Dragonite Advice Needed
OK, OK, this question isn't unique, but what would you all do? Let me set the scene:
I've got a L10 44%IV Dragonite with legacy DB/DC, a L20 91% Dratini, and 125 candies.
I enjoy the dodge-all strategy, and would love to have an attacking Claw 'nite, but since you can't get them anymore, this subpar example is my last hope for that experience.
However, I know the numbers are terrible and it will take a ton of stardust. Conversely, I've got some good Dratinis to work with, but I'm afraid of getting a Steel Wing Dragonite I won't want to fight with (especially one with HB).
Would you go with the known quantity or roll the dice? I've got two other 3K+ Dragonites, so candy isn't exactly rare, but it does take time, and I don't want to waste it.

My 2 cents is to go ahead and evolve the DB/DC Dragonite, because 1. That's an amazing legacy moveset, 2. You already have other Dragonites that you can presumably use for defense if needed, and 3. Don't forget you'd still need more candy to raise your lvl. 20 mon to lvl. 30 even after evolving it.
I've been holding on to it for a long time, hoping to get a better version with DC. But now that it's legacy, I decided to pull the trigger. I don't plan to defend with it, so CP isn't all that important. It's still a high-level Dragonite with DC, which is what I've wanted all along for attacking.
I'll push it to just over 3K CP (for psychological satisfaction) and then start grinding for the next evolution!
