Another Moltres Powerup question
I caught several birds but none of them have that perfect 15 attack stat. I’m building up to solo Machamp so I am looking to maximize as much damage as possible. I’ve got a 15/13/15 Moltres, one 12/14/14, and one shiny one at 14/13/13. As much as I’m tempted to power the shiny one I’m not sure if the difference in stats will really make a difference for me. Unfortunately I only have the rare candy to power one up at this point. Is 13 good enough, or will the 15/13/15 serve me best since it’s highest or should I sacrifice health and defense for that one extra attack IV?
Thanks very much

Moltres with Fire Spin hits its final breakpoint (for neutral weather) at level 33.5 with 15 attack and level 34 with 14 attack.
In sunny weather a Moltres with 15 attack hits its breakpoint at level 37, and level 37.5 at 14 attack.
There’s breakpoints for charged Moves but they don’t matter much.
The 15/13/15 is definitely the best option, but it’ll only cost you a little bit more dust if you can’t resist powering up the shiny for the same results.
Believe the OP is using the Stamina/attack/defense IV order. Personally, I did my shiny, 14a/11/14 cp1839 instead of an 1853 or 1851. I have two fire Moltres and easier for me to look at the red one and always know what it is---then again I doubt I urgently need a SA Moltres anyway. I believe it is awesome, but I have other strong counters
