"Spending 1.6 million stardust and nearly 1500 candies"

#PokemonGO: So at level 34 I had saved up all my stardust aside from a few (~10?) power ups early on. When I broke 2 million dust (ended up with 2,025,265), I decided it was time to power up.Here was the processNote: I forgot to screenshot pre-power-up Exeggutor #1 before powering her up once.POKEMON - MOVE SET - IV% (ATK/DEF/HP) - PRE LVL (CP/HP) - POST LVL(CP/HP) - DUST(k)/CANDYDragonite - Dragon Tail / Outrage - 91% (14/12/15) - 20 (2025/117) - 34 (3240/148) - 123/114Exeggutor - Zen Headbutt / Solar Beam - 98% (14/15/15) - 20 (1660/122) - 34 (2656/154) - 123/114Aerodactyl - Steel Wing / Hyper Beam - 93% (13/14/15) - 20 (1473/104) - 33 (2321/131) - 109/98Gengar - Shadow Claw / Shadow Ball - 80% (11/12/13) - 20 (1451/79) - 33 (2285/99) - 109/98Blissey - Zen Headbutt / Dazzling Gleam - 84% (14/10/14) - 20 (1806/313) - 32 (2799/389) - 97/86Steelix - Iron Tail / Earthquake - 87% (15/12/12) - 20 (1375/96) - 32 (2131/120) - 97/86Snorlax - Zen Headbutt / Hyper Beam - 78% (13/10/12) - 20 (1866/198) - 30 (2800/242) - 75/66Rhydon - Mud Slap / Earthquake - 87% (14/10/15) - 20 (1856/134) - 30 (2785/164) - 75/66Cloyster - Frost Breath / Blizzard - 87% (15/13/11) - 21 (1454/67) - 34 (2216/83) - 118/110Exeggutor - Extrasensory / Psychic - 96% (14/15/14) - 22 (1821/127) - 34 (2649/154) - 112/104Umbreon - Feint Attack / Foul Play - 96% (14/15/14) - 26 (1510/138) - 34 (1858/154) - 84/80Feraligatr - Water Gun / Hydro Pump - 76% (14/5/15) - 27 (2039/128) - 34 (2417/139) - 76/72Gyarados* - Bite / Crunch - 80% (15/6/15) - 28 (2568/144) - 34 (2935/154) - 67/ 64Espeon - Confusion / Psychic - 91% (11/15/15) - 28 (2366/102) - 34 (2704/109) - 67/64Venusaur - Vine Whip / Petal Blizzard - 78% (12/11/12) - 28 (1989/121) - 34 (2273/129) - 67/64Poliwrath - Rock Smash / Dynamic Punch - 71% (14/12/6) - 28 (1884/131) - 34 (2153/140) - 67/64Alakazam - Psycho Cut / Future Sight - 69% (12/10/9) - 28 (2203/84) - 34 (2518/89) - 67/64Typhlosion - Shadow Claw / Fire Blast - 62% (15/5/8) - 29 (2122/117) - 31.5 (2250/121) - 26/22Meganium - Razor Leaf / Solar Beam - 87% (15/14/10) - 30 (1877/124) - 34 (2002/128) - 48/48= 1607k dust (and 1484 total candies)2025265 - 418365 = 1606900 (apparently I caught something during powering up)*- ShinyHere's all 19 on two pagesHere's my top two (CP sorted) pages before, and top three pages afterHere's some that I decided against because they're less useful, and I would have no dust leftover (actually would run out towards the end):Arcanine - Fire Fang / Fire Blast - 87% (12/13/14) - 20 (1589/115) - 34 (2543/145) - 123/114Tauros - Tackle / Earthquake - 93% (15/13/14) - 20 (1410/97) - 34 (2257/123) - 123/114Nidoking - Poison Jab / Sludge Wave - 87% (14/15/10) - 22 (1472/107) - 34 (2141/129) - 112/105Nidoqueen - Poison Jab / Stone Edge - 91% (12/15/14) - 27 (1771/134) - 34 (2099/146) - 76/72= 434k dust + 405 candiesSo, overall I can't be happier finally having some higher CP pokemon, and think I did a decent job of focusing my dust on a mix of usefulness and diversity. But I'd like to know what you guys think:Any of them that you would not have powered up? I already know Aerodactyl will be mentioned, I just think he's cool.Should I have waited for better IVs, or better move sets, on any of them? And/or the future gym rework?Which pokemon would you recommend (based on my post-power-up top 3 images), I try to power up for attackers and defenders? As far as these two:Gen 1 Eevee evolutions: Eevee are common for me so I wasn't worried about powering them up yet, I usually keep 9 of each, and actually just evolved my first 2600+ CP Vaporeon.Machamp: I currently have two Machamps (BP/CC & C/HS) and a Machop nest nearby (190 candies right now), so I'm praying for a good moveset, after this nest migration.Any other comments/feedback. What level did you wait until spending a lot of stardust? Who do you think is/are the most valuable pokemon to power up?Edit: Minor text and format fixes via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/2rd7Zfj
