Raikou - Which one?

CP1900, 93%, 15/15/12(HAD), VoltSwitch/Thunderbolt
CP1900, 93%, 14/15/13, VoltSwitch/Thunderbolt
CP1896, 93%, 13/14/15, Thunder Shock/Wild Charge

I plan to power up one of each legendary. Which of the above Raikou? Go for one with the 15 Attack with the A- moveset, and if so, which one? Or power up the 14 Attack with the A moveset?

Currently have enough rare candy to power up one of each legendary to Level 30. Also, have 14 Fast TM's and 9 Charged TM's, so I "could" use TM's on the inferior moveset and try to get WC, but worry about getting stuck in one of those endless loops that end with Thunder.

first one. but youre gona end up getting something better by the end of the month and then regret it.

Raikou was last month. We've got Entei this month (I've caught a 98% 14/15/15)., and Suicune is next. So unless they pull another stunt where all three beasts are available simultaneously, like they did with the birds, I won't have a chance at a better one.

Also, the plan is to wait and power up after the end of the birds/beasts legendary raids.

It's almost tied between the first and second Raikou, I'd go with the first one because I like to stats maxed out

The one that already has the best moveset should not be dismissed too quickly.

... Thunder Shock with both 14 and 15 attack IV hits its last breakpoint against Suicune at level 31, so in that matchup at least you don't really gain anything. Unless you are flooded with charge TMs for some reason, I would go with the one already with the desired moveset.

Some day you may find yourself wanting 3 so congratulations. I personally think wild charge is worth trying for on the best raikou you end up with at the end of the month. If you have 1 or 2 others with wild charge along the way just a bonus.

Either of the first two, assuming your calculations are HP/A/D. Those of us who have used this site for a long time tend to put the stats in the order they are read by the appraiser, but it seems like all of the IV tools do A/D/HP. It drives me crazy!

Interestingly enough, I also have two 93% with the same stats as yours. Since CP is the same, it's a wash. I'd probably go with 15/15/12 just because you can never put him in a gym. Fortunately, I caught a 98% with 14/15/15, but if I decide to power up a second, I'm going to have the same decision. Both of my 93's have Thunder :(
