Alright. In my opinion, this is a REALLY good battle. Two great Pokémon with high special stats, of which each's principal types aren't either very effective or not very effective and two Pokémon that can Mega Evolve. Maybe it's the first that'll make users really think of it.

For my opinion, I'll divide it in two: Alakazam vs. Pidgeot and Mega Alakazam vs. Mega Pidgeot. Let's see where we get from here.

Alakazam vs. Pidgeot: Pidgeot's highest stat is not Sp. Attack, but Speed. In fact, Pidgeot has a better Attack stat than Sp. Attack. Alakazam even outspeeds Pidgeot for a lot. In exchange, Alakazam's physical stats are really low. While Pidgeot's Sp. Defense is not really good, is not really bad either. Alakazam's moveset is comprised of many Special- and Other-type moves, Pidgeot's comprised of everything, with moves like Roost, Agility and Mirror Move.

Mega Alakazam vs. Mega Pidgeot: Things are getting interesting. Both Alakazam and Mega Alakazam have really low HP, that, combined with a really low Defense, can make the final decision. The problem is Pidgeot didn't gain anything in Attack when Mega Evolving, gained in everything but Attack. Mega Pidgeot is still slower than Mega Alakazam. Let's make a comparison: Mega Pidgeot has Alakazam's Sp. Attack of 135. Also, Mega Pidgeot's ability makes matters worse, it is No Guard, a move that guarantees any move hitting it, but also guarantees any move it does to hit. Mega Alakazam's ability would be useless, since it is Trace, and, with Trace, it copies No Guard.

I'm between the line, I can't choose, and that's awesome.
