Larvitar Help

I have hatched 2, caught roughly 8 with pinap berries and walked rest, finally have enough to evolve, here are the 2 options:
Level 27 iv 87% 12/14/13
Level 20 iv 91% 15/12/14

At first the obvious choice is 91% with Attack 15 but the investment in dust and candies is significant to max to my level it would take 47k more in dust and 42 candies but only different of cp is 31. Any thoughts would help.

Also I may just wait another few weeks try to get more candy and hatch +96%

I would definitely do the higher level one.

Ty, my thoughts also

Evolve the higher level...keep the other.

Good luck on your moveset.

lev 27 :D

You are unlikely to hatch one above 91%. Even 91% is great luck, I'd go with that one.

Seems like a no brainer to me, I would evolve the 91%er. For 47K stardust and 42 candies you get a strong mon in the long run. That difference to me is far less than the cost of evolving a second one.

31 CP is not worth 42 candies. The L27 Mon will be somewhat useful even if it gets a trash move set. CP number aside, attack is the least significant iv for t-tar's battle performance.
Do hang on to the 91%, as there is no guarantee that you will find a better one before you are ready to evolve again.

IVs are great, still has higher max CP than a perfect Dragonite and there'd be almost no difference between it and a perfect one in battles. If you mostly walk for your Larvitar candies, 31 more CP is not worth walking an extra 210 km in my opinion.

And since you've said you only have enough to evolve, if you evolve the 27 then it is immediately useable even if it gets an undesired moveset. Just dump it in gyms and it'll sit wherever 2780 CP gets you in your gyms. The 20 is going to be 700 CP behind and only becomes better in the case where you can power it up to your current max level, which is probably about 100 more candies than you have for someone level 32-34, maybe more.

So between now and until the time it takes for you to get 100+ candies / walk another 500+ km, the level 27 would have more CP and be more useful, earning you extra coins if it's sitting in gyms where the other one would be too low, or helping you win fights faster if attacking.

Thanks for the reply....this is exactly my thinking level 27 will evolve to 2780 vs 2078, my gym scene 3k puts you at the bottom normally so with roughly 30 candies and 30k dust would bring me to roughly 3150 lock me in safely in top 5 to hold off shavers.
