Dragonite questions

I don't come by dratinis very often, when I do I have to go completely out of my way to farm them. I've caught two dragonites in the wild whose movesets+iv make me wanna power them up.

Low iv with DT&O

- already powered him up cas honestly idc he's got the best moveset so I brought it to a level 30
2. DT&HB 1597cp L16 15.10.10 78IV
MY QUESTION is is it worth it to power him up. He's got a 15 attsck, isn't that the most important star. I have 156 dratini candies but I have never evolved a dratini into a dragonair or a dragonair into a dragonite. My best dratini is a 84IV hatched. The only dratini candies I used was to power up the first one. What's everyone thing

I'm a gambler as well only problem is in this case I don't think it makes sense for me to gamble in this scenario. My gym meta is weak compared to most peoples on here. Dragonites CP is so far above everyone besides Tyranitar that loosing a little bit of IV for a chance to get another dragonite quicker seems smarter. Plus isn't attack most important for his CP and his attscks a 15/15. I have 156 candies I could invest in my current dragonite, and continue to wait for another dratini. If I'm gonna evolve him and waste the candies is 84 really high enough anyhow? 6 points higher then my current dragonites iv? And with all that said I have the 3rd best move out of 6 so there's more than a 50% chance my moves are worst when I do evolve.

In my case in particular I don't think the risk is worth the reward, but I'm looking for some input.

I'll evolve a dratini of good iv when I have enough candies to bring the dragonite to L30 if it got good moveset (given that you have a DT/O one already)

Yes I want to do that eventually too. My point is right now I'm not satisfied with a 84IV dratini when I have a 78IV dragonite with a B moveset. I currently have 156 dratini candies, so you think it's worth it to make dratini my buddy (to start accumulating candies) and in the meantime invest in my dragonite so I have another defender worth 10 coins and 500 stardust a day?

Most trainers are expecting gym rework which probably ends up with CP is not everything for gym top shots. I'll wait and see before I spend rare candies to power up dragonite with non-optimal moveset just for getting high CP.

If that second Dragonite was dt/o or DT/h I would definitely power him up. However, it's a Dt/HB which is subpar to the other dt moveset by quite a lot ( no stab ). If I were u I'll just roll the dice on that Dratini or if u really care bout iv, then wait for a better one.

Dt hb isn't that great a moveset I wouldn't power it up. Agree with powering up your dt/o thought I did the same thing. I would would wait till you catch a better dratini or catch a better dragonite to power up with dt/0 or dt/hu
