Stargazer2600 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) So sometimes we all catch that one pokemon that we never see again and later we see its evolved form at a WAY higher CP. For example i caught a seel with a 20 cp and today got a dewgong at 589 cp. its obvious which one you would keep. However, sometimes its not that obvious. I have a Oddish i been giving candy to from time to time. its now at 214 but i also caught a gloom at 250. I caught a weedle at 90 but then caught a beedrill at 210. Raising your own costs alot of candy and stardust but i dont want to invest in a pokemon to evolve it to find it came out the same as what i caught or even weaker...Whats the line on when to keep the evolved wild form vs raising your own? im not sure what to keep and what to transfer. any tips and advice?

Happy Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 You'll keep finding more and more powerful Pokemon the more you play the game, so investing any candy or stardust into any of your lower level mons is a waste. Wait until you find a really powerful one in the wild, then invest in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEMON Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I find evolved Pokemon you find in an encounter is weaker than one you trained yourself. Also don't waste candy/stardust on Pokemon that aren't already 1000CP+, it's not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty1027 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) If you want to maximize the quality of your Pokemon, you'll need to pay attention to its IVs and moveset. If you find the first evolution of a particular Pokemon with low CP, but it has perfect IVs and an optimal moveset, it's better to keep that than a wild fully-evolved Pokemon with high CP with terrible IVs and bad moves. This is expensive, but in the end you'll have a Pokemon that's in the top percentage of Pokemon. Optimal movesets you can find on Google. As for a IV calculator, use the following calculator: https://pokeassistant.com/main/ivcalculator However, if you're like me and don't really care for IVs and movesets, just use a calculator that will tell you how much CP your Pokemon will have once it fully evolves. If it exceeds that of a fully-evolved Pokemon you found in the wild, just keep the first evolution. A calculator for that purpose can be found here: http://pogotoolkit.com/ However, do not evolve the Pokemon until you have enough candies to fully evolve the Pokemon, because you might level up and get even stronger versions of the same Pokemon.

KashSenpai Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 i have the same question to ask lol So sometimes we all catch that one pokemon that we never see again and later we see its evolved form at a WAY higher CP. For example i caught a seel with a 20 cp and today got a dewgong at 589 cp. its obvious which one you would keep. However, sometimes its not that obvious.

Wait until you find a really powerful one in the wild, then invest in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
