Depends on what IV's it has. If it's like 90+% you're probably fine to just level it up, otherwise just farm more candy and evolve a good one. It's roughly 20k stardust difference, which really isn't that huge.

TLDR: Moveset ~=> CP >>>> IVs Don't upgrade your 28 CP Dragonite, stardust is too valuable. PS: I was bored and made a cumulative stardust cost graph: https://puu.sh/qaoRT/d24225a4e2.png | ||

If it's got dbreath and fair IVs that's potentially better than pushing a perfect IV dratini all the way through and then having it learn the wrong one. STAB is an extra 25% and that's no joke. Either way it's pretty expensive. Probably depends whether dratini candy is more or less valuable to you than stardust. | ||

My highest right now is a 1080 Vaporeon from 4 levels ago... My location is loaded with Weedle and Pidgey which is nice for the lucky egg boost sessions. Eevees are fairly common too so I have two Flareons and Jolteon and a Vaporeon. | ||

That will pretty much never happen. Sorry You can always catch better ones at later levels, so unless you're pretty much done grinding out exp/ levels, it's not really that useful to keep around the lower level Pokemon. | ||

Every gym in my area has people my level with 1800 lapras' so... In fact I don't know if I've ever seen anyone more than two levels higher than me placing 1500+ pokemon to defend. At some point I need an upgrade to the Vaporeon is all I'm saying and I've been waiting 4 levels Believe me I know player level is the most important factor I just want something big and shiny within the last week or two. Mainly so I can reliably take gyms and grind pokecoins. My plan is to buy the 5 lucky eggs, does anyone have a different plan for their pokecoins? | ||

On a side note I had only found 1x10km Egg before but when walking home today I picked up 2 of them, hopefully no more 196cp Mr.Mimes from these. | ||
