Here is what each type of Eevee’s move tutor moves covers:
Fire–>Grass, Ice, Bug, + Steel
Water–>Fire, Ground, + Rock
Electric–>Water + Flying
Grass–>Water, Ground + Rock
Ice–>Grass, Ground, Flying, + Dragon
Psychic–>Fighting + Poison
Dark–>Psychic + Ghost
Fairy–>Fighting, Dragon, + Dark
Now, Fire and Ice both cover the most with 4 each. Water, Grass, and Fairy cover 3 each.So here is what they’ll cover:
Fire/Water/Ice/Fairy–>11Fire, Grass2, Ice, Fighting, Ground2, Flying, Bug, Rock, Dragon2, Dark, Steel
Fire/Grass/Ice/Fairy–>11Water, Grass2, Ice, Fighting, Ground2, Flying, Bug, Rock, Dragon2, Dark, Steel
In short,both movesetscover 11 types out of 18 in total.
If you choose Dark + Fire + Water + Fairy, you can cover 12 types in total:
Fire, Grass, Ice, FightingGround, Psychic, Bug, RockGhost, Dragon, Dark, Steel
I believe it is a better moveset without considering special effects.
I actually made a spreadsheet detailing each move’s type advantages and disadvantages, I also gave each type a color rating, indicating how common that type is in Kanto (except bug type, that one is based on the fact that bug type isn’t really found anywhere besides Viridian Forest, and you wont be able to get any special moves before that anyways) I also gave each move a rating based on how many types it’s good against, however take those ratings with a grain of salt, because those are really based on whereIam in the game right now.

Looking at individual Pokemon coverage (including Mega and Alolan forms but no meltan) rather than whole types then the moveset with the best coverage is:Fire/Water/Electric/Psychicat 1x Damage against 47 Pokemon and 2x damage or better against 137 Pokemon
If you include eevee’s other moves not just its new ones then:Fire/Electric/Fighting/Ground 33x1 151x2+Electric/Ice/Fighting/Ground 33x1 151x2+
Although none of those number take into account which Pokemon you would want coverage for and simply which covers the largest number of Pokemon
Personally I preferWater/Electric/Psychic/Dark 48x1 136x2+Because with Water/Electric/Psychic alone only Exeggcute/Exeggutor can resist it and I can swap out the last move depending on what I’m expecting to fight and still have great coverage. I tend to stick with Baddy bad for the reflect effectAdding Grass provides no extra coverageFairy does add coverage against dragons but there aren’t many and the only other Pokemon it helps against is Alolan Rattata/Raticate and Alolan Meowth/Persian, Ice is the better option beacuase it adds coverage to several bug and grass Pokemon most notably Exeggcute/Exeggutor
And certain moves are the only option for some Pokemon;Double kick against pure normalIron Tail against Clefairy/Clefable, JIgglypuff/WigglytuffFreezy Frost against ZapdosSizzly Slide against Caterpie, Metapod and PinsirDig against pure electric, Mega Charizard X, Alolan Grimer or Alolan Muk
Edit: Just noticed that Eevee can learn Dig. All of the moveset combinations excluded ground type attacks, I will recheck them with ground added at some point when I get a chance (probably) or if I’m asked.Edit 2: Updated 2nd and Last paragraphs to include Dig
Based on the effects given, I would sayBouncy Bubble, Buzzy Buzz/Sizzly Slide, Swirly Swirl, and Baddy Bad.Bouncy Bubble is basically the more powerful water type version of Giga Drain. It covers fire, rock, and ground. Any strong healing move like this is a move you would want to have. Buzzy Buzz and Sizzly Slide are both great moves with great effects. Buzzy Buzz covers water and flying, but ground is immune to it. Sizzly Sizzle covers grass, ice, bug, and steel. It’s really up to you which one you want. I would personally say Sizzly Slide because of the burn. Burn slowly reduces your opponents HP and it halves their attack stat. Sparkly Swirl is a great one to have if you’re in a tough spot status condition wise. It covers fighting, dragon, and dark. Eevee only has one weakness, that being fighting. The move I would have to say here is Baddy Bad. It covers psychic and ghost. Baddy Bad can reduce the damage received by fighting type Pokemon seeing as all fighting type moves in the game are physical. This combined with Sizzly Sizzle or Sparkly Swirl will give Eevee the upper hand against fighting types. If a fighting type does end up damaging you, just use Bouncy Bubble.
