Which Abra to evolve?

I'm getting close to being able to evolve another Abra and wasn't sure which I should go with.

My highest CP one has 12/15/15 (A/D/S) and my only one with an attack stat of 15 is also my second lowest in terms of overall IV's with 15/11/13.

Which of these would make a better Alakazam, the one with 93% IV's or the 15 attack stat?

12/15/15. Alakazam doesn't need more attack stat, it needs more bulk, especially stamina.

Even though CP is not really relevant, to put it into perspective how badly Alakazam needs stamina, 15 stamina IV results in a higher CP increase than 15 attack IV, despite the majority of pokemon gaining more from attack IV than any other IV.

It's debatable, say it turns out that boss's breakpoint at least 33ish level; you'll need to power up 12att one to 35-36 to reach similar performance, and it's pricy.

Plot twist.

You evolve an Abra to Alakazam then do a raid and catch one with better IVs then kick yourself for wasting 125 candies.

It just depends on what level each is already at, nobody can afford 100k to juice up an Alakazam

Raid bosses are caught at level 20.
Wild pokemon are at level 20 max.
Evolving a pokemon does not raise their level IIRC.

Did they catch a wild level 20 Abra? I doubt it.

Edit: typo. Meant level 30 for wild Pokémon.

Wild Pokemon level maximu is your trainer level, up to a cap of 30.

I'm not understanding, so I'll attribute it to a simple error--wild pokemon can be caught to level 30--like the times I caught a 775 eevee and a 775 horsea. I catch rhyhorns at 1350, then I evolve. They just aren't worth it any other way
