I've got a Cyndaquil dilemma...

Submit Feedback or Error

Hello forum,

So as far as Gen 2 starters go, I have multiple Feraligatr's and Meganium. (Thank you, Pinap Berries!) Cyndaquil, on the other hand, has been hard for me to come across. I'm sitting on 85 Cyndaquil candy. A couple of weeks ago, I hatched a 13A/11D/14HP 84% IV, 456 CP Cyndaquil. Yesterday, I was out and about playing the game and I managed to catch a 15A/15D/13HP 96%IV...86 CP!

So, I obviously want the best Typhlosion, but given how much harder Cyndaquil candy are to come by, and how low the CP is of the Cyndaquil I caught yesterday. It will take me a while to get it to a Typhlosion, let alone level it up. And I don't know if he's worth leveling up.

What would YOU do?

To be honest, Typhlosion isn’t really the best fire attacker to invest in IMO. You can get a Flareon that has much more useful moves with less time/candy spent. I would wait and see if they maybe give Typhlosion some better moves and then make your decision. If you play enough to have multiple Feraligatr and Meganium, then I am sure you aren’t hurting for attackers. If this is simply just to complete the dex and you want a trophy, just evolve the highest IV because you aren’t going to power it up anyway.

It won't take many resources to take the lower level one up to lvl20 to match the lower IV but higher level one.

I would be tempted to do the higher IV but lower level one.

I actually have a similar dilema but with a Maganium evolve - and I plan to do the lower level one with superior IV

I've evolved 4 Meganium and...they're all hanging out with the professor. I could not get double grass moves. I kept getting grass move + Earthquake. I got mad and transferred them. I got enough candy for 1 more evolution, but I'm going to wait for the best IV's I can possibly come across.

I had a decent IV lvl30 Cyndaquil I had high hopes for...but it turned out to be ShadowClaw/SolarBeam Typhlosion..

I have kept it as it may be a nice surprise if/when PvP comes out, for anyone who thinks their Vape will have an easy time of it.

I got two Typhlosion with SC/SB thanks to a recent nest of cyndaquil... and was intitially disappointed, until I prestiged against one in a gym.

Let's just say SB is devastating - and you don't see it coming! So I'm keeping them both (one male, one rare female).

Go for the higher cp one I know you should because where I live bulbasaur and squirtle never spwan granted I have a blastoise due to a nest but Bulbasaur I wasted candies on a low cp 82% bulbasaur along time ago now I have one way higher cp by about 200 but im short 27 candies and it drives me crazy knowing it is because I got to excided about ivysaur also the ivs are only a few percents less

Since Cyndys candys are so rare in your area, i suggest evolving the 84IV one, even though there are a lot of better fire mon i imagine you want a strong typhlosion at least.

Cyndaquil is your dilemma. He's terrible. Use Flareon.

Do you have an Arcanine? I've had luck with mine, and hatch plenty Growlithes from eggs. Also 86 candy doesn't sound too bad… I have 3? And I've only seen 2 (other than the one I've caught) on the nearby.
