Chansey evolution dilemma
I have no huge IV chanseys, they are pretty rare where I live and I've only caught 4 of them and none hatched. If I have to evolve a <80 IV Chansey, which of the 3 stats should I prioritize? I've been hearing that CP is important so max attack stat ones rather than defence/stamina.

Attack by a long shot, both in terms of CP and actual combat ability. For reference, 2 points into attack give more max CP than 15 stamina, 4 attack about the same as 15 defence, so 6 points into attack about the same as 15 in both defence and stamina.
Attack IV is so disproportionately weighted that total IV is less important, while the distribution is very important.
Chanseys are rare enough that even lower IV ones could be still worth powering if they're decently high level and/or have good attack. There's no telling when you'll get another Chansey, and whether or not it'll even have better IVs, if you'll even get another one, so if you've got enough candies to evolve and power up a Chansey to where it'll sit comfortably in gyms, do it and start earning some extra coins.
