Evelynn has better ganks barring that Skarner is not allowed to ult. At least, if the Eve player knows how to use her passive, she'll have good ganks. If you argue that the range is too big for ganking, you have no idea how much time it can save while you wait for an opening to gank. Junglers know what I am talking about. Waiting in bushes and whatnot.

If you want to compare champs, let's compare Brand and Anivia. With any build, Anivia will probably outdps him and be tankier due to the Egg. Skarner has his W, which if broken kills him at his very core because he will not really autoattack much. Anivia's Egg disables her entirely, so it is a more dramatic version of Skarner's W. On the other hand, Brand could just annhialate Anivia and her team if he gets a single chance. Anivia is ruined by a mere Silence because it stops her ult and being so rediculously slow, she would be inable to run. Skarner has a huge tendency to run Lome, which should not be taken lightly.

I like parallels. Evelynn has her place because she can gank better, if you think Skarner permaslow means he is better, then remember that Evelynn buys Trinity Force, so she has slows as well. Before TriForce, she has Red Buff and better clear times in general and you run less risk when you play Eve because she isn't weak to counterjungling like Skarner is.
