Yet another "power up or keep for PvP" question - Metagross edition

So I have 4 MM Metagross and I know how useful they're so I want to Max out at least one, maybe two (not enough candy for all, though). Now, the one with the highest IV (93% 15/12/15 ADS) is also the only one below the 2500 CP cap for ultra (lvl 23 2476 CP); the others are: lvl 26 2631 15/12/6, lvl 24 2565 14/15/11, lvl 24 2543 14/11/11.
Question is: do you think it would be better to keep the 93% one for PvP and power up two of the others, or power up that one and forget about Metagross for ultra?

That’s your only MM Metagross that is CP1500-2500? Keep it as it is. However, remember to buy Earthquake for it. That is very important, because Heatran can easily destroy it with Fire attacks. Watch out for Charizard too.

Don’t forget Moltres. I recommend Rock types alongside that Metagross. IVs make very very little difference, those 4 Metagross perform almost exactly same at same level, so save the 93 Metagross.

Also note that IVs aren't that important for PvP. In fact, if one wanted to use Gengar for PvP, the best IVs would be 0 attack, 15 defense and stamina. Raise it a few levels, it has better defense and attack than a perfect (at the same CP cap), and still has plenty of attack.

I view PvP as giving meaning to some pokemon that don't have top IVs. Top IVs are only important in the Master League, where you want every shred of CP, DPS and TDO you can get.

True.
My current strategy is to get luckies so that i'm spending less on powering up. Yesterday however I had the best RNG my entire career playing this game. back to back 100 luckies like what???
