Blissey: try again or power up sub moveset?

With limited candy count of 117 I am really struggling with what my best move would be. Try again for a good moveset or power up what I have. I would love to get some opinions from others. Thanks!

My Chancey options:
1) CP 1055. IV 49. attack 10 def 3 hp 9
2) CP 1035. IV 64. attack 11 def 2 hp 14
3) CP 913. IV 57. attack 13. def 7 hp 8
4) CP 829. IV 89. attack 15 def 11 hp 14

OR

power up a current Blissey
2848 Zen/Dazz but she is maxed for my level
2628 pound/dazz
2538 zen/psychic
2470 zen/beam
2223 pound/dazz

candy count 117

I vote for powering up what you have. Even a suboptimal moveset Blissey is still a better defender than anything else, and will strengthen any gym she goes in.

You could use all you candy on evolves, and still not get the moveset that you want.
At some point if you wish to maintain more than 1, then you are already going to need to buddy up to get more candy...so keep what you have for maintaining what you have.

agreed. I got the worst moveset and still maxed him out. He's amazing from keeping the persistent low lvl's from taking your gym.

I think for defending ivs (especially heavy atk) are necessary for gym placement, more so than moveset, but of the ivs are >= 80%, id power up your first two current blisseys

I really don't understand why people bother evolving so many...50 an evolve is too costly IMO to keep trying for movesets. I got crappy moves on mine as I do with nearly all my evolves, but maxed it anyways.

I had over 500+ candies and only evolved 2 since Blissey needs all the CP she can get to stay in gyms (6th rank CP now). This may all change with gym rework, but movesets are overated IMO since they can and WILL possibly change in the future so what is best now may not be best later (looking at you PC/P Alakazam).

I only have 2 maxed Blisseys and can push them all the way to level 37+ with saved candies. Unless I hatch more, I'm happy to just evolve 2. Unlike Vaps, Rhydons or Gary where candies are plentiful, you want to be more stingy with Chansey candy.

You already have too many blisseys, lol. Any suboptimal moveset blissey is going to be better that the optimal snorlax...so just power up what you have! ;)

Pound/Dazzling is fine to power up, IMO. Though the IVs are important to know.

You didn't give us the IVs for your current Blisseys, but I'm assuming they are probably better than the IVs on your remaining Chanseys. The 80% is the only Chansey I would save for evolving later. But for now I would focus on powering up one or two of the Blisseys with Dazzling Gleam or Hyper Beam, depending on the IVs. I'd also want to save enough candy to continue powering up the currently maxed out Zen Headbutt/Dazzling Gleam Blissey.

I would power up the pound/dazzling and zen/beam (lower two cp) blissey. A 2600 blissey is already usable in most gyms. Max out the lower two to have 4+ viable.

5 Blisseys ranging form 2200 - 2800+, and still have 117 candies!!? I wish I had that. Definitely, just work on powering up your current ones regardless of a moveset. This is the best defender in the game right now, and you have 5!

I really appreciate all the feedback and please know this is a serious question that I am sure a lot of players have.

Evolve the high CP just for gym placement. Nurture a better one knowing it will take all your candy and then walking for more or power up the ones with sub optimal moveset.

I just wanted some opinions on what others would do and I thank that that offered them.

... now.. any word on a weekend event?
