Power up or not

I caught a 100 iv Lapras cp 42 with best defensive moveset and i have a 1927 Lapras with 60% Iv. Should I power up the perfect one or the 60% one.

How many candy do you have?

If you have the 200 candies you need then you probably have a different Lapras to power up.
If you don't, then power up the 1927, or just wait to get a better one.

(Basically - hard luck with the level of the 100 iv guy. There's nothing you can do really to power him up - it's simply too many candies. If you only have the 6 candies from two catches, then it's debatable whether the 1927 is worth powering yet. Wait until you have enough candies to get it where you want it, then choose the best one).

I would go with the 60% one. There really should be some PSA type of thing to explain IV's to people. IV's really does not make much difference. E.g, perfect IV Lapras vs 60% IV Lapras:

186+15 vs 186+7 (96%)
190+15 vs 190+7 (96%)
260+15 vs 260+7 (97%)

I would call that almost perfect.

Lapras Candies are too precious to spend on a 60% IV one. The difference of CP at the end will be huge. Plus the 60% doesnt have a good defensive moveset?

On the sort term powering up the Higher CP one look good but on the long term you will regret it. Start powering up the 100%one. You will have the best possible defender of the whole game. A 100% Lapras with best defensive moveset. Put him as a buddy all the time.

Here, let me fix that for you:

"Lapras candies are too precious to waste on a pokemon that's only level 3. Assuming you could even get a level 3 Lapras all the way to level 30, the difference in CP between 100% IV and 60% IV is minimal."

That's not to say recycle the 100% Lapras (if nothing else, it's nice to have a perfect mon for your collection). If you are really, seriously, totally committed to leveling it to 30, then go ahead and do it. Just bear in mind that it will be a very long slog to get there.
