Any use for these two mons?

I evolved a 98% Zen-FS Espeon. It seems like Alakazam with PC would be the better attacker, also I wonder if it is actually useful on D?
The other candidate is a 98% Zen-P Eggy, which has once been one of my favorite mons. I didnt fully power him up, only till like 23, right before the Gen2 Update. Is it still a useful defender now or will Confusion with anything be just better?

I prefer fast Quick Attacks for dodging, so IMO on ofense ZH > Confusion.

Your Espeon with FS will be a better Psychic attacker than ur Eggy cuz:
- have higher base attack;
- FS do more damage than Psychic;
- Eggy have more weaknesses so Espeon is more useful than a pure Psychic Exeggutor.

I would max out your Espeon for ofense, not for defense. If you want a defender i would go with Exeggutor cuz of his HP and Psychic is harder to dodge than FS but tbh i wouldnt power any of them for defense, just Espeon for attacking.

I agree with his assessment, Exeggutor is mainly useful for his grass moves, but you don't have any. Espeon is the superior Psychic user here.

This Espeon is a great attackers, Confusion and ZH do almost the same DPS and EPS, when it comes to Espeon, the main question is "does it have FS?" And yours have. Your Eggy is suboptimal.

Honestly, your two are both very close on offense and defense. Exegg is tankier but Espeon will have higher damage, so they will both end up doing almost the same amount of damage before a KO.

Basically what Mustang said, I think I would give Espeon the edge because his moveset is only slightly worse than his best offensive moveset of confusion - FS (and possibly better if you prioritize more responsive dodges over slightly higher total dps). Exegg's moveset is just pretty dull now, and you would probably regret putting the dust and candy into him just to get a similar one with a much better moveset later like Extrasensory - Solar Beam.

I wouldn't put either into a gym to defend.
