Which to power up?

[ichiDad]

I now have two Snorlax. Here are their current stats:

"Sleepy" Level 26, 6/6/10 IV's, CP 2138 (caught in the wild)
Moves: Zen Headbutt / Body Slam

"Drowsy" Level 20, 10/13/12 IV's, CP 1716 (egg hatch)
Moves: Lick / Earthquake

The problem is that Sleepy has lousy IV's but a good moveset, Drowsy has the opposite. Which one to power up? I can't power up both!

If I power up Sleepy to Level 30, his CP will be 2467. For Drowsy, 2574.

A third option is to power up neither, and wait for a better Snorlax to come along. But they are so rare, it is hard to do that (Seen: 4, Caught: 4). But that might be the best option.

lick/earthquake is C/D. Bad at attacking but even worse at defending.

The other one is B/A with bad IVs.

I would honestly not power them up, because the candy is soooo rare and difficult to get. Dust comes and goes, but 5km for a candy is sick, and getting them in the wild or from an egg is both difficult.

I say neither.

Then again, if your goal is to be a defensive menace, a big Snorlax is better than no Snorlax (and I'd run the Zen Headbutt/Body Slam one without powering up).

I would not, in any current situation, max either of those two out.

Thanks for the advice, for the moment I am sitting on my 38 Snorlax candies. The CP 2139 Snorlax is already an intimidating gym defender, and has earned me probably 5K in stardust. I guess it is foolish to power him up, I will wait for a better Snorlax.

When you get a good snorlax, those candies will rapidly disappear.
