One of the most popular questions among Pokémon Go players is when should I Power Up and/or Evolve my Pokémon? The video above does a good job of explaining and summarizing the best time and way to do so.
Here are the two main strategies from this video:
#1. Average Player: Efficient Stardust Usage
- Be patient and save your Candy until you have enough Candy to evolve a Pokémon to it's final form.
- By the time you have enough Candy to Evolve into a Venusaur, you will have found a much stronger Bulbasaur to evolve (as you will be at a higher Trainer Level at this point).
- Wait until around Level 20 before Powering Up your Pokémon. This will result in a much more efficient use of Stardust as it will take less overall Stardust to maximize your Pokémon's CP.
#2. Advanced Player: IV's, Maximizing CP
- Each Pokémon species has the same base hidden stats. However, these stats may be greater based on the Pokémon's Individual Values (IVs).
- Individual Values are completely random and are different for every Pokémon you catch.
- IVs can add up to 1 to 15 Attack stat points, 1 to 15 Defense stat points and 1 to 15 Stamina stat points.
- For example, a Charmeleon will have base stats of Attack: 160, Defense: 140 and Stamina: 116. With Max IV, a Charmeleon would have Attack: 175, Defense: 155 and Stamina: 131. The Stats of all Charmeleon's will fall in the following range:
Attack: 160 - 175
Defense: 140 - 155
Stamina: 116 - 131
- Trainers will want to Evolve/Power Up their Charmeleon with the highest total base stats.
- Use the IV Calculator from Pokeassistant.com to determine the IV of your own individual Pokémon.

Have a perfect Jolteon and perfect starmie ^.^
Evolved a Eevee and got a Flareon with 100% IV and his best moves according to this site
I have 15/15/15 100% Vaporeon :)
I have a 100% Sandshrew :-)
15-14-15 Butterfree, with best moveset. I know it's not perfect, but I'm really proud of it.
How to know if you have 100% 15-15-15?
Thanks for the very good explanation. A question I still have: do the differences in move sets that certain pokemons have also define which one you should evolve?
I have a ponyta of cp 390, but it has Ember and Fire Blast (good); I also have a ponyta of cp 820, with moves Tackle and Flame Wheel (bad). Won't the former ponyta evolve into a rapidash with better moves?
Thanks for your time
got a 86.7% iv draganite with steel wing and dragon claw with 11-13-15 A-D-Hp
95.6% iv guyrados with bite and dragon breath with 15-15-13 A-D-Hp
poliwag with 95.6℅ if 15-A 13-D 15-Hp

I have a Perfect 15-15-15 Dragonite with a move of Steel Wing and Dragon Pulse.. A perfect Gyarados, Golbat, Vaporeon and a 15-14-15 Snorlax...
I live in Hong Kong. I have filled out the pokedex except for the 6 that Niantic hasn't released and Mr Mr. Mime, Tauros and Kangaskhan. I have hatched some 100 5 km eggs and at least 20 10 km but got none of the 3. Is there any way to get the 3 besides hatching eggs. The pokedex said I have seen 1 Tauros and Kangakhan but I'm sure I haven't seen any in the wild.
I caught a 15/15/15 Dratini and evolved to 15/15/15 Dragonair. Also hatched a 15/15/15 Vulpix and evolved to 15/15/15 Ninetales. I have over 500,000 Stardust just trying to harvest the Candy...
Alex Au -- If you saw those creatures in a gym, they will show up in your Pokedex. It happened a few updates ago. I quit going to gyms until I finished mine because I didn't like the seen/caught ratio when I only had 3 left! lol
