I've never taken the Nuzlocke challenge myself, but I hope my advice will be somewhat useful...



Pelipper's pretty bad. I wouldn't waste a good TM on it. Like Aerial Ace... =/

Electrode on a Nuzlocke team feels kind of iffy. It will neither sweep nor tank - it has no purpose. And I don't see why it wouldn't be allowed to use Selfdestruct, but it'd kill it, so what's the point? A heroic sacrifice? =)

Rock Tomb is useless - replace it with Dragon Claw maybe?

---

Replace Vital Throw with Brick Break

Vileplume has some interesting moveset options:

Sunny Day / Solarbeam / Moonlight / Sleep Powder

The sunnybeam combo is interchangeable with Sludge Bomb/Giga Drain. The latter is probably more safe.
Aromatherapy could replace one of your support moves. I think it can be used outside of battle too, so you won't have to be so afraid of getting poisoned.
Keep in mind that Vileplume can't learn Moonlight, so make sure you have it before you use a Leaf Stone.

As for Vulpix - it's movepool is pretty sad so there aren't a lot of moves to recommend. Flamethrower and Will-O-Wisp are good, so is Overheat (if you know when to use it).
