Power up questions
A lot of people are asking questions like "Should I power up this or that?"
Please note, different people have different environment and thus have different answers. For example, in downtown San Francisco, no gym can stand more than 5 minutes. So nothing makes a difference. However, close to SFO airport, all gyms are level 10 and the minimum CP is 3000. In this case, you'd better to get a dragnite with 3000+ CP regardless its moveset.
Back in Seattle, I live in a place that we have regular players (familiar names) fighting for 9 gyms. I need quick attackers to take down gyms and tough defenders to delay the others taking down my gym. I have about 30-40 minutes to take 6-8 gyms before I start losing my gyms. I must power up my high attack Pokemons. Position is also very important since people often avoid attacking level 8 gym or above. I power up my dragnite (15/14/14 IV) to the max although it has the worst possible move set but it can stand high on the gym, which gives me the best value.

I apologize to be rude, didn't mean to be.
I just felt disapponted after reading 3-4 posts that have nothing to do with the actual game.
Just want to speak out the feeling that last 4 posts (including yours GS1) are in the wrong website.
I love writing stories, illustrations, etc, I like being creative myself...but I think this website is a quality technical website about pokemon go.
No worries. It is 4:43am where I am and the freaks come out at night. But a little break from the technical sort of questions is a breath of fresh air. I'm not the most technical type of trainer that can give technical answers or post technical questions but technically I'm just getting a little bored with the game and don't want to be because I love this game.
