Blizzard Slowking or Avalanche Jynx?
I have a Slowking with Confusion/Blizzard and a Confusion/Avalanche Jynx. Jynx is 77% IV, Slowking is 93%. Which should I use? or are either Worth using?
Answers
completely disagree with other answer, they are BOTH worth using.
Jynx has the 27th highest attack stat in the game. She is very common here, I've caught/hatched 217, my best is 98 iv with Frost Breath/Avalanche, I've powered her up to level 30 and she destroys anything weak to ice. Confusion/Avalanche is totally usable, in the model that is doing an average of 13.2 DPS at level 30 and will dish 270 total damage. There are VERY few Pokemon who break the 13 DPS mark. She is just like using Alakazam or Gengar, a glass cannon but very usable in the right spot. Great vs Dragonite, excellent against Zapdos and Venusaur.
Slowking with Confusion/Blizzard is fantastic on defense, I have a couple of those myself, including a 100 iv I've cranked up to level 36. Will still do lots of damage attacking because he's tanky, but 10 DPS makes it a slower go. He's only 90th in attack stat, but 56 on D and 32nd stamina means he lasts.
Anyway, look for chances to use both against Dragonite, Jynx good for dealing quick damage but know she won't last long, Slowking better for gym D.
Use for what? For gyms both will be fine, I don't see a use for them in raids.

How is that completely disagreeing? Both saying that they would both work well against gyms.
There are no raid bosses right now that they would be exceptional against. Maybe against Lugia because they would both resist some of Lugia's moves. But you would probably want to use a fast TM on both of them for that because using Confusion against Lugia would be resisted and make it hard to dodge.
These are good, but 2nd tier mon. Power up only as a luxury.
Slowking with Confusion is a solid defender, but that all about it.
Ice Jynx is a fantastic glass cannon. Niche use and fun, but there are other newer choices in-vogue, like Articuno. 77 IV is too low for power up. Good battler when Dragonite becomes a raid boss.
