Should you evolve first, or power up first? Evolve first, power up second. It's tempting to power up first, because instant gratification is instant, but it'll cost you less Stardust in the long run to evolve and the strategically power up only your best or favorite Pokémon.
2 Answers. A Pokemon that isnt evolved is always weaker then a Pokemon that is. Stats are much lower meaning that an evolved Pokemon is always more powerful.
One benefit of delaying evolution is that unevolved Pokémon often learn powerful attacks earlier than their subsequent evolutions. Some evolved Pokémon also lose the ability to learn certain attacks. See our Pokédex for information on the Levels at which Pokémon learn their attacks.
2 Answers. No, waiting to evolve will not effect the stats in the long run.
Grookey evolves into Thwackey at Level 16, which will then evolve into Rillaboom at Level 35. Each one knows the ability, Overgrow. This ability powers up grass-type moves when the Pokémon using them has a low HP.
Surge, he says that if he evolves his pokemon just so they can become stronger, he's no better than Surge, so he lets them evolve whenever they evolve. Unless a pokemon evolves through something specific, such as a stone, ash can't control when they evolve.
Accepted Answer. No, each Pokemon has a certain growth rate (Fast, medium, Slow) and every form across it evolutionary path shares it. The only reason you would not evolve a pokemon is so that it learns moves faster.
You should never max out the base pokemon's CP. It could evolve and get bad moves and then you've wasted all the candies maxing it's CP and all the candies on the evolve. The creature's max CP potential remains the same and is solely dependent on the pokemon breed and your personal trainer level.
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.
Don't power up your eevee before evolving in case you get a bad move set. Check out your eevee after evolving, and then if it's good power it up. :) You'll be fine battling those gyms even if your vaporeon is a bit lower.
Shadow Pokémon are now the glass cannons of Pokémon GO. Earlier, there was no reason why trainers wouldn't want to purify Shadow Pokémon — purifying a Shadow Pokémon boosted CP to Level 25, get a +2 buff to all IVs, and decreased Candy / Stardust costs. It might actually be worth keeping a Shadow Pokémon now.
WeeSingInSillyville notes that the Vulpix found in Route 3 range from about levels 9-12. You can evolve one as soon as you have the Fire Stone, so you can rock a level 10 Ninetails. But there's more. You can give it its strongest moves right away.
There is zero benefit to powering up a Pokemon before the evolution, as their CP is simply taken off their BASE stats. Thus, the best option is to just collect Magikarp until you have 400 candy and select the best option at that time.
Some Pokémon are worth investing dust to power them all the way others are not worth investing at all. Mind you, just because you do not invest stardust to power up a Pokémon does not diminish its value to your collection. Sure, you may not use the lower CP Pokémon in raids does not mean you can't enjoy them.
