    halo. anyone can give me some comments regrading which is a better battler? erm preferbly special sweep but others wil do too. thx =)
     
    I like Espeon best as it is so cute but obiously you are certain you will get Espeon due to they have to like you very much
     
    I highly prefer Gardevoir. Don't get me wrong Espeon is allright as far as pokemon go but I just think Gardevoir is the better pokemon.
     
    I love both of them but its hard not to tell which one I prefer. Gardevoir is prettyful, and Espeon is an Eon. Both have the same weakness and advantages. Gardevoir learns better moves and can learn more then Espeon. Espeon can mainly use Psychic type attacks, while Gardevoir can use Electric, Psychic, and other types. Go with Gardevoir.
     
    ok thx a lot man..i will go with garde... may i know how to use its Evs? i mean in which stats...
     
    I have 252 Sp. Attack, 252 Speed, and 6 HP. If you want a Moveset try- Psychic, Calm Mind, Thunderbolt, and Ice Punch/Destiny Bond.
     
    Go with Gardevior. I has a much better movepool.

    Gardy@Lefties
    EV:252 Sp. attack, 252 Speed, 6 HP
    Psychic
    Calm Mind
    T-bolt
    Ice Punch/Will-O-Wisp

    Here's somthing for Espeon too.

    Espeon@Lefties
    EVs:252 HP, 129 Sp. def, 129 def
    Nature:
    Morning Sun
    Psychic
    Wish
    Baton Pass/Calm Mind

    Wish passing Espeon. Hope this helps.
    :D
     
    I find Espeon cuter (*waits for all the Gardy club fanatics to pounce*), but Gardy has the better movepool, with access to Bolt, Magical Leaf, and Ice Punch. Use Mullet's set for Gardy (though add ML as a third choice for the Ice P/WoW slot, since it helps with the bog mutant), but for Espeon, I like to capitalize on its high Special Attack with at least two moves:

    Espeon@Lum Berry
    Modest, 252SpAtk/128HP/128Spd
    - Synchronize
    Psychic
    Bite/HP:Special
    Morning Sun
    Calm Mind

    Wishpassing is fine, but Morning Sun+Wish is pretty much the same as OL. One or the other to free a slot.
     
    ok thx a lot... i think i will have gardeviour... and max out its speed and specia attk
     
    both are ok . Personally i like zam but if i had to choose one id choose Espeon it has better stats with a meh movepool. Gardys stats are ok but it makes that up ith a good movepool.
     
    i don't really use either since both are rather fragile. in most cases they get OHKO. they're very OU and quite frankly i don't really like them. if i'm using an OU psychic type i'd have to go with zam as well, even though i rarely have a psychic type cuz i prefer pokemon who can take a couple hits.

    They both have nice SpDef stats

    Espeon can't sweep due to its move pool

    Gardevoir can't sweep since its too slow

    trickzam can though due to its nice move pool, nice speed, and nice SpAtk stat which bests that of Espeon and Gardevoir.

    Alakazam@ Choice Band
    ~Trick
    ~Calm Mind
    ~Psychic
    ~Fire Punch/Ice Punch/HP: Grass/ Thunder Punch/HP: Water

    The last move is your choice, just get something that covers our team well. I use HP: Water so I can take out the first and second most OU dark types.
     
    Gardy has the much better movepool... but its stats are a little too balanced for my likes... i mean heres espy with a 130 base SPA, and a 110 base speed... and theres gardy with its 115 base SPA(i think...), and 80 sumthin base speed...

    and if its for netbattle, you have hiddenpower at your disposal, so espy all the way.
     
    Plus, Espeon has a kick-*** shiny. ^_^ (Getting a good HP:Special isn't all that hard IG; you do end up taking what you get, but it can work. *nudges HP:Dragon Espeon*)

    yes but they're still fragile. just about any normal attack on your normal poke = OHKO. SpDef means nothing when you don't have the physical def and Hp to back it up cuz then the opponent just uses a physical attack and that pretty much takes care of them.
     
    Espyjump by Jumpman16>gardevoir. But if you aren't experienced enough to use it, just stick with the bolt, WoW, psychic, CM gardy.
     
    if you aren't experienced enough to use espyjump just use celebi

    ~calm Mind
    ~Baton Pass
    ~recover
    ~Psychic/Giga Drain/HP: Grass/Leech Seed/Heal Bell/what the hell/HP: Ice

    HP: Ice only if you are going with 300 or more spd
