What gen IV evolutions to Prep for?
I've gotten most of the pokemon that got evolutions in gen IV, many with good iv's and am wondering which one would be the best to prioritize
>Roselia, got a max iv one, but 400 candy
>Murkrow, same story as Roselia
>Swinub, got many good iv ones from hatches/catches, but am predicting raid boss return, plus have 300ish candy
>Togepi, have 2 really strong ones, current buddy, but not much candy for them (just broke 100 yesterday with the hatch of the second good one)
>Magmar/Electabuzz/Magnaton, have decentish IV ones of them, and very little candy
>Ralts, have 2 or 3 good ones, but gardevoir's better than gallade
>Eevee, we're anticipating the event's going to give us these evolutions and no definitive way of getting the ones I want en mass
Those are all the pre-evolutions of the ones I have a feeling will be good, which ones should I prioritize? I focus raids, gym defense/offense isnt important as my team (instinct) is the dominant one n the area

Really? Missing Bulbasaur CD would be an explanation for not having a FP Venusaur but what about Exeggutor (both forms)? You've been posting here for quite a while so you're no beginner and you surely don't strike me as someone who would not see the value of the Alolan Exeggutor event to bring a grass team which would be decent at least. So what do you feel you're missing?
Or is it just that you feel grass types are not as well served as other types?
As it stands, the only reason to pull out a grass type over electric or water is if whatever you're fighting is doubly weak to grass. Water handles rock and ground types better while electric handles water types better. Or of course you have a shortage of the top water or electric fighters.
Either way I'm sure he meant that it would be nice to see a grass type to compete with the top dogs of the other two types. Roserade looks like a neat glass option and Tangrowth may be able to close that gap if it gets the right moves. Sky Shaymin will kick the dick out of most anything across all 3 types, exceptions being the top 2 legendaries of each. Being mythical odds are we'll only get one of them though.
I don't think there's necessarily anything that you can do better with Gen 4 final evos that you can't already do with Gen 1-3 Pokemon
HOWEVER, I want high level versions of all them to help build out 6 unique Pokemon teams for every type.....like adding Magmortar to my fire team or Tangrowth to my grass team, etc
If it gets the right moves it would likely be on par with Raikou, having slightly higher attack and notably less - but still favorable - bulk. Think similar to the relationship Raikou and Zapdos have, but with the added benefit of not being a rare candy sink. Electivire needs Thundershock and Wild Charge for this to happen though.
