Yeah i find that it will be great for every other eeveelution, and I love Normal/something not Flying combos, I find them really interesting competitively and not.

Scrappy seems like a good choice for Tauros' ability. It's great competitively for its STAB and it doesn't go against flavour. I don't, however, see Tauros as a fighting type. I just can't see it. The ground type, on the other hand, works for me flavour wise and still offers you that mono-unresisted coverage. STAB Return and Earthquake would be formidable.
Speaking of flavor abilities... I'm interested in making one based on Vaporeon's capability to turn into water (which is a similar case to yours). In regards of its effect, it reduces the damage taken from physical moves by 30%. So, it's essentially an inferior Fur Coat. It works differently though in that in Rain conditions, the reduction level is halved.
I'll call it "Liquescent" for now. So what ya'll think?
I'm thinking "-ate" Abilities for Vaporeon and Jolteon because it would be good for both of them. Then just buff general stats and there you go.
For Tauros I'm thinking Super Luck or Serene Grace as a callback to RBY and all its hax. Boost Atk and Spe a lot because Tauros used to be nearly the fastest thing way back when. With Serene Grace Body Slam and Rock Slide/Iron Head, it could be an offensive paraflincher.
Also, is the OP ever going to be updated? I've already made Megas for the upcoming slates. I have too much spare time...

I know how you feel ._.
But seriously, if you give Tauros Serene Grace, please change the name because there is no way I can see it being graceful. Ever.
Right, so, after looking through the list of abilities and descriptions of each pokemon on our slate, here's a quick list of what I think would possible work/fit best for each one:
Tauros - Sheer Force, Reckless, Defiant, Mold Breaker, Moxie, Pressure, Rivalry, Vital Spirit
Ditto <- why
Vaporeon - Hydration, Water Absorb, Natural Cure, Serene Grace, Rain Dish, Regenerator
Jolteon - Quick Feet, Volt Absorb, Speed Boost, Competitive, Lightning Rod, Static
If anyone has any other suggestions, that'd be great

Your ditto suggestion was amazing. It deserves to win 10/10. (Now if only I could time travel to yesterday and suggest it myself...)
EDIT: Maybe mega ditto's ability could be an imposter clone and let it gain +2 in the opponent pokemon's highest stat (besides hp)
For Jolteon, I'm thinking about that one electric terrain ability. It fits jolteon just as well as electrode.
As for vaporeon, filter seems to be the best choice flavourwise; it works well competitively as well.
In Ditto's case, would it be possible to let an already impostered Ditto mega evolve? Ex. Ditto imposters a bulbasaur. So if Ditto mega evolved while impostered, it could have a 1.3X boost in every stat except for HP.

The only real question is how do we change the stats to actually use it. I guess the best way would be to shove everything into the defenses so it can actually maybe sometimes survive long enough. So, like 48/48/98/48/98/48.
In regard to Toxicroaker,
Comet Punch was something I did not consider.
I would have to say that Bruiser could only activate once for multi-hit moves or else I feel it would be too overpowering.
If you feel like there would actually be some balance hidden in there, however, I would consider overturning this rule patch. Otherwise, I feel Mega Hitmonchan would have no counter whatsoever.

Okay, sounds good to me. However, it would be hilarious to make comet punch overpowered lol.
Neither can Blissey the fatty or Dunsparce... whatever it is. idk
Electrode is the only one with the Electric Terrain ability, and I think most everyone would agree that it should stay that way.
Also, could you explain why Filter works well on Vaporeon flavorwise? I mean, it looks like this:
Not this:
Joking aside, I really don't see Filter on Vaporeon. There are a myriad of excellent abilities for Vaporeon that fit both flavorfully and competitively, and Filter just doesn't.
An interesting thing about the 1st three eevees is that their abilities are always related. Their main abilities grant immunity to their own typing, and their hidden abilities revolve around status (speed and attack boots for Jolteon and Flareon, removal of status in rain for vaporeon). As such, I'd think it be a neat thing flavorwise to keep this relation if they go Mega. Ergo, if Jolteon were to get Lightning Rod, then Vaporeon would get Storm Drain, and Flareon would get a fire equivalent.
I'd suggest Speed Boost/Moxie/Defense Boosting ability, but I'm not sure how the latter of those would be balanced. You could also turn them into weather setters (with Jolteon causing automatic Electric Terrain), but weather is a hot topic in its own right.
EDIT: Filter works on vaporeon on account of being water based (gills) as well as that whole melting thing he likes to do. He basically morphs himself to reduce damage.

Then I guess I got the wrong idea for "filter". My idea about filter was that Vaporeon "filters" the water and makes it clean. I think aquaslash phrased it better.Electrode is the only one with the Electric Terrain ability, and I think most everyone would agree that it should stay that way.

And why should Electrode be the only one with the electric terrain ability? It makes no sense to me, as hail was given to abomasnow and aurorus, sand to tyranitar and hippo, and sun to zard y and ninetales.
Comet Punch has awful power, is Normal type, and has like 85 acc
It certainly doesn't look like it has scales...
I'm thinking Regenerator for Vaporeon and maybe an Electric variant of Gale Wings for Jolteon?

How about Mega Ditto transformes into the perfect hard counter of whatever it switches in on? For example if you switch into a Mega Venusaur, it transforms into Gothitelle?
I'm joking i promise
Jolteon's already hella fast, but that ability would be nice to circumvent Azumarill/Crawdaunt's Aqua Jet.
Most priority users are hella fast, such as Whimsicott, Talonflame, etc.
Matter of fact Tflame's only 4 Base speed behind jolteon
