Most of the time they're just bigger and stronger, but that also probably means they're smarter too. So compared to any old common Gardevoir, an Alpha Gardevoir would be like a wild mystical seer.
I think it's kind of implied that the Guardians and Alphas are similar, with the Guardians being more "in control" and allied with humans compared to the untamed Alphas
