Espeon or Alakazam? Which is the better special sweeper?

Question

So i am playing in Emerald & i need a special sweeper for my team & psychic pokemon cover most of my team's weaknesses. I was thinking that since Alakazam has a higher special Attack but i'm not sure if i should get Espeon instead. Can someone give me a comparison of the two psychic pokemon?

thanks

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you can get espeon on emerald

Isn't that FRLG?
in Emerald, there is a clock you can set in the beginning of the game

Answer 1

Go for Alakazam
It has better speed and sp.attack
Also, Espeon has very shallow movepool,
while alakazam can learn all 3punches(via breeding or move tutor)
and in gen 1-3, all 3punches were special attack

Ok thanks! i'll make an alakazam

In gen1-3, all punches were special attack, since they were determined by the type

Answer 2

I actually think Espeon is the most strongest. Pick Espeon. Because you know, Espeon can learn a lot of strong moves. Espeon is also a good special sweeper
