Hello:
I have 2 Enteis 91, one is 15;11;15 attack, defense, stamina, and the other one is 14;13;14. Clearly the latest is more equilibrated but in the current meta It seems as attack is the only importante matter. Which one would you pick? Thank you.
Wow, same moves.
If they had the same Attack stat, I would choose the one with the higher defense, for Entei is health-based and has lower defense, so defense would help it use all of its high health instead of add a tiny bit more health with Stamina.
Then again, one of these is 15 attack and another is 14, and their moves and IVs are similar.
I would go with the 15 attack one.
Yes - the difference between Attack 14 and 15 is bigger for a Legendary Pokémon (which can't be put on Gyms) than a Defense of 11 and 13. With Legendary Pokémon, you're looking to maximize the Damage Per Second (DPS).
I've wasted a good 10 Raid Passes because I focused on being able to survive a Raid Battle rather than WIN the Raid battle. And it took me a while to build up the kind of Pokémon that can do enough damage in a Raid battle with others to get the Bonus balls for damage. I still can't beat an Alakazam solo if it has Focus Blast - I can survive the battle easily (if I lose 3 Pokémon, I've had a bad time of it), but I can't do enough damage in 180 seconds to take it down. I regularly lose 1 ball in Legendary Raids because I can't do enough damage to get that bonus - because I focused on overall IV (my 4 Golems are all over 90 IV's, but only 1 has an Attack over 13, for instance) rather than maximizing my attack potential.
For now, go for the Attack. You won't go wrong with maxing out the Attack 15/Stamina 15 one, at all. Maybe the meta will change in the future to make the other one worth maxxing out as well, but for now the Attack/Stamina 15 is the better one to max.
The defense doesn't feature a huge different, only of 2 IVs. The higher defense Entei isn't super likely to hit any new defensive breakpoints. Entei's Fire Spin is a pretty slow, high damage quick move though, so it will run into a lot of attacking breakpoints. Therefore, that 1 IV in attack may make a sizable difference down the road. Power up the 15 attack IV Entei.
