Finally lvl 30, what to power up?
Until I was lvl 26 I was kinda stupid, so I spend a lot of dust on things I don't really need, and another lot on good stuff like eggys, a venusaur, dnite and zard all with good sets. I have been saving dust since that time and I am now a lvl 30 with 500k dust. What should I power up now?
-Snorlax 1- 51%, L/BS, would require 44 candy to lvl30
-Snorlax 2- 73%, L/HB, 62 candy to lvl 30
- 3 Eggys with confusion, would take about 100k to max them out
- Scizor, 91% lvl 25, would require a tm for bug charge move
- Jolteon, lvl 25, 84% TS/Dis, or lvl 23 87% TSTB
-Alakazam, 96% lvl 20, C/SB, would use as def untill I find my 4 charge tm.
-Gengar, 71%, lvl 21, SC/Sludge Bomb.
-Lapras, 75%, FB/B, lvl 20
-Heracros, 78%, C/CC, lvl 23 - I live in Brazil, so many of you would tell me to wait for a better one, but they are not so common and I am in desperate need of a fighter.
What would you guys do? candies are only limited for snorlax and lapras.

Generally, don't max out. Take to level 30 instead. At least for the time being.
Snorlax is mostly a prize mon at this stage of the game. He'll likely become great again sometime in the future, but for now don't touch him.
Eggy is great right now. Taking a good Eggy with C/SoB to L30 is a good call.
Scizor would be nice against some legendaries and against Alakazam solo. He's already L25, so sounds like a plan taking him to L30.
Alakazam. Don't use as a defender. He's an attacker. Yeah, he could use a charge TM, or just catch one with Futuresight in a level 3 raid.
Gengar. Ehh...he requires both a charge TM, which could bomb, and quite a lot of dust. Maybe find one in a level 3 raid with Hex and Shadow Ball. Not quite as good as SC/SB, but legit.
Lapras. Great prize mon, but again not too relevant right now. When Dragonite starts showing up at level 4 raids, then he's tha shiznit.
Heracross. Sounds like a legit plan. Would love one myself, but I am in Europe. Strong fighters are in demand!
Jolteon. Deffo take the TS/TB to L30.
If I were you:
Pump the following:
Eggys x3
Scizor (Need bug charge move but only if you have bug quick move)
Alakazam (need a TM charge until you get Future Sight or worst case use 2 and have Psychic)
Heracross
The reason why is some of these monsters will help you in raiding/soloing Machamp (which you need), Alakazam (which you need 1 more of), Gengar, and then up the ladder to Tyranitar.
I would make sure I have Rhydon or a Golem maxed out (x2 if you can) and most importantly, add Bite/Crunch or Stone Edge Tyranitar. Good luck!
personaly i would wait until i have 1kk stardust, but you probably need some pokemon to use in raids, so take to lvl 30 the TS/TB Jolteon and the SoB Eggy. About heracross, be patient, u will come across a lvl 30 C/CC Heracross, a Machamp raid or a machop nest eventualy. Also you will find Gengar, Alakazam, Lapras and Snorlax in raids, and saving dust...boom
ps. Also BR
edit: Walk lvl 30 eeve for a espeon it has less 10 ATK but 20 plus on HP. Do this until you evolve a future sight one
