Each Pokémon in Pokémon Go has a set of Base Stats for Attack, Defense, and Stamina, along with a hidden Level and a hidden modifier for those Base Stats, known as a Pokémon's IVs.
Unlike the base stats of Attack, Defense and Stamina that are for every pokemon by species or in other words every Blastoise has an Attack stat of 186, IVs are unique to each Pokemon you catch. You could have 20 different Blastoise's and each would have their own unique IV set.
Via these IV's there is such a thing as a ‘perfect’ Pokemon that is as powerful as it can be individually when compared to others of it's exact kind, but it’s an extremely uncommon thing to find.
The best or 100% perfect is a 15/15/15 which means it has 15/15 attack, 15/15 defense, and 15/15 stamina IV's.
That being said even getting a 90% or above is good. The difference in CP and HP from a 93% to a 100% is very minimal. So if you find a 15/13/14 don't think it's not good enough because it's not perfect.
Anything 80% and above can be considered good enough for gym battles IMO. Good enough to spend dust/candy on.
Keep in mind though that it's generally advisable to evolve your (high-IV) Pokémon before you start spending Stardust to Power Up and increase its Level.
Since you don't know moves until you evolve you should NEVER power up until you've evolved all the way your going to and make sure you got one with the right moves before dumping dust into it.
And moves matter more than IV's when it comes to damage potential.
Each time a Pokémon evolves it's IV's will stay the same but it's moveset is randomized.
So you might end up with that genetically perfect Dragonite, only for it to have a rubbish set of moves that spoil all your hard work finding it.
Hope this helps you and others understand better to make better choices.
