Is there good reason to power up Level 20-ish 100% pokemon that are outside of the usual attack group, i.e. they're not Dnite or Ttars etc.? I've got a bunch of them that are sitting at level 20 or so, but have what I think are better alternatives that are already powered up. For example, I've got a 100% Poliwrath at level 20 with Mudshot/Submission, a potential fighter (with a couple TM's), but already have 3 93%+ Machamps at Level 35. Or, I've got two Charizards (Fire Spin/Dragon Claw and Air Slash/Fire Blast), but I have a 98% Entei with FS/O at level 31 and have a level 20 87% Moltres with FS/O that is sitting on 75 candies awaiting a reason to power up.
Other 100's at level 20 include Nidoking, Ninetails, Magnetron, Seadra, Arcanine, Misdreavus, Venusaur and Exeggutor (extrasensory/psychic).
The only 100's that I have powered up are three Gary's, a B/C, a DT/O, and a WF/HP, each to Level 35.
I have plenty of candy to power them all up, but don't know whether any are worth the dust investment. Are there future legendaries for which any of these might be useful?
No.
They're Trophies right now. I'm super-jealous of you (my 100% are 2 Ratatta, Beedril, Azumaril, Dugtrio, Marowak and a Machamp) but unless the Pokémon is meta-relevant, I'm not powering it up. And likely never will; I'd LOVE to have my Beedril at Level 40, but that would just be for my own gratification. I'd probably never use it outside of tossing it into a Gym as a SubtleBrag.
Thank you. Weather boosts have made it easier to get serviceable high level Exeggcutes without having to spend dust. I've got a forest of Exeggutors including a level 35/84% E/Solarbeam, a level 30/84% C/Solarbeam and a level 25/89% E/P, plus several others with second tier IVs at level 30+ with Seed Bomb.
Didn't realize that there were gen 4 evolutions of the M&M's.
Id hang on to them for now and forget them. Right now the game is way too centered on having multiple copies of the strongest attackers for each type.
Who knows, maybe one day they will rebalance the game and limit the use of multiples, in which case your Poliwrath would be right at home in a Machamp, Breloom, Hariyama, Blaziken, Heracross Fighting team
I have a few like that that I maxxed out a while ago, I have a maxxed perfect Charizard and another maxxed perfect Arcanine which are slightly useful, and then others like Venomoth, Victreebel, and Primeape (actually I do use Primeape sometimes as a fourth fighter because his CP is up to 2000). I have to say I like putting my Venomoth in gyms to show it off. I also think it is fun to use different pokemon than the norm, so I don't usually power up more than two of any particular mon.
But like some others said a perfect Exeggutor would really come in handy I think, I am surprised you haven't already powered that up (although I don't know what else you have going on.)
