Help with Eeveelution team

okay, i'm new to NetBattle. I've always liked the Eevee line, and wanted to try making a team with them. Needless to say, with my lack of experience in competitive battling, it hasn't gone well.

I've seen Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Umbreon used on teams before, so that's half of my team that i know sees competitive play. However, i don't really know how to set them up for maximum effeciency. Here's what i have now (bear in mind that it is definately not very good yet. Also, EVs and Natures haven't really been done, since I don't really know what I'm doing. Any help in that area would be appreciated):

Eevee (M) @ Leftovers ** Eon
Trait: Run Away (lol)
Shadow Ball
Return
HP Dragon
Wish

Jolteon (M) @ Leftovers ** Thunders
Trait: Volt Absorb
Bite
Thunder
Thunderbolt
Wish

Flareon (M) @ Leftovers ** Booster
Trait: Flash Fire
Return
Flamethrower
Hyper Beam (I know it's not generally a good move, but with the high ATK, i figured a last-ditch shot.... but it hasn't helped.)
Shadow Ball

Vaporeon (M) @ Leftovers/Chesto Berry ** Showers
Trait: Water Absorb
Surf
Ice Beam
Haze
Rest

Umbreon (M) @ Leftovers ** Shadows
Trait: Synchronize
Faint Attack/Confuse Ray (I tried confuse ray, but i was having trouble using my umbreon properly without any offensive moves, so i added in Faint Attack, to give me some option.)
Toxic
Mean Look
Moonlight/Rest

Espeon (F) @ Leftovers ** Espers
Trait: Synchronize
Psychic
Bite
Substitute
Morning Sun

Again, it's not great. Not by a long shot, im sure. But any help, on any of them would be greatly appreciated. I'm definately keeping the 5 evolutions, but Eevee doesn't seem to be useful at all, so i'm up for dropping it. on the Gameboy games, i used to run Aerodactyl as my 6th, and i wouldn't mind doing so here, if somebody thinks that'd be helpful. Also, if i can just get an idea of what stats to focus on with the EVs for each Pokemon, i can figure out exact spreads on my own.

Thanks in advance for any help!

nooblet: thanks for those links, they've helped a bit. however, the one thing they don't help with is how to sync all these guys up into one good team. that's where i'll need the most help.

yeah, eevee wasn't worth the thematic element, so i put in tauros. here's my team now (haven't updated it with anything from those links):

Tauros (M) @ Choice Band ** El Toro
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 ATK / 252 SPD
Adamant Nature (+ATK, -SATK)
Earthquake
HP Ghost
Return
Iron Tail

Jolteon (M) @ Leftovers ** Thunders
Trait: Volt Absorb
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SPD / 252 SATK
Timid Nature (+SPD, -ATK)
Thunderbolt
HP Ice (not the default SPD-lowering set-up, but the ATK/DEF lowering one)
Substitute
Baton Pass

Flareon (M) @ Leftovers ** Booster
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 4 HP / 252 ATK / 252 SATK
Brave Nature (+ATK, -SPD)
Return
Shadow Ball
HP Fighting
Flamethrower / Overheat <-- Which one?

Vaporeon (M) @ Leftovers ** Showers
Trait: Water Absorb
EVs: 140 HP / 252 DEF / 118 SATK
Bold Nature (+DEF, -ATK)
Surf
Ice Beam
Wish
Protect

Espeon (F) @ Leftovers ** Espers
Trait: Synchronize
EVs: 196 HP / 160 SPD / 152 SDEF
Calm Nature (+SDEF, -ATK)
Psychic
Baton Pass
Substitute
Calm Mind

Umbreon (M) @ Leftovers ** Shadows
Trait: Synchronize
EVs: 212 HP / 36 DEF / 224 SPD / 36 SDEF
Bold Nature (+DEF, -ATK)
Mean Look
Taunt
Toxic
Rest

Umbreon is i think the most abnormal of the set... I haven't tested it as such yet, so idk if my warped plan will work. Here's hoping! Any thoughts on how to better synchronize this team would be greatly appreciated. and if there's a better replacement for Eevee than Tauros, feel free to suggest it.
