Ok, here we go:

gentle is a bad nature in general. Try adamant or jolly for leafeon.

Umbreon can't be a tank, short and sweet. wall.

Flareon is a UU. If you're sure you can pull it off, go for it. You might want to try glaceon in it's place.

Hope I helped...

 

[Dispiacere]

I didn't choose Glaceon because I have far to many sp. sweepers on the team and its really made for that. Whats UU?(remember, this is my first attemp).
What nature would be best for leafeon out of the 2 you suggested?
And what should hold items be?
These Q's go to anyone, not just CloneD

 

[anemos]

UU means underused pokemon. on that note, OU means ovrused (popular pokemon) U means uber(unnatualy strong, banned from standard play)

 

[Dispiacere]

thanks anemos, what pokemon are considered as ubers(besides legendaries)?

 

[anemos]

* Deoxys (all forms)
* Groudon
* Kyogre

* Latios

[Dispiacere]

thank joos, what do you think about my team?

 

[anemos]

4 are weak to fighting, 3 weak to bug. replace saybleye with spiritomb, consider swapping sharpeedo for a milotic or a water type starter. thats my advice. And if you havent EV trained them, rebreed the team and start over. =(

(it sounds like a lot, but ive seen much worse teams. youre's is balenced enough)

Any other opinions? you didnt give me much information on the pokemon themselves.

 

[Dispiacere]

umm....the trainer card is kinda just a joke(dark is my fav type), I meant my eevee team in the first post

 

[anemos]

Oooo. =D i'll review it in a bit. i have a trade to make, then i will edit this post with my thoughts on it.

If you're making an Eeveelution team, may as well go for Baton Passing:

Umbreon @ Leftovers
Nature: Bold
EV: 200 HP / 144 Def / 166 SpDef
Trait: Synchronise
Mean Look
Baton Pass
Wish
Snatch/Toxic/Protect

My fave version of this uses Snatch. Trap something and pass to a counter. Wish support too.

Espeon @ Leftovers
Nature: Timid
EV: 6 HP / 252 Speed / 252 SpAtt
Trait: Synchronise
Calm Mind
Baton Pass
Psychic
Substitute/Reflect/Shadow Ball/Grass Knot

If you wish to use Reflect effectively, try more Def EV (taking from SpAtt, since you'll be raising that with Calm Mind anyway).

Vaporeon @ Leftovers
Nature: Bold
EV: 80 HP / 160 Def / 144 SpAtt / 126 SpDef
Trait: Water Absorb
Baton Pass
Acid Armor
Surf/Hydro Pump
Ice Beam

Defensive boost with AA.

Jolteon @ Leftovers
Nature: Timid
EV: 6 HP / 252 Speed / 252 SpAtt
Trait: Volt Absorb
Baton Pass
Agility
Thunderbolt
Substitute/Thunder Wave

Obviously, don't use T-Wave if you've got Toxic on Umbreon. Speed passer.

Leafeon @ Leftovers
Nature: Adamant
EV: 252 Att / 252 Speed / 6 HP
Trait: Leaf Guard
Baton Pass
Swords Dance/Synthesis/X-Scissor
Sunny Day
Leaf Blade

Extra lasting power with Synthesis, or pass Swords Dance for Flareon. Sunny
Day for status absorb. X-Scissor for something different

Flareon @ Leftovers
Nature: Adamant
EV: 252 Speed / 252 Attack / 6 HP
Trait: Flash Fire
Baton Pass
Fire Fang/Overheat
Sunny Day/Will-O-Wisp/Yawn
Roar/Charm

Bit different this one. For a sucky fire type, he supports Leafeon well. Sunny Day on here if you don't want to waste a move on Leafeon. Roar or Charm for pseudohaze. Fire Fang/Overheat could do with a Swords Dance passed to really be effective. 95 base SpDef is ok(for Flamethrower), but it seems a shame to waste 130 base Attack.

 

[Syaoran]

You have an Eevee team without a single Baton Passer? that's like a necessity here. But to save you the trouble, I suggest not making an Eevee team. Why? Simply because Flareon is the only one who has a fire move, which is extremely important in D/P competitive play considering steel types are very common, and Flareon sucks so much.

 

[Dispiacere]

I like the challenge of making an eevee team ;) I would only want 1 baton passer, what one would be best?

 

[anemos]

I'm afraid you dont understand, you shffle thru team memembers, stat boosting each. each eeveelution is only good at one stat.

 

[Toothache]

Depends what you want the rest of the team to do. Either Umbreon for it's Mean Look passing, or Jolteon for it's high speed for Agility/Substitute passes, make for decent ok single Baton Passers, but the choice needs to support the rest of the team. It's no good having Agility passes if the rest of your team are slow Pokemon like Snorlax, Slowbro and Rhyperior, for example.

 

[anemos]

so th eevee team could be fun, but i would expect much from it. please prove me wrong, i love seeing new teams.

 

[Dispiacere]

thanks everyone, I will take everything you guys said into consideration and hopefully with all the EV training and breeding I do I will be able to make a nice team

 

[anemos]

good luck. want any more comments? =/

 

[Dispiacere]

right now I am focusing on breeding a really nice eevee, I noticed that the most stat I can get for a lv.1 eevee is 6, is that true or am I just unlucky with IV's?(I just did the IV calc and non were above 25)

 

[anemos]

all level 1s have stats of 5 or 6. you need to rare kandy them to see their IV's
