Worth evolving this Dragonite?

Hey guys, I'm level 32 and I've been playing on and off casually,. I hatched my first Dratini from a 10km egg a few months back and I was wondering if it's worth evolving to Dragonite. Should I just wait for Dragonite raids to come instead?

Here are the stats:

Dragonair
CP: 887
HP: 78
Stardust: 2500
Appraisal: Overall, your [Pokémon] is a strong Pokémon. You should be proud!
Its ATK is its strongest feature.
I'm blown away by its stats. WOW!

IVs:
15 11 9 78%
15 10 10 78%

Personally, I'd wait, but I'm a bit of an IV-obsessive (86.7% and over usually!). Pretty sure it'll be a raid boss soon so evolving now might be a waste of candy.

walk in 20 candies. You might get a better dratini

Wait for dragonite to become a raid boss or for a higher IV dratini.

I think in your situation I would evolve it. It's IVs are a little low. Also, I agree with the above comments that Dragonites will become raid bosses. And probably there will be higher IV ones out there if u are in a situation to complete level 4 raids.

Its a tough call but here are my reasons why I would:
1.). Moveset. This could be rebalanced with the next update or two and DT/O isn't possible​ anymore it's probably gone for good. (Candies are hard to get but not impossible and easier with the introduction of rare candies) I just missed a shot at DB cause I figured things wouldn't change so suddenly. With TM's u can always just save it if it gets bad moves and use a TM later
2.). As has been said before any Dragonite is better than most other attackers. It's a little bit different in the current meta with raid bosses but Dragonite shows up as a counter to some of the current bosses.
3.). Attack IV....most important for raid bosses. This one has the max

Thanks for the detailed reply. Those are very good points. I'm actually lacking attackers. My main ones are Snorlax, Gyarados, 2 Vaporeon, and 3 Exeggutors.

It's probably best to wait, but who knows how long it will be. I'll decide in a few days when I finish gathering all my candy.

Thanks!
