Which Metagross to power up and invest in?

Hey everyone. I have a dilemma. So I have 3 good Metagrosses with MM but I'm having trouble deciding which one to power up. So I have 2 that has 96% IV's and 1 that has 98%. Two of them are lucky. The stats are:

96% Lucky that has 15 Attack and Defense, 13 Stamina but is low level/CP.
96% that has 15 Stamina and Attack, and 13 Defense and is a high level/CP.
98% Lucky that has 15 Stamina and Defense, and 14 Attack and is moderate level/CP.

I didn't catch as much Beldum's as I wanted to and have enough candy to fully max out 1, and maybe the remaining candy to power up a second one. Any help and answers would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Go for lukies first. Start with the high one for sure. IMO

Thanks for your response! They all seem similar in stats and was also wondering how much more damage will each one do compared to each other? If there are even any possibility of a difference

Being so close together any difference in performance would be completely negligible.

Power them all up. Start with the luckies, and then the other one. They are all great, the differences between them are negligible, save for the lucky ones using half dust. Don't overthink it, just do it.

I see, thank you for reply! I guess I'll do the Lucky 98% as I'm trying to save the Stardust I have. The other lucky is a really low CP, but I don't want to use the candies for that. The reason I was skeptical about it is because I've read people saying that it's not the best idea to invest in something that doesn't have a 15 Attack which is the most important aspect in the game.

One current use for Metagross is against T4 Togetic raids. Any Atk IV 11 or higher will hit the final Bullet Punch breakpoint by level 30 (with best friend bonus). So any of these will work. If you want to dual a Togetic, both player will need three Meteor Mash Metagross with that final breakpoint.

Depending on how close the higher level Metagross is to 30, start by taking it up to at least 30 so it can in the meantime be used against Blissey in gyms.

If you are tight on resources, use Gamepress's CP calculator or an app like PokeGenie or CalcyIV to see how much stardust and candy it will cost to take each up to level 30.

Thank you for your response. I've read from other users on what to power up and numerous people said that investing in something that does NOT have 15 Attack is worthless. I wasn't exactly too sure if I should use the limited amount of candy and stardust I have on a mon that has 14 Attack. My closest Metagross that is almost near 30 is the Attack/Def one but it isn't lucky. I'll definitely check out those apps and see how much of the candies and dust I need. Thanks again, your post was really insightful and what I was looking for
