What IV/stats are most important for Dragonite?

Howdy. Got a quick question for any Dragonite experts out there

Got 2 quite decent IV Dratinis I am planning to evolve. And basically just wondering what IVs are considered most valuable on Dragonite?

Is his attk IV being highest most important to most benifit his good already attack stat?

Or are high defence and stamina IVs better to improve his naturally weaker stats as much as possible?.

Now normaly, i would obviously say the higher IV option is better no doubt and evolve that one.

But in this case im just making sure the slightly lower IV one with slightly different IV dispersion across the 3 stats isnt maybe technically better.

Here are my two anyway:

89% - 11/15/14

87% - 12/14/13

Cheers,

Stamina -> Attack -> Defense

That order.

between two roughly equal IV% mons, I will always side with the higher Attack IV, given how max CP is calculated.

They are pretty close either way. I would go with whichever one is a higher level and save the other for later. If they are within a couple levels of each other, then go for the 89% total.

Hatched them both this week.

So lvl 20 each.

Gonna do the 89% one most likely once we know if this 'save your candies' thing was worth the wait or not.

Who knows maybe I will hatch another with betters IVs before then/Easter or whenever it may be.

Is your 87% IV at level 20 slightly higher CP than the 89% IV? Sometimes that happens. If so, then I would evolve the 87% IV. If the CPs are identical then I would do a mock evolve and power up on an app like Pokegenie if you have iOS up to level 30 and see which Dragonite gets the higher CP.

There isn't much difference.

The 89 will have 3018CP at lvl 30
The 87 will have 3015CP at lvl 30

At lvl 40 the difference will be 4 CP... almost nothing.

I'd evolve the 87 myself.

If their CP is close I'd go with the 89 since it's more perfect.. even if it might have lower CP. But that's just my preference - I like to have as perfect of Mons as I can. In regards to the person who listed stamina first, in the current meta game attack should always be your first priority. It has a much heavier impact on your CP than stamina or defense.
