Is it better to evolve a 3 star Pokémon or a higher CP Pokémon?

It doesn't really matter what you do first as in the end it will cost the same amount of stardust and candy to power up and evolve. Sometimes I max out a pokemon before evolving them, because I'm curious to see what its max cp is at all stages. Was this worth your time? This helps us sort answers on the page.

Does CP or IV matter more?

In Pokémon GO, CP stands for "Combat Power" and is entirely separate from the Pokémon's Hit Points (HP).

As a Pokémon loses motivation, its CP will temporarily decrease, making it weaker in battle.

Should I max out CP before 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.

Should I keep 2 star Pokémon in Pokémon Go?

A lot of your shiny Pokemon won't be 3-stars. So if you want to hang on to a shiny, don't delete them. Some are rare, and your best stuff might be 2-stars. For instance, if you only did 2 Palkia raids, and both were 2-stars, you probably don't want to delete them.
