Snorlax luxury problem

Once I asked about powering up a Snorlax, so the answer was yes, but I had to gather candy before. Yesterday, my friend caught another good Snorlax for me and today I was able to breed my first one. Took me fucking 1000km, 33 levels and 400 eggs lol.
Anyway, now I am sitting on 3 decent, but not great Snorlax and dont know, which one to power up with my now 70 candy...

76% 12-11-11, Lvl 20, Max Cp 2998 69% 14-12-5, Lvl 12, Max Cp 3007 84% 9-14-15, Lvl 16, Max CP 2993
Moveset of ALL THREE is Zen-Body

The CP differential is neglectable, but I wonder if there are differences in performances.
I know, that HP doenst matter as much as Atk and Def for Snorlax, but that doesnt make things easier haha.

Seriously, I cant decide, SOS.

EDIT: Alright, powered up my hatched one to Lvl 30.5, so it reached 2,8+. Thx for all your help :)

I would probably go with the hatched one tbh. Good all round ivs and best movset. The 84% needs 8 power ups to match your level 20 one and while it has higher ivs it's attack iv isn't that great.

True, but the question is, if the plus in durability (=time in the battle) makes up for the slightly lower damage per second. Is it even lower, or is the rounding formula is just gonna eat it up anyway?^^

3 Zen/Body. Nice! I have 5 defense level Snorlax - 4 level 30 (2800+), and one I'm raising that is at 2000 so far. I would power up #1 to a level you like (30 maybe), then start to work on #3, then #2. That way you have one already in use, and if you hatch or catch a better one along the way, you can switch. These are all nice though!

The hatched one for sure. The difference in max CP between these three that the best to power up would be the one that costs you the lowest amount of candies.

The difference in combat between these three is basically nonexistant.

Watch the video below, it's a comparison of 2 Snorlaxes with L/BS and an even bigger IV discrepancy than your 3, and the only difference was that Body Slam did a few more points of damage (probably like 2 or 3 damage per Body Slam)

i would also go with the hatched one due to the fact that they are all so similar in IVs and you should be able get that one to level 30 now.

Wow 3 body slam snorlax, god i hate you. But yea echoing the others i would take the hatched one. And if trade comes out you can give me the other 2. I'll send you all the jynxs and electabuzzes you could possibly desire :P.

You should see my friend then! He has 2 3k 90+ Zen-Body Snorlax. :O
Haha, wow, how can I deny this superattractive offer? :P
Cant wait to use my 500 Jynx Candy to power up all your trade ware. :)

I would start powering up #1, then 2, then 3.

The logic here is that 1 is the highest level and will give you a top-tier defender more quickly. Then between 2 and 3 the difference is negligible vis-a-vis level 12 and level 16, so I would just go with the higher max CP pokemon in that scenario.

Congrats on your three optimal moveset Snorlax.
