Which Pokémon should I power up?
I decided to finally evolve Pokémon to get more new evolutions in my pokedex when I stumbled upon some who I'm undecided whether I should power up to use competitively. Their IVs are ~80% which for me personally is acceptable.
Here they are:
Are any of these worth the stardust?

Don't bother with the Gengar or Hypno - you're better off evolving higher cp'd starters. I like Seadra's but they're not really useful for anything but training gyms. The Golduck will make a decent attacker if you've got lots of stardust, but he'll never be as good as Vaperon. The vileplume's moveset doesn't really warrant upgrading, but he's useable as is.

I'd say don't waste stardust on any of these. Two main reasons:
- With the exception of Vileplume (and, some people might say, Golduck), these are all lower tier attackers/defenders. Why invest dust into them when you could power up Dragonite, Lapras, Snorlax, Arcanine, Exeggutor, Vaporeon, etc.?
- The CP on all of these is pretty low - you'll catch much higher level pokemon as you level up as a trainer. Even if you want to use something like a Hypno, why invest dust in a 283 CP mon when you can catch 600-700 CP Drowzees in the wild later, yielding a ~1600-1700 CP Hypno for no stardust at all?
