Alakazam 47% IV & Best Moveset Power up?

Just power it up since you're going to use it strictly as an attacker? I wouldn't wait around for a Zam with the dame moveset diff IVs since the chances of getting one are so slim.

Still a beast with that moveset whether it's 0% or 100%. Hopefully that 47% is skewed towards the stamina stat though.

Too low man. Use him without power up and evolve a better ivs one to reach a higher CP range. I tried three times untill i get my 86.7% with perfect moveset. Just be patient.

Don't power up attacking pokemon, 2K is already more than enough to take down gyms if you dodge, no need to power him up. IF for some reason you want to power him up, the decision is ultimately depending on how rare are Abra candies for you.

There's a lot of advice on these boards not to power up attacking mons, but I think it's worth powering up elite attackers to the maximum possible CP. we are talking elite attackers here (Dragonite, Snorlax, Vaporeon, Alakazam), and preferably with good IVs (I personally use 91%+ as a rule of thumb for power ups).

I think I would just leave this Zam as is, just because his IVs aren't great.

I would use the cp-calculator and simulate what you want to do in advance. You can simulate the difference to perfect IVs.

Surely, you alakazam will have ca.100 CP less than a high-iv-one on the same level, but if you don't have another one, you can use the one you have.

Personally i would do the following:
(1) test it! Use it in gym-battling to see if you like this extreme dodging-attacking-style.
(2) if you like your alakazam, raise it till level 30 and use it, until you get a better one.

It may take quite a lot of dust and abra-candy to get a high-iv-perfect-moveset alakazam. This is a long-term-project, maybe Gen2 will be released earlyer and you will not have it until espeon is there.

If you really like to battle with alakazam, i see no better way than to use the one you already have.
