Chansey Dilemma, Need Help
So I have two Chanseys as of now, both hatched from eggs. However, I got one much earlier than the other and began walking it/dumping all my candies and stardust into it. Just recently I hatched a new Chansey with better IVs.
1st Chansey) 10/10/12 1098 CP (lvl 28.5)
2nd Chansey) 13/12/14 807 CP (lvl 20)
My question is:
Should I stay the course and evolve the first Chansey when gen 2 drops, or should I begin focusing on the other Chansey with better IVs and evolve that one when time comes? I am already hoarding Chansey candies right now, and am at 32.
Thank you to all who respond.

Yeah, I'd just walk if I was in your shoes and wait...I am in the same boat, but have hatched 2 and 1, during double candies so am close to take a Chansey to level 30 once it's available...
I also caught a 95-98% one at lvl 1 or 2 that I am tempted to power up eventually, but we'll see due to having limited gym defenders...
With the recent CP/stats changes, Chanseys are pretty much buffed into tanky monsters....and possibly timeout low level players in gym defense....Can't imagine how much worse it can get when evolved into Blisseys...
U might be interested to check out this video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjwI021oJQA ). Even with top DPSers like alakazams or dragonites, they are taking like 52+ secs to down it.....
I wouldn't waste resources powering up Chansey at this point. Chansey will become much more useful as Blissey. And, like other evolutions, there will be a chance of getting a crappy moveset.
The only difference with Chansey / Blissey is that their main attraction is HP and moveset is secondary. Given that you have already invested in getting a Chansey to Level 28.5, I would stop investing in either and wait for Gen 2 to evolve into Blissey. Remember to save Candy for the evolution :-)
