Atk value and iv for attacker

Hello everyone,
for example,
a. Arcanine, iv 78 15.10.10,
b. Arcanine, iv 89 15.14.11
Same level, same movesets, both atk is 15.
As it is attackers, iv still big matter? Or I can ignore it.
Appreciate.

Generally IV's don't matter much for attackers in general. In your case, there's virtually no difference - the attack damage will be identical since at the same level and both with same attack stat - so maybe 1 HP difference and fractional difference in defending damage which is highly unlikely to make any difference due to the damage formula rounds down (e.g DPS of 6.0 is same as 6.999etc).

Since your Arcanine attackers have the same ATK IV:

You may want to spend less potions with the higher DEF IV one.

You may want to spend less revives with the higher STA IV one.

However, the most important thing is "moveset".

The one with slightly higher defense might be able to miss a few extra dodges than the other. The difference is probably not very noticeable.
