Now if I evolve them to gloom and then to vileplum and they have optimal move set which was better to evolve. The higher IV or higher CP..?
I would waste more stardust and candy on Lower Iv correct?
Also 90+ IV Pokemon all really good ones to keep and powerup with good move set correct? Or should I only be messing with 95%+? (I read somewhere that from 0IV -100iv there is only like a 12hp differece)

For Oddish go with the higher CP because 2% IV will not make any noticeable difference at all.
90% and above IV is great. I would even settle for as low 75-80% depending on the situation. But overall IV is insignificant compared to moveset. A 0% IV pokemon with good moveset will destroy 100% IV pokemon with bad moveset.
Thanks for the reply..
Would you say the same thing applies for my ryhorns? 6% IV won't make that much difference.
So evolve the higher CP..?
1rhyhorn CP 122 IV 97%,
2rhyhorn CP 667 IV 91%
I guess I'm just curious at what point does the difference in IV justify evolve/powering up a lower CP?
If Pokemon
A is 80% IV and CP 1000
B is 97% IV and CP 800.
Are we still going with Pokemon A or is that gap too big..
Is good rule of thumb if you have 2 of the same Pokemon and they both have higher than 80% IV always go with the higher CP?
Thanks for your help in clarifying this for me
There is no good 'rule of thumb' for these decisions. Every decision has to be considered, weighed, and decided upon. And no one can do that better than you.
IN GENERAL, I'd say that a few percentage points difference in IV's isn't close to worth all the added cost to power up a low level unit. But ultimately, that's up to your play style, and what's common in your area.
I have a spreadsheet of Stardust and Candy cost for each level of power up. I may get a 100% IV pokemon, but if it's a low level, I add up what it will cost to get it up to max level. Often times it's >60,000 Stardust and >60 Candy. Considering how hard to get Stardust is, I'd much rather start with a lower IV, but higher level pokemon.
In conclusion, here's how I usually approach it: I transfer nearly any pokemon that isn't at least 80% IV or better (unless it's super rare, then I'll tolerate lower). When I have enough to evolve, I evolve my highest CP pokemon (unless I truly have one that's closer to perfect IVs and only a couple levels lower). If I don't get the move set I wanted, I transfer it, and start saving up again to evolve the next highest CP one I have. I keep doing this until I get the move set I'm want (or at least I'm okay with). Then I power it up to max. This way you'll eventually always end up with high IV pokemon, that have the move sets you want, while keeping Stardust expenditure to a minimum.
Thanks so much for taking time out of your day and helping me answer this question..
Most the Pokemon im debating with are 90+.. Now I won't fret whether to evolve my 91% IV cp 1000 Pokemon or my 97% IV cp 400 Pokemon.. I'll just evolve the higher cp.. As you do.
Is the spreadsheet you mentioned for stardust something you made or is it on a site I can check out.?
I made it, but I'm sure you can find one somewhere too.It just looks something like this:
Star Dust Cost Level Candy
200 1 1
200 1.5 1
200 2 1
200 2.5 1
400 3 1
400 3.5 1
400 4 1
400 4.5 1
600 5 1
600 5.5 1
600 6 1
600 6.5 1
800 7 1
800 7.5 1
800 8 1
800 8.5 1
1000 9 1
1000 9.5 1
1000 10 1
1000 10.5 1
1300 11 2
1300 11.5 2
1300 12 2
...
The tab indenting didn't stay, but you get the idea. If I want to know the stardust cost to get a level 20 Pokemon to level 29.5, I just do a basic excel sheet SUM of those cells.
