Well, I was moreso questioning their RP application, Budew's in particular are fairly meta-gamey and would be difficult to explain in "realistic" terms how something could, say, have poison point when it has no points on it anywhere, or it can just randomly heal status just by being switched out thanks to natural cure. With Eevee, yeah those Abilities are pretty straight forward but when the OOC mentioned "usefulness" I wasn't quite sure what it meant by that, so I'll retract the question regarding Eevee.

As for the Budew's moves thing, doesn't the OOC say this?:

Choose 2 Pokemon at their basic form and no dream abilities; the exception to this is when their abilities are deemed not that useful within the role play. [b]One of the pokemon must be part of a three stage evolutionary line (e.g. Charmander -> Charmeleon -> Charizard) and will be allowed one move that can be learned through breeding/move tutor/TM at the start.[/b]

I assumed that, since Budew is my token 3-stage Pokemon he could be allowed to start with a TM/Egg/Tutor move such as Energy Ball, or Sludge Bomb since I was planning to switch it to that.
