Charizard Question
So I just evolved my 98iv Charizard and it got FS/O. Its at 2296CP, I'm tempted to power it up past LV 30. Im going to wait for the gym rework regardless but what do you guys think?

Congratulations to this great pokemon.
If somebody levels up a Charizard, he does so not because he needs it, but because he likes it. I think, i would like a nearly perfect, cool looking pkm with best moveset, and i would power it up too, independend on how gyms will work soon.
if short of dust, I would maybe wait with powering; not because of a maybe changing role for charizard, but because i would maybe need your dust for somebody else, like steelix, first.
I would because it is so awesome. I have a 100% Venusaur that I have maxed out @ 2477CP and always put him in gyms.
As for yours with FS/O I would be using it all the time as an attacker.
I have some mons I just power up because I like them. Maybe it is wasting dust but it is a game and you have to enjoy it too!
I actually have 2 100% Venusaurs lol. Only one maxed out so far - the one I mentioned has Razor Leaf/Sludge Bomb - best defensive moveset. Love putting him in gyms. The Sludge Bomb hits pretty hard vs fire as its not resisted and it comes really quick. It can be a real PITA!
My other 100% sits at 1600CP waiting to see what happens with the gym rework. It has Vine Whip and Solar Beam. Hoping he can be the beast he should be in the new gym rework. Just waiting to power him up!
In the current meta (which may significantly in a matter of days), Flareon has better base stats, so a FS/O Flareon is a better attacker than Charizard against almost anything except Grass and Bug. However, there is one thing I'd regularly use a FS/O Charizard for that it does better than Flareon -- prestiging DG Blisseys. For this purpose, it's important not to have too high a CP, so I certainly wouldn't max it out, especially with the gym rework coming.
