Who is smarter?

computer > Human Brain. And even if you don't agree woth this, Metagross is a combination of those two (with pokémons having souls and all), so he definitely wins.

But no, regarding just those two, I would say Alakazam, just because we don't know Metagross' IQ. In this situation, 4 things aren't necessarily better than one. All four of Metagross' brains would know the same things and would be as intelligent as one another. With an IQ of 5000, Alakazam pwns Metagross if its IQ isn't at least 5001. It would be pointless for Metagross to have more than one brain if its IQ isn't on par with Alakazam's.

I still agree with my theory. It seems very plausible.
 
I say Metagross, because with four brains, it can contain all the knowledge without going crazy.
 
OK there's something seriosly wrong here how can a metagross not be considered smarter????????? it's 1st evo has the most diverse and varied movepool ever and ghosts are slaughtered by this floating-one-eyed-metal-brick-thing
 
Alakazam. Quality > Quantity
Alakazam's one brain outperforms Metagross's four
 
Man, everyone seems to side with Alakazam. But I choose Metagross, four brains are better than one.
 
Metagross, full stop. Wise old men are a tiresome stereotype, and I always disliked Alakazam anyway.
 
Metagross, as the fastest supercomputer can "is theoretically able to do more than 1 quadrillion calculations per second (one petaflop) at peak speed."
 
Alakazam. Quality > Quantity
Alakazam's one brain outperforms Metagross's four

Alakazams are inherently crazy. Metagross can process the same amount of information (if not more) at half the speed (if not faster) with no damage whatsoever to its sanity.
 
Alakazam! I will always remain loyal to the Gen I/II Pokemon when opposed to another generation, even though Hoenn is one of my favourite regions.
