matter quite a bit.

    For example a Adamant Salamence with 252 EV's in Spe and 1 IV in Spe will get 268 Spe whethas a Adamant Salamence with 252 Spe EV's and a 31 IV in Spe will get 299 Spe so it can make quite a difference.

    I know it doesn't do anything, but I already have that one effort point, so I just listed it anyway.

    Then you should have 252 HP / 244 Def / 4 SpD / 4 Spe, so you don't waste the 3 EVs, and make use of them.

    If the two pokemon that you are breeding are from different languages, then the chances of getting a shiny pokemon are four times higher than normal. So 1 in 2048 instead of 1 in 8192. Still very unlikely, but I got a shiny on my 40th egg.

    @wolFLARE
    Thanks for the extra info!

    I'm slightly beginning to understand EV's I think..

    I just was wondering, what does something like 4HP/252spAtk/252spDef/ mean?

    It means that there is 4 EVs in HP, 252 EVs in SpA, and 252 EVs in SpD. For more information of EVs, look at the second post, in the "Compiled Guides" sticky.

    You can only add EVs using the vitamins until the Pokemon has 100 EVs in that stat. In other words, you need to start with the vitamins, or else they will not work.

    It's hard to fit an Umbreon on teams these days due to the extreme offensive nature of the game that is played. However, it does have one useful niche...

    Umbreon@Leftovers
    Careful
    252 HP/92 sp.def/164 speed

    Mean Look
    Baton Pass
    Wish
    Taunt/Yawn/Toxic/Protect

    Umbreon is notorious for trap passing. Mean Look whatever stays in/switches in, and if you can survive and take advantage of the Pokemon, Baton Pass to a counter or set-up sweeper and pound away. Wish is for survival, as well as team support.

    Last slot is for whatever you need the most. Taunt to stop phazers, Yawn to put counters to sleep/switch out, giving you some SR damage, as well as a better chance to set up Mean Look/Baton Pass. Toxic is to allow Umbreon to at least do some sort of damage to non-steels/poisons.

    Other sets include Cursepassing (Curse, Baton Pass, Payback, Wish) and support (Wish, Yawn, Toxic, etc.) These sets need different EV spreads, so if they are more appealing, just post.
