Do stars really matter in Pokemon go?
Some Pokemon Go trainers want more than just a star rating for their Pokemon, they want to know their Pokemon’s IV. Well, fortunately with the new system you can work this out. Three stars with a pink background is clear and obvious – a 100% IV. However, some of the others require a closer look.
What do stars do in Pokemon go?
When you tap Appraise, your Team Leader offers you an evaluation of your Pokémon. Each Pokémon is appraised out of three stars, with more stars reflecting higher battle potential. Along with the star rating, your Team Leader gives specific appraisals for Attack, Defense, and HP.
Is it better to evolve a higher CP or higher star Pokémon?
At first the only indication that one Pokémon is better than another is its “CP” rating. … It pays to keep and evolve only the best Pokémon you find. In general, you want higher CP Pokémon to evolve over lower CP Pokémon, but just because a Pokémon has a high CP doesn’t mean it’s actually very good.
What does 0 * 1 * 2 * mean in Pokémon Go?
Appraisal stars
You can have 0, 1, 2 and 3 stars, with a special red background that appears for Pokemon that are 100% (perfect IVs). The starts represent following IV percent ranges: 0 stars: 0 – 48.9% 1 star: 51.1 – 64.4% 2 stars: 66.7 – 80%
Should I evolve high CP or IV?
It depends. IV corresponds to max CP. So if you evolve the eevee with higher CP then it will also have higher CP post evolution, but it’s maximum CP will be lower. If you plan on pumping lots of stardust/candies into this pokemon then you should choose the higher IV with the higher max.
Should I max out CP before evolving?
Since CP increases from power ups are also proportional across evolutions, you’ll get the same results for the same amount of stardust and candies whether you power up the Pokemon before or after evolving it. It should make no difference at all.
Should I evolve a low CP but high IV Pokémon?
This does mean that a Pokemon with a high CP can have terrible IVs and vice-versa. While high CP Pokemon don’t need to be leveled up as much (they are closer to their maximum level) they can still be weak. Conversely, a Pokemon with a low CP can have perfect IV values.
