Question

I want to put in a good Psychic type for my team. Gardevoir served me well in Emerald, and I've never actually used an Espeon, but it seems to have great stats. So I'm asking which is the better psychic to have.
Oh, and I am an EXTREMELY offense based trainer, so please keep that in mind.

Answer 1

Espeon. If you can get it with its Dream World Ability Magic Bounce, all Status moves ie Poison will be bounced back, as well as things such as Stealth Rocks. It is an amazing Pokemon.

Here is a set :D

Espeon (F) @ Light Clay
Timid Nature
EVs 252 HP 252 Speed 4 Def

Reflect
Light Screen
Psyshock
Baton Pass

(You may be wondering about baton pass, but it lets you switch without potentially being OHKO'd by common pursuit users such as Tyranitar. Since hard switching has +7 Priority, you can see what the opponent goes into, and then switch in the appropriate check/counter.)
