Should I use Espeon or Alakazam for an in-game playthrough of SS?
Aug. 22, 2020What are the pros and cons of both pokémon, and which is more reliable in a playthrough? (I have access to trading).

Pros- Brilliant Special Attack and Speed- Solid Special Defense- Coverage against Dark type weakness (Signal Beam)- Priority in the form of Quick Attack- Gets Shadow Ball
Cons- Mediocre HP and Defense- Learns good moves late- Friendship evolutions are a pain
Pros- Spectacular Special Attack and Speed- Solid Special Defense- Can cover Dark type weakness (Signal Beam/Focus Blast)- Can use Shadow Ball and Focus Blast
Cons- Can’t take physical hits well at all- Level up movepool is just Normal and Psychic moves
Either works well for an ingame playthrough. Hope I helped!
Abra is found earlier and at a higher level. Alakazam is easier to evolve, has slightly higher special attack, can learn focus blast, and learns calm mind and psychic earlier. It seems pretty obvious that Alakazam is better.sourcesourcesourcesource
