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.

Considering that Chansey will gain an evolution, I see no reason for investing in one now. It's no different from how you wouldn't want to power up a growlithe before evolving it into an Arcanine just to get a useless moveset.

Blissey's power as a defender will be much less dependent on moveset than most pokemon due to it's stat distribution

But the quick move could still have an important impact. There is a big difference as a defender between Snorlax with Zen Headbutt and Snorlax with Lick. Blissey could get equally divergent quick moves.

Yeah imo don't power either one up till after u evolve it and make sure it's moves r not garbage. Just walk one and save your Candy's.

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.....

Love the videos. Really great work, thanks man!

I think you've already committed to that first one. Too much invested and move set should be less important on Blissey then on any other. IF you think it'll b useful in gyms now, I could understand powering it up but its prolly best to wait.

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 :-)
