Yet another Eevee evolve question

It is currently at 705 CP, with 15 ATK IV, 5 DEF IV and 10 STA IV. It is 67%. I have been looking for another good Eevee to evolve to Espeon. However, with only 5 defense and 10 stamina, I'm not sure if it worths, or should I evolve it to Umbreon?

Yes, evolve into Espeon.

Totally agree. I evolved two low IV L30 Eevees to Espeon and they wreck machamp.

IV's mostly matter when you want to invest heavy stardust into a mon. These are stardust free L30 Espeons - what's not to like? And it even has 15 attack. My low IV Eevees are far worse - we're talking something like 30% IV or so.

lol

At most of the time, I transfer almostly everything below 50% IV. It is like that I transferred my only Dragonite, it was 18% IV.

Don't transfer Machops, Eeves, Geodudes, Gastlys, Rhyhorns and Abras level 28-30. Just evolve them and see if moveset is good. They will do wonder without consuming almost any stardust. I've got at lvl 30.5 Dnite DT/Or caught at lvl 29 with attack IV 0. He's doing just fine, you can't tell the difference when raiding (even if there is some...)

Looks like level 27/28. I caught a CP 730, 15 attack, level 27 Eevee, a few weeks ago, which I evolved to Espeon with ZH/FS.
Upon appraising the Eevee and knowing he is a wonder and 15 attack, I buddied him immediately, without even checking his exact IVs

Hey Blue, it's alright to evolve for Espeon, attack is suited for Espeon. About Umbreon, wait for smiliar scenario with Defense IV15.

No. In fact, the IV stat that is "suited" best for a Pokemon should be the stat whose base stat is lowest for that Pokemon, not highest.
IVs are added onto the Pokemon's base stats.

Not a good option to my mind. It's easy to get a much better Eevee in terms of IVs, don't pay attention to its level.

The obvious answer is to evolve to espeon. However, with mewtwo on the horizon umbreon may be of use to you if you are lacking in counters for him. That would be the only reason to consider an umbreon currently.

Umbreon is not a Mewtwo counter. Even with SE damage he will do worse than a snorlax.
