Worth power up Golduck?

Submit Feedback or Error

Hi Guys, I just evolved a 98% IV psyduck, and got a golduck with confusion + ice beam.

It was hatched, so lvl 20. Does it worth the sturdust investment?

I will get the candy eventually.

Thanks!

Not really. It's like a worse Slowbro.

The actual pokemon is more important than IVs, because IVs simply add to base stats, but don't make a large enough percentage of the total stat compared to the base for a bad pokemon with good IVs to exceed a good pokemon with bad IVs.

Like for example a 100% Dewgong is still going to be worse than a 0% Lapras with the same moveset, because 15 extra attack and stamina still doesn't exceed Laprases base stats, and the 17 extra defence stat doesn't make up for the difference in 65 stamina which is about 45 HP around levels 20-30.

I'd say keep it but not power it up unless you got like 3 million stardust and nothing else to do with it lol. Like mentioned before Slowbro is a better golduck. For defense Poliwrath is better than both.

I have a 95% Golduck with the same move set. Since it was my first pokemon with an ice attack, I powered it up to 1500 pureley as a Dragonite attacker. If you have another ice attacker, it still makes a decent defender, but the previous posters are correct, there are better pokemon overall.
