IV Strategy
So wondering what's the best thing to do:
Want to evolve an Eevee to Umbreon who ofc has great defense and stamina but terrible attack. Is it better to find an Eevee with 15 attack to compensate a little or should you play to its strength and find one with 15 on defense/stamina?

I usually look for a high attack. I also prefer HP over Def because lower Def actually makes you build energy faster from defenders' attacks, increasing your DPS. (Or at least that is my understanding).
I also agree that it is generally better to have a high IV for the mon's weakest stat. For example, don't power up a snorlax with a 10 attack.
