L2 Legacy Dragonite

I have a level 2 "above average" 149CP Dragonite with the famous Dragonbreath/Dragonclaw moveset.
I never used it and I am wondering if you think the moveset makes it worth to power it up despite the meh iv and low level.

Save it for when you reach 40 and you have nothing else to do or power up. That day will come.

Exactly. This is what I did with a 96% & 50 CP after some months.

Mine is 64% but I have him maxed out at level 40. He has over 5000 battles won. I still say IV’s are a bit overrated. They meant the most when they’d get you into a higher gym spot in the old days so you’d be that much further from getting shaved.

Definitely like using DB/DC. To me, it’s not a question of if you should power him up, but when.

Do you have a wonder with DT/OR?

DB/DC with dodge all might help save potions when fighting gyms, if that is a problem you face. Otherwise, probably better to focus on powering up attackers for raids.

Out of curiosity, what are the other appraisals? If it has decently good attack IV, it will still be close to the full potential. I mean, even 0 attack IV is still 94% of the attack stat that you get from 15 attack IV.

I don't know exactly. Its HP value is 15.
I think I will keep it and maybe power it up sometime.
I got a 96% one at lvl 30 with Dt/Or as Dragon attacker un the meanwhile.

I have one at lvl 36.5 (15/9/15), I use it quite often in gym battling but not so much in raids (then again, I have 2 lvl 40, 100% and 96% 15/13/15, Dragonites with DT/O).

I probably would save the one you have and boost it if I ever am out of projects to boost.

I powered up my 44% with 3 Attack (like you, the only one I ever got with DC), but it wasn't as low a level as yours. I'd do it, but perhaps not yet unless you have a pressing need.

Im going to be a prick here, power it up when resources allow. I didnt power up mine, I have one 84 iv caught at level 30. Caught after aimlessly walking around for 8 months in a hilly, industrial park next to rock creek park.

Newton,

I envy your lifestyle that you can spend 8 months aimlessly walking around in a hilly industrial park.

I'll wait till gen 3 release, since you already waited about a year, couple more weeks will not hurt.
You could be very disappointed if you'll spend resources now and DB/DC became useless crap in two weeks.

DB/DC isn't that great now. It's good for dodging, but DT/O does a lot more damage.
We'll know more when we finally see Salamence and Rayquaza, but it could end up being a big dust sink for very little gain.

It's good for gym sweep, like any 3 bar move. With low motivated defenders or disposable defenders it's common case when outrage charged only when defender almost dead. I don't have db/dc, but I like to use 3 bar move users like crunch ttar, aqua tail vape, rb Golem, to sweep gyms, so I guess I'll like db/dc since it has better typing and higher stats

Mine is maxed despite 38% IVs.... awesome moveset. And with all this extra dust.... I guess it also depends on how many other dragons you have. Either way, you won't regret keeping him.
