Calculate Evolution CP

What is a Pokémon GO Evolution Calculator?

A Pokémon GO Evolution Calculator is a tool designed to help trainers estimate the Combat Power (CP) and statistics of a Pokémon *after* it undergoes evolution. In Pokémon GO, evolving a Pokémon significantly changes its stats, particularly its CP, and can also change its moveset. This calculator allows players to predict these changes before committing valuable Candy and Stardust, making strategic decisions about which Pokémon to evolve for battles, raids, or collection. It is a vital tool for any serious Pokémon GO player aiming to optimize their teams.

This tool is particularly useful for players who want to maximize the potential of their Pokémon. By understanding how evolution impacts CP and stats, players can better identify which Pokémon have the highest potential for strength, especially those with high Individual Values (IVs). Common misunderstandings often revolve around the exact multipliers used and how IVs affect the final CP, but a reliable Pokémon GO evolution calculator aims to remove this guesswork.

Pokémon GO Evolution Formula and Explanation

The Combat Power (CP) of a Pokémon in Pokémon GO is calculated using a complex formula that involves its base stats, level, IVs, and evolution multipliers. While the exact internal formula is proprietary and can be subject to slight adjustments by Niantic, the general principles are well-understood by the community.

The core components influencing CP are:

• Base Stats: Each Pokémon species has inherent base Attack, Defense, and Stamina (HP) values.
• Individual Values (IVs): These are hidden stats ranging from 0 to 15 for Attack, Defense, and Stamina, representing a Pokémon's perfection.
• Level: A Pokémon's level contributes to its overall power, with higher levels generally meaning higher CP.
• Level Multiplier: This is a hidden stat that increases with the Pokémon's level and also increases with each evolution stage.

The formula to calculate CP is approximately:

CP = floor( (Base_Atk + IV_Atk) * Level_Multiplier * sqrt(Base_Def + IV_Def) * sqrt(Base_Sta + IV_Sta) * 0.1 )

Where:

• `floor()` means to round down to the nearest whole number.
• `Base_Atk`, `Base_Def`, `Base_Sta` are the Pokémon's inherent stats.
• `IV_Atk`, `IV_Def`, `IV_Sta` are the Individual Values (0-15).
• `Level_Multiplier` is a value that depends on the Pokémon's level and is influenced by evolution. It generally increases significantly with each evolution stage.

Variables Table

Key Variables in Pokémon GO CP Calculation

Variable	Meaning	Unit	Typical Range
CP	Combat Power	Unitless (Score)	10 – 5000+
Base Stats	Inherent Attack, Defense, Stamina of a Pokémon species	Unitless (Points)	Varies by species
IVs	Individual Values (Perfection of stats)	0 – 15	0 to 15 for each stat (Attack, Defense, Stamina)
Level	Pokémon's current training level	Unitless (Levels)	1 – 40 (or 50 with XL Candy)
Level Multiplier	Hidden stat scaling CP based on level and evolution stage	Decimal Value	0.01 – 0.8 (approximate, increases with level/stage)

Practical Examples

Example 1: Evolving a high-IV Charmander

Inputs:

• Pokémon Name: Charmander
• Current CP: 520
• Pokémon Level: 20.5 (Weather Boosted)
• IVs (Atk/Def/Sta): 15 / 14 / 15
• Evolution Stage: Stage 1 (Charmander to Charmeleon)

Calculation: Using the calculator with these inputs, we find the estimated CP for Charmeleon.

Estimated Results:

• Estimated CP After Evolution: 815
• Estimated Level: 20.5
• Base Stats (Atk/Def/Sta): 96 / 91 / 85 (Charmander's base stats)
• Estimated IVs (Atk/Def/Sta): 15 / 14 / 15

This shows that evolving this Charmander will result in a Charmeleon with approximately 815 CP.

Example 2: Evolving a lower-IV Magikarp to Gyarados (Stage 2)

Inputs:

• Pokémon Name: Magikarp
• Current CP: 150
• Pokémon Level: 15
• IVs (Atk/Def/Sta): 5 / 7 / 6
• Evolution Stage: Stage 2 (Magikarp to Gyarados – assuming first stage already happened or it's a 2-stage evo)

Calculation: Inputting these values into the calculator for the second stage of evolution.

Estimated Results:

• Estimated CP After Evolution: 1350
• Estimated Level: 15
• Base Stats (Atk/Def/Sta): 190 / 168 / 182 (Magikarp's base stats)
• Estimated IVs (Atk/Def/Sta): 5 / 7 / 6

This Magikarp, despite its lower IVs, will evolve into a Gyarados with around 1350 CP at level 15. This is useful for understanding the impact of lower IVs on the final evolved form.

How to Use This Pokémon GO Evolution Calculator

1. Enter Pokémon Name: Type the name of the Pokémon you intend to evolve. While not used in the calculation, it helps contextualize the results.
2. Input Current CP: Provide the exact CP of your Pokémon before evolving.
3. Specify Pokémon Level: Enter the current level of your Pokémon. Remember to include the `.5` for weather-boosted levels (e.g., 20.5).
4. Input IVs (Optional): If you know your Pokémon's Individual Values (Attack, Defense, Stamina), enter them (0-15). If unknown, leave these fields blank, and the calculator will assume 0 IVs for estimation.
5. Select Evolution Stage: Choose the stage of evolution you are performing (e.g., first evolution, second evolution). This is crucial as the level multiplier changes with each stage.
6. Click "Calculate Evolution": The calculator will process the inputs and display the estimated CP after evolution, along with other relevant stats like the estimated level and base stats.
7. Interpret Results: The primary result is the estimated CP. The intermediate values provide context on the Pokémon's stats and level post-evolution.
8. Use "Reset": Click the "Reset" button to clear all fields and start fresh.
9. Copy Results: Use the "Copy Results" button to quickly copy the calculated information for later use or sharing.

Key Factors That Affect Pokémon GO Evolution CP

1. Pokémon Species Base Stats: Different Pokémon have vastly different inherent Attack, Defense, and Stamina. A Dragonite will always have higher potential CP than a Rattata, regardless of level or IVs.
2. Individual Values (IVs): Higher IVs (closer to 15) directly boost each stat, leading to a higher overall CP. A 100% IV Pokémon (15/15/15) will achieve the highest possible CP for its level and species.
3. Pokémon Level: The higher the level, the greater the impact of the level multiplier, and thus the higher the CP. Achieving higher levels requires more Stardust and Candy.
4. Evolution Stage Multiplier: Each stage of evolution applies a multiplier that increases the Pokémon's potential CP. Evolving a Pokémon to its final stage yields the highest CP increase.
5. Weather Boosts: Weather conditions in-game can boost a Pokémon's level by 5 (e.g., from Level 20 to Level 20.5). This slight increase in level also translates to a slightly higher CP after evolution.
6. XL Candy and Level 50 Cap: For Pokémon above Level 40, using XL Candy allows players to push their level even higher (up to Level 50). This significantly increases CP and is a major factor for end-game players. The calculator assumes max level cap based on standard evolution unless specifically modified for XL candy calculations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Q1: Does evolution change my Pokémon's IVs?
  A: No, evolution does not change a Pokémon's IVs. They remain the same after evolution.
• Q2: How does the calculator determine the level after evolution?
  A: Typically, the level remains the same. However, if you input a weather-boosted level (e.g., 20.5), it reflects that the Pokémon was boosted prior to evolution. The calculator *estimates* the resulting CP at that same level.
• Q3: What if I don't know my Pokémon's IVs?
  A: Leave the IV fields blank. The calculator will use 0 for all IVs in its estimation, giving you a baseline CP. You can then compare this to the CP of a Pokémon with known IVs.
• Q4: Why are the CP results estimates?
  A: The exact CP formula can have minor variations and is updated by Niantic. This calculator uses the most widely accepted community formulas to provide a highly accurate estimate.
• Q5: How much Candy does evolution cost?
  A: The Candy cost varies greatly by Pokémon species and the evolution stage. This calculator does not track Candy costs.
• Q6: What is the difference between Stage 1 and Stage 2 evolution?
  A: Stage 1 is the first evolution (e.g., Bulbasaur to Ivysaur), and Stage 2 is the subsequent evolution (e.g., Ivysaur to Venusaur). Some Pokémon have a Stage 3 evolution.
• Q7: Can this calculator predict moveset changes?
  A: No, this calculator focuses solely on CP and stat estimations. Movesets are randomized upon evolution.
• Q8: Does it matter if my Pokémon is a shadow or purified Pokémon for evolution?
  A: Shadow Pokémon cannot be evolved. Purified Pokémon can be evolved, and their stats (including IVs) will have increased slightly upon purification. This calculator treats purified Pokémon like regular ones after purification.
