I saw the same question asked for XY so that's why I said no Megas.

Answer 1

Ampharos

Pros

• Easy to obatin
• Not bad a Movepool
• Some bulk to take hits : 90/75/90
• Neat base 115 Special Base Stats

Cons

• Base 55 Speed isn't something to boast about.

Jolteon

Pros :

• Amazing Speed
• Base 110 Special Attack is nifty

Cons :

• Fragile
• Not an impressive Movepool
• Eevee is easy to obtain but a Thunderstone isn't. See here for locations

Its all up to you. If you want a Pokemon that can take a hit and then hit back like a truck and a wide variety of Moves without trashing all your money on TMs then Ampharos will probably be a better choice. If you want a Pokemon that outspeeds many Pokemon and lands heavy damage or an OHKO then Jolteon is probably bettter. Although you may need to breed or use TMs to reach Jolteon's full potent

+1 for PMD sprites :D

Answer 2

Jolteon's stats are better when combined, but both Pokemon have a small advantage over each other

Jolteon's stats combined total is 525, while Ampharos' stats combined total is 500. Personally, I prefer Jolteon because it looks cooler, but the desician is up to you.
