Should I evolve the shiny pink dragon?
Caught a shiny Dratini in a raid on this CD (probably the best part of the CD). The iv is 96%, ADS 151414. Not sure if I should evolve and level it up. I have already got a full squad of Dragonite (although lack of DT/Outrage combination) and personally dislike its green skin (pink dragonair/dratini are way more adorable).
What will you do in my case?

I do have over 800 Dratini candies. The green color of the shiny Dragonite is one main reason I'm hesitating now. And also as a trainer with only 3 CTM, if it gets trash moves like HB or Hurricane (it's not so bad, but I have too many), it will break my heart. If I keep the other shiny as a pink dratini/dragonair I will definitely evolve this one.
you're almost never going to get a better dragonite, unless the maxed one you have are also 96+% and with mewtwo in the raids and with dragon legendaries coming up, plus dragonite just being a great generalist/defender, my oppinion is you cant have too many dragonite (although I personally like the green)
I’ve done it with way less stardust savings for a crappy shiny Charizard because I love the colouring. That is to say that each trainer values different things in the mons we own. I even know trainers that hate the looks of Machamp, so they take gyms down with other mons because of that...
If I don’t like the mon for whichever reason I wouldn’t power it up, but you may find joy fighting with it for how useful it is, up to you.
I think I find a temporary answer to this. I tried my luck and successfully get my second highest Dragonite into DB/Outrage with one CTM. I then maxed it out. This one together with the Draco one could be two good fillers to my M2 team against FB. I will keep this little buddy as what it is now until I got another shiny.
