Perfect IV's...Worst movesets

I've managed to catch/hatch at least 6 Pokemon with Perfect IV's, but when I evolved them...they all ended up with the worst possible movesets. I'm beginning to think that Niantic is purposely doing this so that one day they'll be able to sell items to enable us to REROLL moves. (And who wouldn't want to REROLL moves on Pokemon with perfect IV's with bad movesets?) Then again, maybe it's just my bad luck. What are you're thoughts and experiences with evolving your Pokemon with perfect IV's?

Just bad luck!
I have been very lucky myself. out of nine 100% mons, six got "best move sets", two so-so and one the worst one.
When that is said my Blastoise got the worst, while my Dugtrio was one of the good ones :-)

Grats :). Well, here's hoping for future rerolls for the rest of us then.

Sometimes, it has worked really well. I evolved a perfect Rhyhorn into a perfect Rhydon with MS/SE, for example. Other times, I have candied my evolution of a perfect something, because I was displeased with the resulting move set.

I would never candy a 100% mon, they like very rare burt sometimes pretyy useless trophies :-I

Well why stop there? Why not just reroll IVs as well. It's called RNG for a reason. You were fortunate enough to have 6 100IV Pokémon in the first place.

Reroll of move sets will be the last nail in the coffin but I'm sure it's not out of question for Niantic with their past history of bad decisions

If it cost 50 candy to re-roll with no guarantee you wouldn't get the same (or worse) moveset it probably wouldn't be too bad.

If someday (maybe 1 year or 2 from now) they made an item to reroll moves it will be when there are at least 3 gens out so it does not impact too much on the game and it will be for sure an item bought from the store, never candies, dust or other things you can get daily without paying, and my guess is that it could be like a 1.5-2k coins item.

I agree it's too early to add re-rolls to the game, but I don't like the idea of just being able to buy re-rolls. I think it needs to involve significant effort - either catching or maybe walking an item instead of a buddy?

I've fallen on both sides with this. It sucks went it doesn't go your way, but in a way it also keeps me grinding towards getting it right.

I totally agree with you, but when you get 3/4 Dragonites with steel wing and you really want that best attacking moveset it hurts a lot being Dratini so rare...Even if it is a Magikarp or any other mon that you need a lot of candies it keeps me going, the exception is Dratini, I just got tired of not getting 2 dragon moves and now I just save candy to probably try it again in...4 months?

I feel your pain on this one too my friend. I also have not been able to evolve the top attacking moveset for Dragonite. What's worse is that now it's tougher to catch a higher IV Dratini since the bug was fixed.

Hang in there! Good luck on your next try.

There's perhaps a few factors involved. For example, I've evolved 4 Gyarados, and one had twister as a charge attack, and I transferred it. I have 7 Snorlax (2 hatched, 5 caught), of which 2 have great or good IVs, 4 have sound IVs, and one has poor IVs. But I'm not candying any of those. Where I live even a poor Snorlax is a great gym placeholder, particularly as some gyms tend to churn relatively quickly. I have three Dragonite. Hardly ideal, but while one has steel wing and hyperbeam it's found its way to near the top of a 10 level gym where the bottom mon is 2700 cp, and the very top is a 3400 Dragonite. With some luck it can do it's job and inflict the serious damage to gym attackers it's capable of. I guess for me that there's some tension about being somewhat obsessive about perfect mons, yet playing with the hand I've been dealt, as it were. I have a great Rhydon, which I'd like to have stone edge, but it's earthquake move is pretty awesome. On a purely anecdotal level, my vague feeling is that the higher your trainer level the better the chance of a good or great evolution moveset "may" be, but like a lot of things I could be quite wrong about that. I understand the Dragonite issue though. My favorite mon is a maxed out cp Dragonite with Dragon breath and dragon claw. It lacks perfect IV's, but it feels fast and effective, capable of taking out three or four fair sized gym defenders quickly and opening the gate for the rest of the attack set to do their thing. I have a Jolteon, great IVs, but with Thundershock shock and discharge. Obviously not the greatest moveset, but I feel it's effective because it gets off lots of charge attacks and therefore perhaps defeating gym defenders while they wind up for their one big charge attack. This is now of course. PoGo is still relatively young, so some of the comments about REROLLs, at some sort of cost, is interesting. The landscape will be quite different perhaps in 6 or 12 months with many trainers reaching the mid to high 30s, and the possibility of some gyms being dominated by very high cp mons only teams could tackle. No real answers sorry, just taking the very sound base stats and wrapping them up in a heap of personal subjectivity.
