Can Pokemon go down CP after evolving?

It doesn't really matter unless you care about PVP. Cp is determined by base stats of a pokemon, the pokémon's level, and its ivs. Because evolving a pokemon only changes the base stats not the level or ivs, it doesn't matter if you power up a pokemon before evolving or after the cp it gets to won't change.

Why did my Pokemon's CP go down when I evolved it?
