Need help deciding...

I need help deciding on the moves/item for my Umbreon (yes i realize umbreon may be considered over-used but i don't care, i like umbreon)

Originally it was going to be the typical, annoying umbreon. The moves were going to be Toxic, Moonlight, and two other annoying moves, and the item was leftovers. Now, however I thought it may be interesting to give it a Flame Orb and see its syncronize ability take in and burn the opponent (and itself), then use rest to heal after a few turns; if the opponent switches I can still use toxic, and then the last move slot would be something else annoying (possibly Torment, Snatch, etc.) The problem is I am not sure if burning my own umbreon would be a waste of it or not, or if the moves I chose are considerably good for it. If anyone could give me a few pointers or something, i'd be thankful.
 
Burning your Umbreon would be bad, you'll be suprised at how fast Umbreon will die. Not to mention it cuts it's attack >_>. Leftovers is the best answer. There is the Toxic-Stall set(which I really hate, seriously, it's a waste) or there is:

Umbreon@Leftovers
Trait: Synchronize
Careful nature(+Sp.Def -Sp.Atk)
EVs: 252HP / 252Sp.Def / 4Def

Curse
Baton Pass
Payback/Taunt
Wish

Simple set, really. Curse up and Baton Pass. Wish to heal the receiving Pokemon and Payback to attack so Taunt doesn't screw you up. 100BP(non-STAB) is pretty nice. And Taunt can be used to stop people from setting up on you while you are Cursing. Best Umbreon set IMO.

Edit: I just realized this was from a month ago >_>.
 
iirc flame orb doesn't even work with synchronize.

Lol...I was thinking that myself. Anyway, either go with flamehaze94's moveset or give us some more information about the type of Umbreon you want (other than that terrible Flame Orb set).
 
Ok. I didn't think it sounded too good to me, so thank you O_o Maybe I will try the set you mentioned, FlameHaze, but ok flame orb is definetely out ^_^; And I was going for a defencive umbreon, so yes flame orb would kill it.
