How many of yall would power up an A/A ranked legacy moveset if the IVs were under 90%
I've got this 84% confusion/Solarbeam Exeggutor that I don't know what to do with.
Is anyone else in a similar predicament? What have others done with Omastars and Gengars?
Am I realistically even losing out on a substantial chunk of CP? I know everyone is saying IVs don't matter but I don't buy that.

High IV Dratinis are a bit of a problem for me, as most dratinis here are either low CP or low IV for some reason.
Recently I managed to catch a 93% IV Dratini at level 30 (someone posted it on our local PoGo Facebook group) but I still don't have enough candies to evolve him.
Most of my Dragonites are sub-80 IV, but they are still great, I've been using them for a long time.
I have a 93% Jolteon with TS/T, and I was wanting a Jolteon with TS/TB. To make a story short, I caught two Eevee's out in the wild at 78 and 80 pct, and I evolved both into TS/TB. TB is so much better than T, that I have powered them up equal to the 93%. All now at level 37, I would use the 78 + 80 way before I would use the 93, simply because of the move set. Obviously, this happened weeks before the TM's came out. If your 84% has 15 attack, I'd really consider powering it up.
I would base the decision on how likely I am to get a better mon over a reasonable time in the future. I'm basically not seeing Omanyte/Omastar right now, so what I've got is probably best I'll get. Eggy is still coming up, so I'm not powering anything up unless it rocks the IVs. Well, that and stardust. Got lotsa dust? Power more up. No dust, be more selective.
