Which Shadow Ball Mewtwo to Power Up?

Question is in the name. I’ve already got two shadow ball powered up (91% 15A to lvl 35 and an 80% 11A to lvl 30...lame I know but the second guy was from the first round of beta EX-raids and has served me well). These are my two top options:
- lvl 25 (CP 2785), 82%, 13A/14D/10S
- lvl 20 (CP 2239), 87%, 14A/11D/14S

I’m leaving towards the 82% because I think the saved candies +3D is more valuable than +1A and +4S.

Thoughts?

Personally I would do the 87%. Higher attack, higher HP, and lower defense for helping charge up Shadow Ball. With what’s coming in Gen IV and the time we have Mewtwo now, you may want to charge both up.

Do the 87% iv, it might take a bit of time to power up ( well, there's always rare candies from raids ) but the extra 3 attack iv is really good for mewtwo. Gonna be a beast in Mewtwo Boss raids itself, SB OP!

If it were 3 attack higher it would be a no-brained, but it’s only 1 (and not weather boosted). But I think I’ll hit the 87% to at least 30. Thanks guys!

If you intend to max it, do the 87%. Otherwise if you need the RCs/stardust for something else, you could do the 82% but you won't actually save that much.

The reasoning is that the penalty of 1 attack IV can be compensated by one or two power-ups to avoid missing a breakpoint. You could power it up from lvl 35 to 36 for the cost of 16000 stardust and 20 candy. This is less than the 31000 stardust and 28 candy required to power up the other one from lvl 20 to 25, but really not by much...

Yep that also makes sense. His high breakpoints aren’t as much of a concern, but I did go with the 87%. Thanks!
