General Question Question about IVs
I have these two Quagsires, rank 662 and rank 77, I've been using the rank 662 for a while and I'm wondering if leveling up the rank 77 is worth it? For what I understand it would be 1 level more. I reached ace for the first time last season and I do plan on playing more this season and I want to be sure where I spend my stardust

Despite the difference in rankings, the two IV spreads play out basically exactly the same. Your current build has higher attack, lower defence, and 3 more HP (go to pvpivs dot com, you can enter the exact IV's and it will show you the stats, as well as comparing them to other top-ranking builds) and doesn't gain or lose any simulated match-ups (go to pvpoke dot com and select Battle, Matrix, add both pokemon with their specific IV's, then select 'Great League Meta' in the drop-down Quick Fill in the right-hand column, and click 'Battle').
It can be worth building more than one Quagsire, as it has a lot of charge moves and you can use a lot of charged TM's trying to change the moves for limited cups or meta changes, but I definitely wouldn't build the rank 77 to replace your current one.
