Invest in this shiny Gyarados or not?

I have been lucky enough to catch 3 shiny karps so far, and this is, by far, the best one. But given its defense stat, I'm on the fence whether to invest TMs and dust. What say you good people?

You're right; that came out wrong. I'll reword the question a bit.

Cant blame him. I got 9 of them... His shiny has 15 attack tho... I would max it out

I mean you already spent 400 candies to evolve it so there was some sort of consideration.

So you would seriously waste a Rare Candy on a Pokemon you can walk to get 1 candy per km? Such a waste.

No rare candies spent. My daily walking trail is a Magikarp spawn point, and I catch around 15-20 per day.

Defense? A Jolteon has little trouble with any Gyarados. However, they can be decent attackers.

I caught 3 shinykarp, with fair to poor IV's. They stay in gyms - all maxed out - but just for fun. They seem to encourage rivals to attack and send them home with coins ;)

I've powered up 3 impressive to 3k. Got one more ready when event over. 7 unevolved shines here. Looking for #12, and the first wonder.

I'm assuming you already have a few Gyarados and have plenty of fast TMs. Use a fast TM on this and throw it in a gym to show off. You can power up later if you decide you need it. You aren't going to put Gyarados in a gym that you want to hold for a long time (such as before a raid), so it isn't too important to power up.

Defence stat matters little.
