For a given trainer level; is the max CP going to be the same for all final evolutions such as Parasect and Pidgeot, or same for all 'stage 2' evolutions such as Parasect and Pidgeotto, or some clear pattern on which pokemon will have the highest CP at their max evolution?  Max CP may be dependent on the particular Pokemon line (Pidgeot) or type (Flying) or rarity (how to determine easily??) or other factors. What I want to understand is, how can I figure out which of my captures is potentially much higher CP without actually evolving and leveling them.

It's clear that the evolved form of Pokemon have a far higher CP cap (and it looks like minimum too) but it would also seem there is a difference between different Pokemon.   For example I have an Oddish at 184 CP which is at 50% of it's cap, and I also have a Ratata at 185 CP but it is far closer to its cap, around 90%.  Which Pokemon have the highest CP caps?

Have you noticed the different responses when catching Pokémon?  Most of the time there is a ring that shoots out. Sometimes however there are fiery wisps that go up from the Pokémon.   Any idea what this means?

So I'm pretty sure there's at least 2, one for both X &amp; Y.   Much like other iterations of the other Pokemon games, are there other Legendaries? How many legendaries, and what are their names?

Before, when I transferred a Pokemon to the professor, I returned to the same Pokemon in the A-Z function; now I am returned to the beginning.  This means scrolling down after each transfer, which is a time consuming matter.  What happened? I tried resetting the game and the phone but that did not change it. Any ideas?

I was just wondering if the number of candies we get while transferring the pokemon to professor is same for any stage of evolution ?   For example, you would get a pidgey candy for transferring a pidgey. Is it same number of candies for transferring pidgey, pidgeotto or pidgeot ?

I know that if I postpone my Pokemon's evolution, I can learn certain moves earlier. For example, Mareep learns Thunder at level 55 while its fully evolved form, Ampharos, only gets it at level 79.  Obviously, Pokemon who change types by evolving get the benefits of their new type, but for everything else, why should I evolve early as opposed to waiting for good attacks?

I'm trying to understand how to calculate IVs range in order to calculate Pokémon Max CP. I have the following info:  Pokemon: Exeggcute His base stats are 110/132/120 (Atk/Def/Sta) CP now: 176 HP now: 42 Dust cost: 600 -Not powered up Trainer level 11   What's the formula and calculations I have to do in order to get the Pokémon's INDIVIDUAL stats?  I'm trying to figure out the formulas used in      I'm not looking for automatic tools! I'm looking for the formula used for this calculations.

When activating the evolution for a caught Pokemon, it seems to amplify the Combat Power (CP). Thus it seems most beneficial to evolve your Pokemon with the highest CP, if you have multiple of the same kind.   But what I am not sure about is whether it makes an efficiency difference if you spend candies and dust to boost CP before evolving, to gain more from the amplification? Or is it more efficient to just evolve without spending, and then using the leftover candies afterwards, since they now give a bigger CP boost per candy?   I only tested with a Rattata so far, which gained +8 CP per candy before evolving, and +15 CP afterwards. I collected no numbers on the amplification efficiency though, and now ran out of materials for further testing.  Or maybe it is a balanced calculation and makes no difference at all? I would love to have some insight on that.    Some data I collected thus far: (GPC = CP gain per candy)  79 CP Weedle (GPC 6) evolved to: 84 CP Kakuna (GPC 6), evolved at 90 CP to: 297 CP Beedrill    Note: The max-CP "half circle" in the profile stayed filled roughly at the same relative position throughout the evolutions.

Sometimes I will see a level 10 gym of my team. In this case, how can I join this gym?   I assume the more I fight in this gym, the higher the prestige the gym can get, but it will never allow me to join it?

I've heard you can start with pikachu in pokemon go instead of the 3 standard starters. How would one do this? Is this even possible?

I just got this game, and I picked Fennekin, the fire Pokémon as my starter. Is there a way to get the other two starters too, or am I limited to only getting one?

I've risen Pokemon Amie Affection to 5 hearts on my Riolo in the hopes that it will evolve as soon as it levels up, but I'm not certain that this is the same thing as friendship, and I'd like to not waste a level.  My question is this: What is the difference between Pokemon Amie Affection and the Friendship stat?

For instance if me and my friend had a Pidgeot and we powered them all the way up. Could mine end up with like 525 and his at like 500?

I have two Pidgeot. One has a special attack of 25 with 4 blue bars, and the other has a special attack of 60 with one blue bar.  I assume the blue bars are the number of times you can use that attack when it is fully charged, so the 25 deals 100 damage and the other only 60?  Which is better, weaker attacks you can use more often or stronger attacks you can use less often?

I just started and finally caught my second Pokémon, as I noticed these steps on my close by Pokémon. What does it mean? It is probably related with how far the Pokémon is, but how far is far?

You may already know that if you catch two Pidgeys, they may have a different skillset.  I've also seen that evolving them from different skillsets will also create Pidgeottos with different skillsets.  Are those skills chosen randomly or do they follow a specific pattern? (Like Pidgey pattern 1 will always evolve into Pidgeotto pattern 1.)  If they are specific, is there a website to check for them?

Sometimes I get a bonus when catching a Pokemon. When does this happen? It happened already multiple times to me.  (I don't mean curveball, great or excellent bonus here. I mean the undefined "bonus" visible in the screenshot)
