Multiple legendaries

So up until now the question wasn't really relevant for me to ask myself if I would power up multiple legendaries of one type. I was rather unlucky with Zapdos, Entei and Articuno. But now things have changed. With Raikou I got a 96% 13/15/15 and a 93% 14/15/13. I decided to power up the 93% one due to 14 attack. Now with Groudon I got a 100% on the first try and today caught a 15/14/15 98%. With gen3 being pretty underwhelming except for Metagross and the legendaries I think it would be pretty dumb to not go with the 98% one too and power him up. Having one with SoB and one EQ would be another benefit. Then there is raikou...he's by far the best counter to Kyrogue and a second one would up my damage by a lot. Would you go with those second ones in my situation even though I didn't want to power up multiple of one legend in the beginning? Rare candy are rare but not really a problem.

I would personally go with Groudon first since a SB Groudon is almost entirely separate from an EQ Groudon...could almost consider them two entirely different legendaries. Raikou would merely be a double. Having another one would certainly up your damage but I think unless raiders are incredibly sparse in your area you're better off with one Raikou behind a team of Jolteons and Exeggcutors.

My team for Kyrogue currently consists of Raikou, Zapdos, Jolteon, Exeggutor, Groudon. The sixth spot is up for grabs. Currently the options are Magneton, Victrebeel, Venasaur or Confusion/SoB Exeggutor.

Do you have a decent zapdos to power up instead of a second raikou ? Even tho raikou is better due to movesets in your position i wouldn't power up a second one (esp sense it has 13 atk) id use the dust and candy on either zapdos or that other Groudon...ps share that horseshoe with me a bit I have yet to get any Groudon over 93%

As I told I wasn't very lucky with legendaries....especially with attack stats...my best zapdos was by far.a 91% 12/14/15...I powered him up a bit, bit I'm not sure if I want to invest further into that guy

91% isn't that bad. I did about 30 Entei Raids and the best I've seen was 84%.
But you shouldn't hesitate to power up a Legendary which lacks good IVs. If my best Raikou had 10 attack I would power it up anyway. It's simply the best of its type and 1 or 2 less att IV are far away from changing that.
Right now a second Raikou is more efficient than a Raikou and a Zapdos. But if you prefer more diversity then go for the Zapdos.

I feel with you! I did about 40 entei raids and the best I got was 89% even though I have to admit that on the last day a bettee one flew from me.

gen1/2 beasts are barely better than eeveeloution counterparts so little point if having more than 1 with it's own type moves. ho/groundon/kyrogre (depending on what moves it ends up with) all have 2 distinct options between type or neutral dmg. save candy for those.
