These other answers are, I think, missing the main boon of Extreme Evoboost. Now let me preface this that this is a gimmick strategy that is shut down by Prankster Taunt, good leads or even something fast enough to KO Eevee, making it difficult to pull off. However, it is possible.

This strategy is for Doubles or VGC. You’ll want to lead with Eevee and a Pokémon with eitherredirectionorFake Out.The idea is to stall the enemy until your Eevee can get off an Evoboost and then Baton Pass it to something scary.

Redirection moves are those that force attacks to target a certain Pokémon. Follow Me, Rage Powder and Spotlight are all redirection moves. The reason you want these is to make sure that your opponent doesn’t KO Eevee before it can pass along its boosts. You’ll also want to make sure your redirector is bulky enough to survive attacks aimed at Eevee. Here are some option for redirection:

Finally, you’re gonna want to baton pass onto something that becomes extremely scary with +2 in every stat. Okay, pretty much anything becomes scary then, but here are some prime candidates:

The idea of the Extreme Evoboost strategy is to get off a Evoboost + Baton Pass, then proceed to bash in faces with your rampaging nanoboosted sweeper of choice. If you have any further questions, let me know!

Due to its low base stats, I don’t recommend using it for battling, I prefer baton pass
