What do you think of this Nidorina?
I'm seriously thinking of evolving this to a Nidoqueen.
It was caught wild as CP 356, HP 61, IV 95.6-97.8%
Pros:
*I don't have a Nidoqueen and have never seen one in the wild and odds are wouldn't have as good IV if I ever did catch a wild one.
*I caught his Nidorina wild so saves 25 candy.
*I only catch about one Nidorina a month so unlikely I would find a better one anytime soon.
Cons:
*Would use up 2 months worth of Nidoran(F) candy.
*It's fairly low level (10 i think) so would cost 36,500 dust to bring it up to level 20, equivalent to if it had been evolved from a hatched egg. (Plus the additional candy of which I would only have 57 left over after evolving it)
What do you think?

Actually it's on most sites top defenders lists as a secondary to mid tier defender, so that was what I was thinking. Barring insane luck it doesn't seem I'll be getting a top defender other than a Vaporean anytime soon. But I'm super patient in this game so I have no problem waiting. Thanks for the feedback.
Depends on how much you like nidoqueens and the moveset it gets when you evolve. Looks like you have plenty of dust. Don't expect a super high end mon though.
I wish I could give you Nido candy. They are more common than pidgeys here. It's ridiculous some days. The males sure do look cool, female bra is a little off putting.
I wouldn't evolve it, full stop.
If you want a strong Nidoqueen, you'll do better evolving a higher level Nidoran (stardust and Candy-wise). Judging by the ridiculous amount of stardust you have, you must be level 30 or so. You will eventually find a level 25+ Nidoran which you can evolve much better.
The IV doesn't matter at all. Nidoqueen is not a top tier attacker or defender. I have one with 93% IV that I was powering up, but I regret it now. She doesn't last in gyms at all. She has very limited uses in attacking. Now that I've filled out the team a little bit more (basically, added two Lapras) she's basically useless to me - throw her out against the occasional Snorlax but that's about it.
So then the question is, do you want a strong Nidoqueen or just the Pokedex entry? Either way, you have over 125 candy so there's no reason to evolve this to "save" 25 candy. So I'll assume you want a strong one, encourage you to save the dust and just evolve a higher level one.
