This Pokémon Go Evolution Calculator provides an estimated Max CP after evolution, based on your current Pokémon’s CP and a standard evolution multiplier for its species. Note that the actual evolved CP can vary slightly due to hidden stats (IVs).

Pokémon Go Evo Calculator Formula:

$$ \text{Evolved CP} \approx \text{Current CP} \times \text{Evolution Multiplier} $$

The Evolution Multiplier is a unique value for each Pokémon species, approximating the difference in base stats between the pre-evolved and evolved form.

Variables:

  • Current Pokémon CP: Your Pokémon’s current Combat Power, which is determined by its base stats, IVs, and current level. Must be a positive integer.
  • Pokémon Species (Multiplier): A selection representing the Pokémon family. Each family has a unique, fixed multiplier used to estimate the CP gain upon evolution.
  • Custom Evolution Multiplier: An optional override value for advanced users who know the precise multiplier for a specific species or wish to test hypothetical scenarios.

What is Pokémon Go Evo Calculator?

The Pokémon Go Evolution Calculator is a utility tool designed to predict the Combat Power (CP) of a Pokémon *after* it undergoes evolution. This prediction is crucial for players determining which Pokémon is worth investing Candy and Stardust into. Since evolution provides a massive, one-time boost to the Pokémon’s base Attack, Defense, and Stamina stats, the CP reflects this jump.

Unlike leveling up (Powering Up), which is a gradual increase in CP, evolution multiplies the underlying stats. The calculator simplifies this complex stat transformation into a single factor, the “Evolution Multiplier,” which is applied directly to the Current CP to give an approximate Evolved CP. Using this tool ensures you don’t evolve a low-CP Pokémon only to find its maximum potential is lower than desired.

How to Calculate Evolved CP (Example):

  1. Identify Current CP: Let’s say you have a Magikarp with 120 CP.
  2. Determine Multiplier: The Magikarp-to-Gyarados multiplier is one of the highest in the game, approximately 10.0.
  3. Apply Formula: Multiply the Current CP by the Multiplier: $120 \times 10.0$.
  4. Get Result: The estimated Evolved CP (Gyarados) would be 1200 CP.
  5. Compare and Decide: You now know the potential strength of your evolved Pokémon and can compare it against other captures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Is the Evolved CP estimate always 100% accurate?

No. While the calculator is highly accurate, it provides an estimate based on average multipliers. The final CP is influenced by the Pokémon’s hidden Individual Values (IVs), which are not directly factored into this simplified calculation.

Why do some Pokémon have a much higher Evolution Multiplier?

The multiplier reflects the difference in the species’ base stats. Pokémon like Magikarp, which evolve from very weak forms into very powerful forms (Gyarados), have multipliers up to 10x, while others may only have a 1.1x multiplier.

Do I need to Power Up before evolving?

No, the CP multiplier is applied to your Current CP regardless of its level. The final Evolved CP will be the same whether you Power Up before or after evolution, but evolving first is generally recommended to see the maximum CP potential before spending Stardust.

Where do I find my Pokémon’s specific Evolution Multiplier?

While the calculator provides common ones, you can find exhaustive lists and data tables on high-authority fan wikis and data-mining sites. Use the ‘Custom’ option to enter any specific multiplier you find.
