Scyther question

I was farming Scythers at a small nest. All the Scythers I caught were high level but low IV.

This is the best one I caught there were better IV ones but with low attack IV. Attack IV is very important for low base power moves like Scizor's Fury Cutter.
IVs are ADS
CP 1547 IV67 (15/07/08)
I'm not OCD about overall IVs, I'm only OCD about attack IV.
Should I evolve this one and use TMs if necessary?

No, it's not worth it.

I evolved it and got BP/XS. Easy fix with a fast TM.
Should I power it up after using the TM?

If you have resources and if that's what you really want - you can power him up. However - I would advise against it.

I powered up mine to the 30 level and that was somewhat unnecessary since from that moment I got three good Tyranitars and Houndoom. I see Scizor as optional filler for Mewtwo and that's about it.

I'm not a min-maxer. I might consider powering the Scizor up to L30 (maybe the L31.5 Mewtwo breakpoint) because I don't currently have a good bug attacker.
But I have other priorities like my B/Cr Tyranitar.

You could always consider Bug Bite/X-Scissor Pinsir if you have one. In my opinion he is way underrated.

I don't have one with good enough IVs. I would have powered one up if I had one with very high IVs.

Scizor really shines at exeggator raids. Against other psychics,he is good, but there are better options. However, when I got some "extra" dust I powered mine up. He's fun, and not a bad mon.

I have an almost identical Scizor (15/7/9) caught at a higher level. I brought it up to level 31.5 to hit a breakpoint against Mewtwo. I also only have 3 powered up Tyranitars. He's pretty awesome against Exeggutor and with a bit more practice I expect I can 1 v. 1 solo Exeggutor with my Scizor. Otherwise, he still has a strong role against alakazam and mewtwo. I would consider maxing him of his ivs we're higher.
