Do Pokémon appraisals change after trading?
Niantic says that after a trade, the pokémon’s IVs will be rerolled. The new values will be within a range of the old IVs, and the friendship level will affect the final IVs.
Should I evolve Pokémon based on CP or appraisal?
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.
Can evolving a Pokémon change the appraisal?
Please note that Evolving or Powering Up a Pokémon will not improve its appraisal, however Purifying a Shadow Pokémon will improve its appraisal.
How do I increase my chances of getting lucky trade?
You can get Lucky Pokémon randomly when trading Pokémon with friends. When you trade, there’s a small chance that your Pokémon will become Lucky. Both Pokémon will always become Lucky if one does. According to research from The Silph Road, Pokémon are more likely to become Lucky if they were caught long ago.
Why can’t I trade my Pokémon back?
Currently, the game doesn’t allow players to trade a Pokémon more than once, meaning that if a trainer has given away one of their Pokémon, they will not be able to get it back, nor could it then be traded to someone else. Effectively, even trade in Pokémon GO is set in stone and can’t be undone or reversed.
Do Lucky trades always increase IV?

What does 0 * 1 * 2 * mean in Pokemon go?

Should I focus on CP or appraisal?
Others have given great answers but how I generalize the debate about IV’s (which is what the appraisal system informs you of) if you are not going to be powering up the pokemon then the higher CP is better as it is simply higher stats.
Is CP or IV more important?
As explained by RustyMembers the IV is by far more important than the CP of a Pokemon. But actually equally or sometimes even more important is the Moveset of a Pokemon. A Pokemon with the best moveset dps wise but with lower IV will perform better than a similar one with a different moveset but higher IV %.
Should I evolve 4 star Pokémon?
You can check out our tips for evolving Pokémon in Pokémon Go for more detail, but generally it’s advisable to evolve your high-IV Pokémon before you start spending Stardust to Power Up and increase its Level. That’s because each time a Pokémon evolves, although its IVs stay the same, its moveset is randomised.
Which Pokémon should I evolve?
You should always evolve a Pokémon fully when you can – so, a Geodude all the way through Graveler to a Golem – because otherwise the time it takes to earn another 100 Candy for your respective Pokémon will likely see you level up enough to catch a higher Level version.
