What Pokemon are better before evolving?

The higher the level you’re, there are more chances of finding a high CP Pokemon. Once you find a Tier 1 Pokemon around CP 300+, you’re good to evolve it — totally a personal choice. Also for Pokemon with no evolution like Lapras or Jynx, it’s better to hold on for a while before powering them up.

Should you Max CP before evolving?

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.

Is it better to power up Pokemon before evolving?

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.

Should I give my Pokemon a new attack before evolving?

Is there any downside to evolving Pokémon?

There are two disadvantages to evolving a Pokemon though. The first one is pretty minor, and is that a Pokemon takes longer to learn moves in an evolved form (as you noted in your question). The other disadvantage is fairly significant though, and only applies to Pokemon which evolve with an evolution stone.

  Is IV or CP 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.
