Which Magikarp would YOU evolve?

I've already made a decision, I'm just curious what other people do considering that the Gyarados' moveset can make it not worth powering up. Think of this as a survey I guess.

1: 168CP, 60% IV
2: 143CP, 89% IV
3: 125CP, 100% IV

EDIT: I got Twister -_-

3 for sure. 1's IV is too low for such a huge 400 candy investment for evolution. The CP difference between 2 and 3 isn't huge so would rather higher IV, esp kuz it's perfect.

Why is this evenough a question? The 100% for sure. The extra candy to power up is miniscule compared to the candy to evolve.

Why wouldn't you take the shot with 100%

Easily #3. And hey, if you get a moveset other than "that which should not be named," at least Magikarp is a 1 km buddy, so it won't be too difficult to get the candies to power it up.

lmao this guy has a 100 IV karp and is asking if he should evolve that one...

Either a troll or a humblebrag post.

Send that 100IV karp to the professor or just keep it and look at it everyday without evolving it.

100% will evolve to 1874 CP - potentially useful as a prestiger/attacker if gets good moveset... If a "less ideal" moveset then collect more candy to max him out and consign him to permanent gym duty!

I'd say the question is to evolve the 100% one now or wait and hope that Gyarados gains a better fast move and then evolve.

Obviously you are going to evolve and power up the 100%. If it were me, I'd wait a bit while walking for candies to see if Gary gets some new moves. I'm sitting on 800 candies for this reason (although I do not have a 100%!).

Should change this section to Humble brag & Answer

In my opinion, individuals that are commenting that the original poster is bragging aren't seeing this question the way I am...the original poster is gauging the popular vote to see who would favor evolving a high CP vs high IV magikarp --> gyarados, a pokemon that can either work as a prestiger or be maxed out to defend gyms.

Yes, it does seem like this question is a no-brainer to some, but to others (such as my self) this is a valid question. IV's don't matter for prestigers, unlike mons that will be maxed out as defenders.

My one and only Gyarados was evolved before the CP rebalance, and I had a similar dilemmae between a lvl 28 with 67% IVs and a lvl 20 with 93% IVs. Back then I chose to evolve the 67% because Gyarados was a bit lackluster and not really a pokemon I pictured myself spending too much stardust on.

Right now, the picture is completely different and I'd definately go with the 93%. It's still sitting in my inventory together with 400 candy, waiting for one with even higher IVs or a bit higher level.

I hatched a 100% magikarp too. Only need 300 more candy to get twister.
