Please help! Haha Machop stats

My luck with RNG on this guy is bad over 13 evolution no C/DP...3 options
Level 30 14/7/7 62%
Level 27 13/5/13 73%
Level 20 15/11/13 87%
Pick 1 to evolve taking into consideration amount of dust and candy it would take if I got the correct move set to power up, thanks all
(Wondering if iv really even matters that much with correct set so in my mind makes sense for higher cp for a sole attacker but want to hear opinions)

considering your luck on evolves (they are rare here, I have only had 5 shots at it none going double fight) if you do get the moves you want you want it to be worthwhile and it looks like candy isn't that hard to get were you are i would just do the highest IV one.

I would do the 73 on. Not so bad ivs, good level and will come ready to use. Considering you have about 500% chance of getting BP and/or heavy slam the chances you will ever put dust on a champ is minimum, and if you are the luckiest person on GP 73% is good enough for an attacker.

Regarding your parenthetical question - IV would matter if you want to prestige, in which case lower IV but higher level is better for a given CP target (except for higher stamina is generally good). If for attacking opposing gyms, it has been written many times here and with concrete examples shown that IV matters very little due to FLOOR() function rounding down, so that it is demonstrably true in many cases ZERO difference between 0 and 15 values for attack or defense.
There are obviously many IV perfectionists on this board that disagree, but it is not based on actual damage mechanics.
Big caveat - maybe gym re-work and/or PvP would change this, but if you need a fighter now (like I do!) I would roll the dice with your level 30 - and may the RNG gods look favorably on your attempt!

Thank you for you post. In a nutshell what I hear you saying is for sole purpose to attack iv means very little difference let's say between a 100% vs 50% mon, obviously for high cp defenders I only do typically +93% for higher placement but for attack I lean towards good iv high level vs lower level excellent iv bc I feel dust can be spent elsewhere.
