Hi every body.

Which one should power up as attacker
1st one is Vileplume cp.1594
IV.82.2% with Razor leaf and Solar Beam
2nd is Jolteon cp1498
IV. 84.4% with Thunder shock and Thunder Bolt.
PS. I already have Venusaur CP.1839 with Vine whip + Petal Blizzard (IV 88%)

I think the Venusaur alone is enough, but if you must choose one then go with the Jolteon.
Venusaur is pretty much unilaterally better than Vileplume in this case. Jolteon however may do better than Venusaur against a few specific defenders (Gyarados, Slowbro/Golduck/Starmie with Psychic moves).
Now, if you find you're going up against gyms with 6+ Water defenders (like all Vaporeons) then the Vileplume is probably better than the Jolteon... In that case you probably want both though.
I would only power up a Jolteon with Thunder. I have a 100% one that does really well against Gyarados and any other water pokemon that resists grass attacks (or with moves that are super effective against grass or poison). But to kill pure water pokemon, Venusaur, Vileplume and Victreebel are better choices.
