Investment Question

I've been wanting to max out 3 of my mons, but I've been holding off, thinking that there may be some new moves added to the game upon release of Gen 3.

1) Eggy 98% 15 atk BS/SB
2) Gengar 96% 15 atk SC/SB (legacy)
3) Dragonite 98% 15 atk SW/DP (willing to use TMs for better moves if worth it to power up)

Even though none of these mon got any moves changed, I fear that they will release a second wave of moves when they release the second half of Gen 3. What would you guys do?

Also are these mons worth the dust to max out at lvl 40?

All three I would consider maxing. The only way you’d find a better mon than what you have is if it had perfect IVs.

I would recommend powering up the shadow claw/shadow ball Gengar, I like using mine and have max it.

What is the exact iv of gengar? Is it 15/15/13 ads? I think it's worth maxing out gengar and egg. Dragonite I would tm sw to dt. Do you have more Dragonites or is that the only one you have? If u have more with outrage I would keep it as dp just in case and just leave it as is for now. Salamance is just around the corner too. If its ur only dragonite I would max it out and change it to dt/or.

Agree. DT is a devastatingly good quick move, way better than SW. Outrage is great too, but if you like dragon claw, you can't get that back, so on that front, well, get another Dragonite to cover that moveset too.

But yes, I'd power up the Gengar, than the other two (pretty even between those two IMO, depends more on your needs).

What level is the egg At? Is it 20? If you have millions of dust I would but with the weather buff u could find a level 35 egg in the wild with same or close iv to save dust. But iv is forever, only one better is a perfect. U could also find a perfect egg level 35 if ur local area is being scanned and sent notifications to discord. My area does but I just don't like driving to hunt perfect. It's not fun for me, I like the surprise of appraising it and hatching stuff and I hate driving lol. I do encourage it to people tho so they have no regrets at all powering a Pokemon to 40 if they don't mind driving.

The likelihood of finding a wild mon with 91% or better IV in weather boost is 2,4%, and getting it at level 30 or higher is 0.5%. I would not bank on that without scanners.

I would TM and max out the Dragonite in a heartbeat. Salamence is all around worse because it doesn't get Outrage and there's no saying when Rayquaza gets released or how easy it will be to get one if it goes into EX raids instead of normal. You will get a lot of use out of that Dragonite in the meantime. If you don't already have a maxed DT/OR Dragonite, this is even more of a priority.

Eggy is worth maxing out for Kyogre and Groudon raids for sure.

Gengar is a very niche attacker. It has amazing IVs and the valuable legacy moveset, so if you care about soloing Alakazam, dealing maximum damage in Mewtwo raids or other things Gengar excels at, max away.

All 3 of those mons are at lvl 31. And I have about 2.3 mil dust. I don't really use scanners, but I could give it a shot.
