Should I power up this Dragonite

You wouldn't be able to bring this 'nite to a competitive CP with that few candies. Adding the fact that its IVs are low and it probably has the worst moveset for a dragonite, I would save the candy and the stardust for evolving a dratini of higher level/IV or catching a better Dragonite.

Agreed with /u/noxify. It is not worth it to power this guy up. Walk your dratini or this dragonite to get more candies.

I have one with 71% IVs and has same moveset. And I need to say that its not even fun using him in gyms because of SW. I am still powering him up because I invested so much stardust but if I knew this site before I evolved him, I wouldn't waste tons of stardust on him.
BTW your candies and stardust still aren't enough for fully powering him up. You should check it before making your decision

this is 1 trash ;-), forget and retry found an other

Low CP, Bad IV, worst moveset. Buddy and walk ;)

To make it powerful enough you need a lot of candies, so if you don't have them, try first to collect candies and if u don't get a better one with higher cp by this time, u can power it up

Dude! Its really up to you. Which ever makes you happy DO IT!!! Its a Dragonite after all. Its everyone's dream. BTW... what are its move set? As I personally prefer "Move set" over IV's but of course Rank A move set + great IV's are the best as preferred by Hardcore Players (I prefer for it also when time comes that I will get one).

I feel you dude...Its really hard to decide. I'm at level 28 and I maxed out my 42% Dragonite w/ Steelwing/DragonPulse and is now at 2750CP. Others might think I'm crazy but this dragonite of mine has been on the Gym for more than a month. Another Dragonite of mine is 73% w/ SW/DP moveset at 2481CP still currently defending another gym for more than month. I don't regret at all since again, It's a Dragonite and will always be a Dragonite. I just love Dragonites!!!

0% Dragonites in the real sense still has higher base stats than OTHER Pokémon's that has 100% IV's. Dragonite's Max possible CP at 100% IV's is 3500. My 42% will reach approximately 3300+ CP and my 73% at about 3400++ CP... see how high its CP would still be compared to 100% IV Lapras, Arcanine, Exeggutor that will max out at 2900+ CP. Even 100% IV snorlax will max out at 3100 CP.

That being said, your low IV Dragonite will still be on top of the GYM than those 9 other Pokémon's defending the GYM with you as long as you have Rank A defensive move set. Not unless if you all 10 Dragonites defending the Gym together.

This is what I learn from the previous Dragonite Thread with my dear Hardcore friends here (hehe):

-0% Dragonite is strong, but 50% one is obviously stronger than the latter, and 100% Dragonite being the strongest. (Comparing Dragonites vs Dragonites)

-0% Dragonite is still at its strongest among any other 100% IV Pokémon's in the current metagame.

-100% Dragonite will always be weak vs a lower IV LAPRAS!!! Hahahahaha :P

-You can still beat and take down a 100% Dragonite if you have a Pokémon that has Ice Skills (if your great in dodging & timing).

-0% Dragonite is as rare and hard to find as 100% one which means 40% to 90% IV's are commonly distributed (I guess anything in between is fairly decent enough).

-Lastly, just make sure you don't get hit by Dragon Pulse whether its a 0% to 100% IV Dragonite as it will surely make you suffer!!!

Hope it helped. Chow!
