Gotta evolve a karp… so which one?
Just finished the 10 raid battles in Mew quest, so it's time to evolve a Magikarp so I can move on. Seeing as the best IV is lower level, should I just save myself some dust and go for the biggest one?
L A/D/S
183CP - L35 14/10-11/7-8 [EDITED TO CORRECT LEVEL]
170 CP - L30 15/9/7 [EDITED TO CORRECT CP]
154 CP - L26 13/15/14
57 CP - L15-16 0-2/15/1 (It's shiny, haha)
My current Gary roster, in case that influences the choice:
RW Fassbinder: WF/HP L38 14/15/13 3159CP
Werner Herzog: B/DP L35.5 15/14/13 3048CP
Wim Wenders: DT/HP L29 15/7/13 2652CP
Thanks!

with kyogre existing you're probably not going to want to power up any gyarados, so just evolve the highest level one as it'll be the most useful in battle should you ever need to use it.
even if you don't have a kyogre, it will most likely return in the future seeing as previous raid bosses have returned.
to put it into perspective, something like a level 27 kyogre is on par with a maxed gyarados, so if you do have one but don't consider it's IVs good enough, in my opinion any kyogre is still worth powering over a gyarados to save yourself a good amount of stardust in exchange for rare candies.
Thanks for the tip — that's the direction I was leaning, especially since my best IV one has the worst attack stat. The one advantage of powering up a Gyarados is that with the 1km buddy walk, it's a lot easier than blowing rare candy. However, maxing them out takes A LOT of stardust, so probably best to evolve that L35.
More like Kyogre exists so why power Gyarados when you could put an equal amount of dust into Kyogre and get better returns, in the same way that a Salamence is outclassed by Rayquaza.
There's nothing wrong with using Gyarados but why put dust into one when there's a better alternative. Keep making stuff up though.
