Perfect IV & Moves Rapidash
So I got a perfect Ponyta Egg other day. I evolved it. And for the first time (its my 6th Rap) I actually got the perfect moves Ember and Fireblast.
However, a level 20 Egg to a level 30, would cost me 77500 Dust and 68 Candy.
And it would only give me an 1885 Rapadash
And since I'm level 33, I often just random evolve level 30 Eevees just for Gym Bait regardless of IVs. I have for example a 23/45 Level 30 Flareon with same moves and the Flareon has 2113 CP.
Even for Attack Ranges for powering a gym, I have an 1896 Flareon with same moves.
So the dilemma for me, is I have the best Rapidash possible. But even the best Rapidash sucks compared to a mediocre Flareon.
So I cant decide what to do.

Keep your rapidash as it is to train your gyms.
Keep the candies in case you'd like to make your rapidash stronger but if I were you I wouldn't do it.
There are too many stronger pokemon to feed.
Moreover fire type is a disaster when it comes to defend gyms. Even arcanine is nothing when attacked by a vaporeon
I actually prefer Rapidash to have low kick. Low kick is quicker and has a better EPS. I also prefer to use mine against Lapras or Snorlax, and low kick is SE against them, so it is the same as having STAB. I would argue that is the best moveset.
With ember as the moveset, I would agree with others. You are better off just using a Flareon.
