Is Jynx pretty useful pokemon?
Hi folks, just caught one 100% IV Jynx with CP600, is Jynx any useful in current or future meta?

Everytime I've used Jynx against Dragonite, she gets wrecked pretty bad...
Maybe it's because Dragonite just has a very high attack or Steel Wing, but I'd probably level it to 30 anyways if I had a 100% one. Could use on Lugia for a while longer...
Her typing is also not very useful only resisting psychic and ice with stronger Psychic types out there so she's purely used for Ice I'd guess.
I have an ice Jynx at L39. Fantastic and fun to use against Dragonite, but is a "luxury" mon. It's meant for gym speed-runners. In your case, I would not recommend powering it up if you are frugal on stardust.
It's the fastest at Dragonite take-down, better than Cloyster and Lapras an Articuno, slightly better than another Dragonite.
Jynx is one of the most common Pokemon you'll find anywhere in London, I've literally caught thousands of them. So inevitably I eventually found a very high IV / cp one. So I have one at cp2226, 97.8% IV and double ice moves. She's the fastest Pokemon I have at taking out Dragonite (and I have a Lapras with higher cp).
She can often take out a Dragonite before it can use any charge moves, which is great, because she feints super easily. So arguably the best thing against Dragonite in gyms, but I don't think she'll be useful in Dragonite raids, simply because she'll faint so fast.
Not at all worth powering up. I might keep it as a collectors item, maybe? I wouldn't even do that, honestly - as in, I don't even check the IV's of jynxes unless they're really high level, I just transfer them.
But Jynx is not good in any arena of gameplay. Although she has slightly higher attack than the other common ice attackers, this does not compensate for her being incredibly squishy. She dies really really fast in almost any battle.
The same role (ice attacker) is better filled by Lapras, Arcticuno, Cloyster or Piloswine.
