Moltres or Entei?

Sitting on a 100% Entei and a 14/15/13 Moltres this question keeps me awake at night.
I already have Flareon and Charizard fully maxed out as fire attackers, so both typings are covered, both have FS/O.
I like Moltres more, it looks better, its attack animation is more beautiful and it provides better DPS, but Entei with 100%.....
So I decided to start a poll and ask you:
Please tell me what you would do and maybe give a short explanation.

PS: I consider powering up both to 30 but am only willing to max out one of them over the next months - 500k dust is not that much with Mewtwo and gen3 around the corner as well as the update with additonal pushing option to lvl 39.5 ....

IMO Entei for now. 100% cannot ever be topped, while we've already seen evidence of Niantic bringing old raid bosses back (e.g. Articuno).

If you really like Moltres (which I do, I gave mine enough candy to max it), then you'll have the opportunity to max it eventually. I like it's flying dual-typing better to resist Grass. The current grass raid threats are weak to Psychic types though, and Entei with Flamethrower is better for gym sweeping due to the 2-bar and general bulk.

Stats aside, a max 100% is awesome. And don't by any means transfer the Moltres - You can always get more rare candy eventually, consider the Moltres a "WIP"

Thanks for your thoughts, no worries - I will never transfer my best Legendaries with 90+ IVs :)
Never thought of gym battle abilities, but as my Entei has Firefang/Flamethrower this could be indeed useful instead of a TM consuming nightmare

IMO, the benefit of Entei would be Fire Fang/Flamethrower for better dodging.

You're right, thanks for pointing out! My Entei in fact already has the FF/FT moveset.
I will play around with Entei in gyms and see how good it feels for dodging.

I would choose Moltres he is such a power house. He has enough Stamina to last in any fight and his attack stat is so high you can even throw him with your generalist group such as Dragonite and Tyranitar. Entei attack stat is lower than Flareons and is more of a fire tank than anything.

Yes, I love his attack stat. I have enough generalists but for raids and DPS-wise he would be incredibly valuable
