Sometimes, I don't know if the things this game gives me are blessings, or curses. I caught a wild Blissey with P/DG. I've been wishing I had a DG Blissey, because when I fight them in gyms, they always give me the most trouble, but went ahead with powering up a couple with sub-optimal movesets to levels that they are decent to put in a gym, just over 2900CP.
The problem is that the Blissey I caught is at lvl 16 and has 9 HP IV. So, it would take me 128 candies, that I don't have, to get its CP up to something in the mid-2800s.
Do I candy it and just accept that this is not the mon I want? Do I go with it on the basis that it could take me more than three evolves to get a DG Blissey?
Most likely, I will collect candy and wait, but at some point, I either spend the candy on evolve attempts or powering her up. Ultimately, I can't do both.
This is a torturous existential dilemma.
You wait for the gym rework on things like this...If CP or some other number is still a factor in rankings, you have to see how this plays out...and adjust accordingly.
Niantic also knows about complaints on move rerolls so wait for that possible option if it comes out in 9 months, year, who knows...
Mid 2800CP won't last at all in my area so if the IVs are too low, there's nothing you can do to change and you might as well not power it up at all...
