First Charizard — Evolve or wait?
So I have a level-28 Charmander — S 12 / A 13 / D 15 — and I just enough candies (128) to evolve it into my first Charizard. I was going to do it today on a lucky egg (I have a mass hatch ready to burst), but am now wondering if I should wait for the starters event. I feel like the high-level is a big advantage because I won't have to pour tons of stardust (or candy since I don't have a lot) into it. Would my fellow trainers evolve it or wait?

The only downside to waiting is that you are delaying the joy of evolving your Charizard.
Other than that, there is upside that you would get a higher level one with lower IV, but it is low. What is your trainer level? Rememer that you will catch wild pokemon only as high as your trainer level (up to 30).
I would say do it now
and plan to get a second one during the event. You may be even more motivated if you get a crappy moveset.
