for now we can produce candy (by Walking with Buddy). Stardust more important now). If we still play this game we will find more good Iv & Stats (and maybe you will transfer Iv under 80). So, use stardust wisely.
I will not power up #1 (because maybe some day I will transfer Iv under 80)
Ive ever heard that max Snorlax CP 3112 (Lv 41,5 with 100% IV) and Snorlax wit IV 51% only have 2872 CP (Lv41,5).....
Assuming you don;t have unlimited snorlax candy, I would power #1. In gym defense, if your snorlax is the only defender, any half decent player can take you down regardless of your moveset, but in a slightly stronger gym having the right moves count way more than the very smaller deficit in CP that come from only 50% IVs. And if you have plenty of friendly gyms nearby that regularly level up to 10, the main aim is to get your CP higher than the bottom players in the gym so that you don;t get knocked out at the first attempt. If someone (or a team) strong wants to take the gym down, they will anyway.
Bad iv's doesn't matter? ok its still going to be very good...but not that good like a Snorlax with better IVs. I dont think that use all candies and dust in bad IV's pokemon its the best choice just cuz you dont have other in hands right now. Patience and strategy its a big part of this game. Imagine if you power this 51% one and few hours later hatch/catch a 90%+ after spend 100 candies and like 80k dust? just a point.
What's this thing with "CP too low don't power".
N°3 IS PERFECT and is obviously the one to power.
Yes it will cost a lot of candies (which you have) and dust.
When you will reach lvl35+ you will regret to have powered up all the medium IV, 2nd best moveset etc pokemon because you wont use them anymore.
While this N°3 will be usefull until the end of the game. You will power it up to lvl40.
Easy choice
N°2 Is useless since you already have a offensive Snorlax (plus Snorlax not the best offensive one)
you can use n)1 right now on gyms and power him up a little bit if two low in gyms
Well, the 96% level 7 snorlax will need 119400 dust and 113 candies just to reach level 30. I would never spend all this dust on him for now, its not that hard to hatch a ~80%+ snorlax level 20 with a great defensive moveset or catch one in the wild. Would be frustrating spend all this and catch/hatch a good one with lower IV....just patience unless you have so much dust and only bad poke.
"not hard to hatch a ~80%+ snorlax"
his is 96% and snorlax is 1 of 17 pokemon that you get from 10ks (or 16 if ur not in europe). who knows if egg pokemon have weighted spawns too. weedle/caterpie/pidgey etc seem way more common than the starters in my experience. and then you also have moveset, 2 of 6 which are the ones he wants (zb + bs/hb)
If he powers it up right now he has a usable snorlax that can immediately start returning it's investment by defending gyms and getting stardust from defender bonuses.
if he's being picky about what pokemon he's powering up he's probably got stardust spare that he's not using (because he's not powering up crap pokemon) and if he doesn't have any by the time he's finished powering up this low lv snorlax, he probably won't have another pokemon that would have used that stardust as efficiently anyway.
even if he were to hatch a 44 or 45 IV snorlax from a 10k egg and it also gets a good defending moveset, how is that 120k stardust wasted, because he now has 2 top tier snorlaxes to defend gyms with. that low lv snorlax isn't unusable anymore if he finds a better one, which he probably won't.
