Yet another "Which do I level" question.
I have farmed roughly 20 Zapdos, and cannot break 93% to save my life. In fact, I have literally caught 4 93%s. To that end, I have no idea how to calculate which is better and am hoping to get a little advice. I know that the actual difference between them is going to be minuscule at best, but I'm also trying to get an idea of just how much of a difference 1 or 2 IVs can make. Won't bother posting movesets as it will end with T.bolt/ChageBeam regardless.
Zapdos 1: 14/14/14
Zapdos 2: 13/14/15
Zapdos 3: 13/14/15 (two with the same IVs in a row)
Zapdos 5: 15/(14 or 13)/(14 or 13).
Leaning toward the flat 14s or the one with 15 attack IVs. The more defensive duo aren't high priority in my mind. Note on the last that if Defense is 14, then Stamina is 13 and vice-versa.
Anyway; thanks in advance for the advice.

Assuming they are the same level, pump up the one with the highest CP.
I caught nine Zapdos. Two of them are 15/15/14. That's good enough for me. Honestly, the difference in CP between a 92% and a 100% is barely noticeable. Not sure why everyone waits forever to get an extra 200 CP if they actually took the time to power it up to max level.
Realistically people stop around 30 and possibly a little more. 85%+ is just fine.
But you also might as well wait until the event is over. Get an idea of how much rare candy you have and possibly get something with higher IV. if not, what you got is perfectly fine.
Zapdos already has 253 base attack. Let's see how much 14 or 13 attack IV comparing to 15?
For 14, it decreases by 0.3745%;
For 13, it decreases by 0.7519%;
For stamina IV, since its base stamina is 180,
For 14, it decreases by 0.5155%;
For 13, it decreases by 1.0363%;
I would prefer lower attack stat but with at least 14 defense and 15 stamina. Breakpoint for each raid boss might be different but i would prefer IV that makes all stat more equal or at least make stamina and defense equal.
P.S. Because of floor function, those less than 1% decrease may disappear.
