Lol just had to share this story: Level 25 friend transferred 4 DB/DC and 3 ZH/BS during double candy event ./).-

A very very casual player who knows nothing about movesets and could care less about gyms. He however has several Pokestops near his apartment and it apparently use to spawn Dragonite about 1x a month and he caught 6 (or so his Pokedex says). 4 of those 6 were DB/DC and were around 1k (typical catches for under level 30 players I assume) go figure. He also has great luck w/ Snorlax and has seen 7 caught 4. Again he didn't care about the low level Lax so he transferred them for space. He apparently valued his starter Pokemon and their evolutions way more than Dragonite and Snorlax! Just wonder how many of these stories there are out there w/ wasted Pokemon sent back to Niantic. Lol go figure rookie luck.

i transferred my second snorlax due to poor iv's as i had caught 2 in the first month of play and figured alright they are rare but i want a good one. hatched a 80% lick/bs one week later discarded my first one didn't see another snorlax for 6 months. should have kept at least one if for no other reason then to buddy the bad one for candies while the good ones do gym time.

I don't even have a snorlax or a dragonite... Hell I've got 6 more kanto to go 4 of them I can get rn except nite and lax. What's more ridiculous is that I don't have a sandslash at lv 30 :|

I had reached level 33 and still no Aerodactyl. One once spawned in a park just 5 minutes after I had left. Two weeks ago finally one hatched from an egg to complete my Gen1-Dex. And just a week later a second one hatched...

I've done the same for both nite's and lax's.
They were all under 500cp and under average IV's
What would you have done with them?
Walk and upgrade a bad IV mon?
Help me out here please lol

In the case of Dragonite and Snorlax, IVs don't matter - it's all about the moveset. If I had a DB/DC Dragonite or ZH/BS Snorlax I'd power them up even if their IVs were 40%. (And actually, even the moveset on a Snorlax doesn't matter that much - any level 30+ Snorlax is an above-average defender.)

I have 4 that I most likely will never upgrade due to them having lick.
I don't think any IV mon should be upgraded, I have one lax that is upgraded with average iv but it has zen.
Bringing a lax or nite from 500cp that doesn't have good IV is imo very stupid, as it will take you forever to gather all the necessary candies to bring it a cp that is relevant.

But if you have the candy to power it up and you haven't found another one by the time you've walked like 500 km, it's still worth powering. Having candies in your inventory doesn't help you collect coins. Snorlaxes are rare enough that you can't predict that when you'll get your next one.

I have one at 29xx.
They're special, but not worth the walk unless you have a high IV one with good MS. Lick doesn't do it for me.
It's not worth the walk if it has bad IV's.
That is just my opinion.
