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.

your 28 cp dragonite....it will cost an extra 30-40k stardust just to get it STARTED. then another 40k to max it out for your level. stardust is more important than almost anything, i'd probably keep it as a pity-me-trophy, and never use it. any dratini you find in the while is going to be better. until you have 6 maxed out stardusted poke's, there's no point pumping stardust into high IV low CP pokemon. you can either find 1000 random pokemon for the stardust, or like 10-20 other dratinis and upgrade one of those. moveset is worth anywhere from 10-40% of a pokemon's CP in my opinion, and they're both >>>>> IV's at this point in the game. a 1500 lick snorlax is going to wreck a 2k zen headbutt snorlax defending. but that also has a lot to do with how bad the gym defense balance in this game is.

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:

Dragon breath or steel wing? One advantage of catching fully evolved pokemon is that their moveset won't change after you start to invest in them.

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.

Fuck me. Porygon spawns and I miss the first 3rd of the timer. I sprint as fast as I can to the mall near me and get security to unlock the door (employee benefits!) and by the time I get to what is liklely meters of where it would be it despawns

Defense really needs to be rebalanced with it being so easy for a new player to get into range of being able to take down a gym from even the most hardcore grinders. I dont even bother to leave a real defender anymore generally just throw down an extra rattata or magikarp after taking a gym because even my 2.5kers get taken out in no time and replaced with 1200 vaporeons.

Sure, I get that, but I'd like to find a pokemon I can level up to a decent CP. 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?

Lucky eggs and incubators for my pokecoins That's about it, really. Everything else I can get by grinding out pokestops.

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.
