The Legendary Birds...

I'm a lvl 35 player with a good group of regular mons. After 40 raids now I sit on 160 rare candy. Enough to take two mons from 20 to 31,5, where I usually stop powering apart from some icons. I caught 5 Articuno, 2 Lugia and 1 Moltres so far.

My attackers comparing to those birds are Lapras and Cloyster, then four Flareon and then two Alakazam and Exeggutor each plus an Espeon and Slowbro all powered up to 31,5 with good IVs and perfect moves. Looking further I have a Jolteon and a Magneton covering my electrics.

What would you recommend doing for the moment if you take into account the beasts and Ho-oh? I don't think Mewtwo is close to being released. My best Articuno has 84%, Lugia 87% and Moltres 96%.

Thanks in advance!

I'm tempted to go with Lugia for the moment. I simply love her and even though people say she's not worth it I think her low attack stat is made up a little by her high-dps moves (everyone uses Vaporeon who has an attack stat of 205 vs 193 for Lugia and ES is far better than WG. Snorlax has 190 and is used by many as a tank). Lugia also adds a new dimension to my psychic lineup, which are all glass cannons in soloing Machamp.

After that I'm thinking about Zapdos. He's a little better than Jolteon in every aspect but his quick move. He's also equal to Raikou from comparing the stats, but Raikou has better moves. Still we don't know when the beasts will be released and electrics are pretty much irrelevant in the current meta.

Further thinking I would go with Entei from the dogs since he's a clear upgrade to Flareon and much better than Moltres in my book. Ho-oh will be a no brainer even though his moves are a bit shaky, but having a 4k mon is just to tempting and SW/Brave Bird will be sick as a generalist.

Electric are irrelevant? What are you smoking.
Gyarados is in almost every gym. And also Vaporeon. If you want to take care of Gyarados followed by Vape without switching mons, Electric is the only type you want.
And also. Isn't Ho oh Flying type?

I'd probably wait. You probably don't need them right now anyway unless you really like using them, then go wild and power them up. Personally, I won't power up any of the birds or probably any Legendaries in general. They would replace most of my attacking team and I'm kinda attached to them. They've been with me since I started and is the reason I can readily tackle Tier 3 raids solo with ease. To me, they're nothing more than a collection. A Pokédex entry. A trophy.
