So I'm making a trick room team. I worked out everything but the EV spreads. Please comment on the EV's that are not 252 only, I have the nature boosted ones correct but not sure exactly what to do with the other 258.

I'm not feeling it with Aurorus, looks like you're spreading it out too much especially since its Attack is kinda low. Giga Impact (and most recharge moves) are inefficient because they give your opponent a free turn and, in this case, would also use up a turn on Trick Room. If you're looking for an alternate Rock or Ice physical attacker you can try out Tyranitar or Abomasnow (auto-weather and possible Megas) plus they can offer mixed coverage.

As for the EV spreads, I typically build them towards 252 HP to give it bulk on both ends, then depending on what the Pokemon does I max out an offensive or defensive stat. I also sent you a PM of things that I've tried out before so hopefully that helps.
 
If you're making a Trick Room team, I'd recommend Marowak over Luxray. It's an absolute beast in Trick Room, with a sky high Attack stat with its Thick Club, along with a decent movepool. And I'd recommend scrapping MBanette and Mr. Mime as TR setters. Dusclops, and Bronzong are much better setters (considering this looks like an RU team) and you could replace Auroros with MAbomasnow like shark said.

Also I wouldn't run Stockpile on Camerupt. It lacks good recovery and it'd be wasting TR turns. I'd recommend making a fully offensive set, with Eruption or Earth Power.

While I agree with you about Bronzong and Dusclops, I don't like following the masses, and that's how I usually build my teams. I wanted this to be a "Cool, I didn't know you could use those guys that way" kind of team. It's not supposed to win me the VGC's I want to use it for friendly competitive battles. I will agree that Auroras is a bad choice as it was a stretch when I was putting this team together. Seeing as I don't want an automatic weather effect (Abomasnows ability), what other Ice types can I use?

On that note using what I have what should I do to the EV's to best use this group (Auroras excluded)?

The only Ice type that I can think of that would fit your TR team would be Avalugg, and in that case I would suggest replacing it with Camerupt and bringing in another special wall.

I have a few Quiet Eevee's, would an Umbreon or Vaporeon be any good?
 
Yes, a Vaporeon would be good, as it would give you a water resist, a special wall (even though Umbreon technically performs better in this quality due to having higher special bulk), and a cleric all in one
 
What format is this? Doubles, Singles, Smogon, Nintendo? If it's Smogon Singles, then as JDawgz mentioned, you'll want to keep it in RU so Umbreon and Vaporeon wouldn't work

not really a format for it, just a team to use in friendly battles.

Vaporeon (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 56 HP / 200 SpA / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
- Wish
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Synchronoise

P.S. I like how NO ONE has suggested changes to the EV's which is the real reason I put this post up.
