Just another high level, low IV Eevee question

So i got this Eevee with 749 cp, and the IVs are 7/15/7 (att, def, hp), so it's like 64,4%. Should i evolve it into Espeon or something else cause i don't have too many psychic attackers?

Yes. IV is quite overrated, I think you should evolve that Eevee

I like to have good ivs, but since eevees candys arent that hard to find, and only takes 25 to evolve one, definitely worth a try

Totally worth evolving. I have an army of 2000CP+ vaporeons, great to take down gyms and raids. You'll get a 2000CP whatever without investing any dust or candies. Do it.

I always evolve all high-level Eevees I catch, regardless of IVs, so I have an army of 2500ish CP Vaporeons and proportional Flareons and Jolteons, without ever having powered up any of them.

However, I only bother making them Espeons if they're actually good, just because that 10 KM requirement makes them take some actual investment of time. I did turn one Eevee with mediocre IVs into an Espeon, but I never even use it, so now I feel like I shouldn't have bothered.

A wild caught 749 cp Eevee should be somewhere around level 28-30. You can evolve it and power it to level 30 for just 10K-19K stardust. If you are needing a psychic attacker, there are certainly worse and more expensive options that you could do.

Even from IV standpoint of view, only your eevee's stamina might not be that optimum. Espeon has high base attack so yours should be good.

Definitely evolve, no question.

Whether to evolve to Espeon depends on whether you need to assemble a solo Machamp raid team or not. If you do, L30 Espeons are AMAZING against Machamp regardless of IV's. I evolved two low IV Eevees into Espeon and they made all the difference on my Machamp team (granted I was lucky that both got Confusion/Futuresight).
