Snorlax Dilemma
I've just caught another Snorlax (already 5). It is CP 2138 but A7 D7 S6 and came with perfect moveset for def (ZH/BS).
Now I have this Snorlax team:
Lvl 30 - CP 2801 - IV 75,6% - Moveset ZH/HB
Lvl 30 - CP 2799 - IV 77,8% - Moveset L/BS
Lvl 15 - CP 1417 - IV 93,3% - Moveset ZH/EQ
Lvl 4 - CP 344 - IV 75,6% - Moveset ZH/BS
And the previous one:
Lvl 24 - CP 2138 - IV 44,4% - Moveset ZH/BS.
Now I have 8 candies and I'm walking with Snorly.
Which ones should I power up? Should I power up those lvl 30 until 31,5 or farm candies and power up the rest? That lvl 4 is too low but I keep it for a future trade.
PS: I'm lvl 30 and have 300k Stardust
PS2: Still 0 Lapras :(
Thanks in advance!

This is what I would personally do as well. Focus on the ones that give you max CP, especially if they have ZH. At the end of the day, those will have better gym placements as defenders.
But I would accumulate candies until you have enough to get it to Level 30 (or to some target CP that gives you gym staying power in your area). In the meantime, you may find or hatch an even better one.
It is not such a difference if you are going to power it up only to level 30. 70 % Snorlax will have same CP at level 32, which will cost you only about 20 candy and 20 000 dust to power from level 30.
Compared to powering up 93 % Snorlax from lvl 15 to lvl 30 will cost you about 100 000 dust and 100 candy.
But save it for later game, sooner or later only high IV, high level Dragonites could stay in gyms. Even now Lapras have not enough CP to get decent spot in some gyms.
I would train the Snorlax with the highest IV's for the best gym placement. It has zen headbutt wich is the best quickmove for defense and earthquake is def not a bad move. Its hard to dodge AND is super effective against Rhydon (which according to goPress is a soft counter to Rhydon, so annyone relying on that info might get caught off guard by your snorlax)
