Jolteon Power up
Hai,
I have 2 jolts with T/TB, one 1609 with 88.9% IVs, the other 1637 with 86.7% IVs. Candy and dust are no problem. Should I just power up both or the one with the better IVs?

I would collect and mass evolve 30+ high CP Eevees and from there you will get several high CP Jolteons, Flareons and Vapes. It will net you a huge bunch of XP with a lucky egg and more importantly it will cost you exactly zero stardust to get your level 28-30 Jolts/Flares/Vapes ... and at this level who cares whether Jolteon has 2100 CP vs 2180 CP?
In short, don't bother with IVs for Eevees and powering up their various evolutions, your stardust is better spent elsewhere. Biggest noobie mistake is to catch a 100% IV level 2 Eevee and power it up to level 30. With that stardust and candy you can get plenty more mileage by playing smart.
No point powering them up - keep them as prestigers. I have two Jolteons at that cp range and they make quick work of Gyaradoses. One possible exception is if you need to tear down opposing gyms regularly and they happen to be filled to the brim with Gyaradoses. But even that it's still not clear cut.
The only eeveelution that may be worth powering up all the way is an almost perfect IVs Vaporeon with a good defensive moveset.
