Snorlax power up
Hi. Just hatched my 3rd Snorlax. I need another high CP defender but i cant decide if any of these are worth power up. Have 78 candy..
LV20, 86.7IV Lick/EQ
LV20, 82,2IV Lick/HS
LV20, 75,6IV Lick/HB
Probably not worth it huh?

With 78 Candy you can spent 66 of those to power a Snorlax to lvl 30. That's a pretty nice cut-off point since you get 50% less for your investment afterwards. This leaves you with a 2750+ Snorlax and still 12 candy to spare. Depending on your area this should be a pretty decent defender in terms of placement. Not top 3, but hopefully not bottom 3 either.
The downside of not powering one up is that you could be waiting for months before hatching another Snorlax. Not only are they a rare hatch from 10k eggs, you also might end up with one that's not better IV or moves wise.
If you could use a good defender now, I'd power one up (CP wise it doesn't matter much, move wise Hyper Beam or Heavy Slame > Earthquake). If you want him as attacker I'd go for the Hyper Beam one. I have 1 powered up to 30 atm and it served me well to just wins fights vs tough opponents by brute forcing them down. That said, I've never attacked with Heavy Slame so I don't know how that move works in practice.
