Planning your next big evolution? Use our Pokemon Evo Calculator to predict your Pokemon’s strength after evolving, calculate how many evolutions you can perform with your current candy hoard, and optimize your resource management for the next Community Day.
Pokemon Evo Calculator
Pokemon Evo Calculator Formula
Evolved CP = Current CP × Evolution Multiplier
Max Evolutions = Total Candy / Candy Cost
Source Reference: Pokemon GO Hub Data Tables & GamePress Evolution Guides
Variables Explained:
- Current CP (P): The Combat Power of your Pokemon before evolving.
- Multiplier (Q): The average ratio by which CP increases upon evolution (varies by species).
- Candy Cost (V): The amount of candy required for a single evolution (usually 12, 25, 50, 100, or 400).
- Total Candy (F): Your current total candy balance for that specific Pokemon species.
What is a Pokemon Evo Calculator?
A Pokemon Evo Calculator is a specialized tool used by trainers to predict the outcome of evolving their Pokemon. By analyzing base stats and specific species multipliers, the calculator provides an estimate of the resulting Combat Power (CP). This is essential for competitive players who want to ensure their Pokemon stay within specific PvP league limits (like the Great League or Ultra League).
Beyond CP prediction, our tool also helps with resource planning. If you have a large number of candies, the calculator determines exactly how many times you can evolve that species, helping you maximize XP gains during “Double XP” evolution events.
How to Calculate Pokemon Evolution (Example)
- Check your Pokemon’s current CP (e.g., 540).
- Look up the evolution multiplier for that species (e.g., Eevee to Vaporeon is approx 2.63).
- Multiply the CP by the factor: $540 \times 2.63 = 1420.2$.
- Round the result to find your predicted CP: 1420.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the predicted CP 100% accurate? Evolution multipliers are averages. While usually very close, slight variations can occur based on hidden Individual Values (IVs).
Does evolution change IVs? No, a Pokemon’s IVs (Attack, Defense, HP) remain exactly the same after evolution.
Should I power up before or after evolving? In most cases, it doesn’t matter. The final CP will be the same whether you power up before or after.
What is the best way to get more candy? Catching, hatching, and walking with a Buddy Pokemon are the most reliable ways to earn species-specific candy.
