I just evolved 98% Dewgong with Ice Shard/Blizzard at CP1403 (LV 26).
I am torn between leaving as it is and using as a prestiger, but CP is too high for most of the gyms.
Or powering it up to LV 30 when it would reach 1624 CP. Is it any good with relatively low CP? With good moveset and powered up it would also be a trophy.
Thank you for the input.
Although I think FB would be a better prestige move, IS is fine. That being said, 1403 is a decent CP for prestiging. Just think, 2x 1403 = 2806. A lot of dragonites are 2800+, so it is in the vicinity of the exact CP you really need.
Most prestigers' CP I use are between 1000 and 1500 since the meta is generally 2500-3000.
It's not an imitation Lapras, it's more like a 1/2 sized Lapras which makes it perfect for prestiging.
Plus, I don't know about you, but I'm not exactly tripping over Lapras, to the point where I'm building an army at various CP ranges to prestige with.
Dewgong fills a very important need in the game. Don't sell him short, yo!
It depends on what other dragonite counters you have. If he is your only ice type with FB-IS/Bliz, then power away. 1624 would work for all but the highest dragonites.
If you have a Lapras/Cloister/Jinx with with a double ice move set, think in terms of CP coverage. Ideal prestiging range is 1.5 to 2 times the attacker's CP. Between all your ice types, you want to cover as much of the 1500-3500 range as possible so that you can always prestige a dragonite. As is, your Dewgong covers 2100-2800.
