Is Gardevoir or Alakazam better in Pokemon Emerald?

Answer 1

Gardevoir or AlakazamThey are both the best Pokemon and are all the same if you are a true Pokemon trainer.

The contention can be made that Alakazam is superior, but only based on the fact it has incredibly high speed, and Special Attack power. This combination makes Alakazam able to (Provided Same-Type attack bonus or weakness to used attack) often one-shot opponent's Pokemon.

While Gardevoir has higher Hit Points, and better defenses, Physical attacks can still easily defeat it, and it's Speed is very low in comparison to Alakazam, and it's Special Attack power is also slightly lower.

Alakazam is commonly the preferred choice for tournaments, where speed and punch tend to win out over a stat such as Special Defense.

However, if you're playing Gen4 (D&P), Gallade, the other Evolution of Kirlia, is a potent choice, due to his significantly high Attack stat (unusual for a Psychic type), and his dual type with Fighting (A type that is strong against many types). He also learns Psycho Cut, and can learn Close Combat, one of the most potent fighting-type moves. Also, his type matching eliminates Psychic, Dark, and Bug from being super effective, leaving only Ghost (A rare type) and Flying as his weaknesses. Even with this, There are no types that are 4x effective.

In summation: Alakazam is arguably better, but if you're looking for a breath of fresh air (Since Alakazam has been around forever), you won't regret selecting Gardevoir.
