Which Steelix?

Submit Feedback or Error

So I have two Steelix and 47 candies(36k dust) and I am wondering what one I should power up or if I should just wait to evolve another for another chance a IT/HS. I'm lvl 29.

1.[56%ivs(7/13/5)1787cp(IT/CR)

2.[78%ivs(15/13/7)1497(DT/CR)

And I would be powering them up later not super soon

By the way I am looking for a good tanky defender for when my blissey is busy because I like to keep my Snorlax ready to attack due to his verstility(sorry for bad spelling)

Since you are lel 29, you should have already found that focusing on the mons that CP greater than 3000 is better choice unless you have enough stardusts. You can evolve any mon you like but when it turns to power up the mos, be careful.

I acctually have no pokemon that can even get to 2900 my highest i could get would be my snorlax and rhydon and maybe gyarados if i had the candies at 2800ish but rhydon is a garbage defender due to his 2x weakness gyarados is a little better tho

A level 30 Vape can get through about 2 1/2 lv 30 Rhydons by dodging specials. Guess what? According to the same parameters for Steelix with IT/HS he does even better.

All defenders except the big 7 and Lapras due to decent stats suck on defense. They just do. They are all debatable except Blissey and Snorlax but every gen released = better counters for them too. This myth that only CP is what puts them on defense is a complete fallacy.

I dont trust that site I have used it before and it said that only dodging charge moves with realistic dodging a dragonite would beat a lapras with flying colors and it also said that a dewgong with dodging all move perfectly would die againt a dragonite defender in about 30 seconds so that site is garbage

It's the same settings on two Pokémon only changed by name. It's just math. Don't trust it if you want.

My point once again (every day this happens) there needs to be a bigger change than just CP to gyms for any change to be decent long term.

Oh and I'm not sure how you entered the Dewgong sim wrong but I got that oDewgong going through 1 and 1/2 DT/O Dragonites with special dodging perfectly.

It happens. There are a ton of parameters and it is complicated.

Start walking your gyradose and save stardust. I wish I saved stardust more before I was a high enough level to become gym relevant.

If you adore the CP of less than 3000 mons, you will be busy on dodging in gym. I have a 97.8IV DB/HP kingdra and a 100%IV VS/TB Jolteon and I am lel 32. In gym against CP greater than 2800 mons, the above two are useless unless I have perfect dodge moves.

Yes but you have to consider that those to pokemon are nowhere near as bulky as steelix so low cp does not mean bad stats or prestiging gyms would be impossible
