Which krabby should I evolve?
I've Heard it said that some pokemon don't really have a Place in gym battles, e.g. Kingler. That said, I have 2 krabbys to chose from to evolve.
One with max Defense IV and high Attack IV but comparably low HP.
The other is max Attack and high HP but comparably low Defense.
Should I get a Kingler with good attack and hope for a good offensive moveset to attack gyms with or a Kingler with high defense and hope for a good defensive moveset to hold gyms with?

Is Kingler a good Pokemon to attack or defend? There are many better ones for sure.
Should that stop you from using it? Not really.
If I had to choose I would pick the one with high HP, since it could be used in offense and since electric types are weak and it can have a bug charge move to use against weak grass types it could be used in gyms.
