Which Machop should I evolve?

I kind of got back into Pokemon Go pretty recently and didn't know much about IV's before that. I currently have two machops that are decent:

Machop (88%) - 157 cp - IV(15-[9-10]-15)
Machop (91%) - 539 cp - IV(15-13-13)

The 88% Machop is also a July of 2016 one, which I believe is guaranteed lucky (I don't know much about lucky pokemon though).

I am at about 100 candies right now, so if I get a better one before I hit 125 candies, I'll definitely probably evolve that. However, out of these two, I am not sure which one I should go for. Both of them have 15 ATK, so I am not worried about that. So out of all my pokemon, this is likely to be one of my strongest immediately after evolving. I managed to catch entei for the month already. And I hatched a 96% Mr. Mime from a 7km egg today, which is also pretty strong. I do have other decent IVed pokemon, but machop is the one I have the most candies for right now. So considering it will be one of my first strongest pokemon, which one should I evolve?

Pokémon only turn lucky in a trade. The 88% one will not be lucky for you, but will guarantee both it and the Pokémon you receive will turn lucky in a trade (only if both you and your trading partner don't already have 10 lucky Pokémon). Your 91% is definitely the better candidate.

Yep, agree. Evolve the 91% one, trade the other to give someone else a guaranteed lucky machop, and in exchange, get something you want to be lucky. Larvitar might be a good choice now, with a month of Mewtwo ahead of us, but your pokedex and what it needs will be the best judge of that.

None of them. Machops are abundant until Sep 30. Catch as many you can, preferably with a Pinap berry. Also raid all Machamps you see, that’s top investment. IV above 90%, att 15? Just power it up and make sure it gets C/DP.
