How Many to Keep?

I just wanted to see what everyone thinks is the best number of each type of pokemon to keep. Ones like Furrett, and Ledian are obvioiusly 1 just to have it, but I mean the actual ones that are useful for Gyms and raids. Is 6 enough or should I keep more than that for ones like T-Tar and Dragonite?

Are you short on space? After rework I've transferred mediocre prestigers and bubblers, and now I collect new mons in pretty slow rate. So I don't bother to discard others.

I'm not short on space, but I also don't want to keep more than is necessary. For example i have 18 Snorlax (none of which were from the Raids). I used to keep them all because of gyms but with the rework i'm debating to trade all but those over 80% IV during the next double candy trade in. I just wanted to see if there was a concensus as to what people thought was a good number for good battlers to hold onto. A full team of 6 or more in case.

I transfer them all. I have a few useless ones like Venomoth and Raticate but they are at 100%IV so I'll hold on to them. The rest are candies for me. I have maxed out storage space but I really don't store Pokémon unless they are for XP evolve.

Dex fillers just one. Raid attackers, 6 for each Pokemon if it is a supreme counter. More than 6 is still helpful if a different moveset has an advantage over a different boss.

I still have a small army of hyper-beam Furretts, which I previously I would have used for prestiging and then thrown away. I have other previously useful prestigers and haven't quite got around to getting rid of them yet.

I guess that I will have a clear-out when I start running short of Pokemon storage.

Since I still like to walk and catch, and do mass evolutions as I'm getting closer to level 36, I keep running out of space and have started to clean up my collection.

There are some mon I will always keep (all 11 laxes, including CP 44), my oldest wild catch (level 9 gengar from the Halloween event), others associated with good memories. Of course, all of my good attackers, high IV "useful" mon, rares and decent regionals (tauros and corsola).

I've transferred most low IV mon (slow process checking them all), common prestigers such as raticate, most low CP. Don't know what I'm doing wrong, though, I keep getting close to the limit...

As for good attackers and counters, I think it can be useful to keep as many as you have room for, that way you won't have to waste time healing in between battles.
