    I'm planning out a team I will make soon (and have all the Pokemon I'll be using for it, just not trained yet), and I needed ideas for their movesets. I'll post the moves I was considering (not natures or EVs, since this is just for movesets and I'm not planning on using this team in a lot of competitive battles).

    Espeon
    -Psychic
    -Shadow Ball
    -Morning Sun
    -???

    Breloom
    (I already evolved it and decided not to do Spore/Focus Punch by the way)
    -Mach Punch
    -Stun Spore
    -Mind Reader
    -Dynamicpunch


    Arcanine
    -Flamethrower (or another decent fire move)
    -???
    -???
    -???

    Umbreon
    -Toxic
    -Attract
    -Confuse Ray
    -Moonlight


    Floatzel
    -Brine (or another good water move. Not surf though since it hits the partner in double battles)
    -Crunch
    -Ice Beam
    -???

    Ampharos
    -Rain Dance
    -Thunder
    -Signal Beam
    -???
     
    If you aren't doing a spore puncher breloom, run either CB or scarf.
     
    Novelty Espeon@Choice Specs
    Modest/TImid
    Psychic
    Shadow Ball
    Grass Knot
    Swift/HP Fighting

    Swift is if you don't want to bother getting pseudo Shadow-Punch, in Which NOTHING can resist, unless they made either
    a) a Normal/Ghost Type (But Scappy/Forsight can fix that)
    b) a new Wonder Guard Pokemon that's not weak to both Fighting and Ghost (Even then, Mold Breaker/Gastro Acid can fix that)
     
    Arcanine @ Choice Scarf/Specs
    -Flamethrower
    -Dragon Pulse
    -Extremespeed
    -Hidden Power (Grass, Ice, Ground) <-- whatever floats your boat

    Floatzel @ Life Orb?
    -Waterfall/Aqua Jet ; he needs physical moves
    -Crunch/Brick Break
    -Ice Fang
    -Bulk Up

    Bulk Up and prepare to sweep.

    Not so sure about Ampharos. I've seen Substitute + Focus Punch used on him, but I don't know his moveset... ._.;
     
    Umm... MindPunching? Its one of the most horrible strategies around.

    Breloom works best with SporePunching. But if you do not wish to, I suggest you get a Choiced Breloom.

    As for Umbreon, your moveset is by far messed up. If the opponent simply switches out, then Umbreon is screwed. Thats the main reason that Confuse Ray and Attract are never used.

    Try this:

    Umbreon@Leftovers

    - Wish
    - Mean Look
    - Baton Pass
    - Substitute / Taunt / Confuse Ray

    Taunt preferably.
     
    Ampharos@Choice Specs/Scarf
    Modest/Timid
    Thunderbolt
    HP Ice
    Power Gem/Signal Beam/Focus Blast
    Power Gem/Signal Beam/Focus Blast

    Focus Blast > Power Gem IMO; there's nothing Power Gem can hit that Focus Blast can't (save for ghosts, but you probably wouldn't be using Power Gem on ghosts anyway). Power Gem only helps for like fire and flying. But flying already surrenders to T-bolt, and the main fire-type threat is Infernape which you probably would switch Amphy out anyway if you come up against one.

    Other attacks look good, but then again I don't know much about Ampharos so...

    Noit an expert, but stick Grass Knot on there.

    Breloom
    (I already evolved it and decided not to do Spore/Focus Punch by the way)
    -Mach Punch
    -Stun Spore Spore Focus Punch, is your only way to go. No Mind Reader Dynamic Punch, and Loom fails without Jask support.
    -Mind Reader
    -Dynamicpunch


    Arcanine
    -Flamethrower (or another decent fire move)
    -???
    -???
    -???

    Umbreon
    -Toxic
    -Attract
    -Confuse Ray
    -Moonlight
    MEan Look, Taunt, Baton Pass, Toxic FTW

    Floatzel
    -Brine (or another good water move. Not surf though since it hits the partner in double battles)
    -Crunch
    -Ice Beam
    -???
    Waterfall, Ice Fang, Crunch, Bulk Up as Curry said/B]

    Ampharos
    -Rain Dance
    -Thunder
    -Signal Beam
    -???



    Ok, so your team has only one wall, and besides that has two fail sweepers, Breloom and Ampharos. You need a physical wal and a Rapid Spinner.
     
    Use SubPunching Breloom!! Or else you'll fail to hit a CB Blissey D:
