When should you not evolve Pokémon?

The only reason you would want to stop your Pokémon from evolving is if it learns a move that its evolution doesn't learn (for example, Growlithe learns Flare Blitz but Arcanine doesn't, so you may not want to use a Fire Stone on it right when you acquire one).

What Pokémon should you delay evolving?

Delaying Buizel's Evolution for several levels would allow it to learn its best moves much earlier than if it had evolved into Floatzel. A Chimchar that levels up without evolving will learn different moves than its evolved form Monferno.

Skarmory is a rare Pokemon from the Johto region, and most trainers never get a chance to battle one, but they are incredibly strong. There's no doubt that Skarmory is one of the best non-evolving Pokemon in the franchise.

Is it better to evolve Pokémon early or later?

Why do people stop evolving?

It has been argued that human evolution has stopped because humans now adapt to their environment via cultural evolution and not biological evolution. However, all organisms adapt to their environment, and humans are no exception.

Are Pokémon weaker if they evolve later?

The evolved form of a Pokemon has better stats than its earlier forms. However, when you evolve your Pokemon their stats are recalculated from level 1. So your fully evolved Pokemon will have the same stats at level 100 regardless of which level you evolve it at.

Should I evolve a low CP Pokémon?

It pays to keep and evolve only the best Pokémon you find. In general, you want higher CP Pokémon to evolve over lower CP Pokémon, but just because a Pokémon has a high CP doesn't mean it's actually very good.

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.

What time is best to evolve Pokémon?

Obviously, dawn and dusk vary not only by time of year, but country as well, but the generally accepted cut-off time is 8am and 8pm. Remember, you'll see a tick next to the sun or moon icon when trying to evolve a Pokémon if the game is satisfied that it is early or late enough.

Is evolving always good?

Evolution does not always lead to more advanced species. Evolution is simply a description of the way change occurs in biological creatures over many generations in order to better exploit a certain environment. Evolution sometimes leads to progress, but it sometimes leads in the opposite direction.

Should I stop magikarp from evolving?

Always take the chance to evolve Magikarp. If Magikarp doesn't evolve, its maximum level will increase by one, making the weak Pokémon just a little less weak. But make no mistake—it's Magikarp, so it'll still be weak.

Is it better to evolve Eevee early or late?

If you evolve Eevee fast, they'll learn better moves quicker. For example, if Jolteon learns a specific electric move at level 30 and you evolve Eevee at level 35, they've missed it. If you plan to load your Eeveelution up with moves specific to their type, then it might be a good idea to evolve as quick as you can.

Should I evolve high IV or high CP?

You can check out our tips for evolving Pokémon in Pokémon Go for more detail, but generally it's advisable to evolve your high-IV Pokémon before you start spending Stardust to Power Up and increase its Level. That's because each time a Pokémon evolves, although its IVs stay the same, its moveset is randomised.

Is it better to evolve high CP or high IV Pokémon?

A higher IV also means better chance of better moves for the evolved pokemon - and those are much more important than a high CP.

What's more important CP or HP?

In Pokémon GO, CP stands for "Combat Power" and is entirely separate from the Pokémon's Hit Points (HP). While the two usually correlate (meaning a higher CP will yield a higher HP), the CP is important if you want to use the Pokémon in battle. A Pokémon with a higher CP will perform better than one with a lower CP.

Is it worth keeping low IV Pokémon?

Absolutely not - for your defenders and enemy gym attacking team, high IVs are much more important. This is where having a high CP is important - the difference between a maxed out Dragonite with 0% IVs and 100% IVs is 3,141 and 3,581 respectively. Save your super-high IV Pokemon for your A-team.

Is CP or IV more important?

As explained by RustyMembers the IV is by far more important than the CP of a Pokemon. But actually equally or sometimes even more important is the Moveset of a Pokemon. A Pokemon with the best moveset dps wise but with lower IV will perform better than a similar one with a different moveset but higher IV %.

Is using rare candy bad?

Rare Candies provide no Stat Exp; Pokémon who are raised using this item will therefore tend to be weaker than those who are trained in battle. If you've used Rare Candies on some of your Pokémon, don't worry.

What is the weakest fully evolved Pokemon?

Is it easier to level up Unevolved Pokémon?

Raising unevolved Pokemon is thus much faster than raising evolved Pokemon, since the EXP curve is more steep as well. The caveat is that if you accidentally forget to evolve your Pokemon, they will not be able to evolve. This applies specifically to those Pokemon which evolve by level up.
