At what level should I evolve my Pokémon?

You should evolve Pokémon based on their moveset and stats, not a specific level; evolve when they learn a crucial move or have high IVs/CP, usually waiting until higher trainer levels (like 30+) to catch stronger base Pokémon, but sometimes evolving early for better moves (like TMable ones) or if they're special (shiny, high IVs). In main games, check move lists for level-up moves; in Pokémon GO, high IVs and CP are key, often waiting until you're level 30+ to evolve to maximize potential.

What level should you evolve Pokemon?

Evolve pokemon whenever you want. In this game it doesn't matter what order you choose to power up or evolve a pokemon. They end up exactly the same, and their total cost is the same, as long as you end up doing both. Height and weight have no effect on combat.

Is it better to evolve Pokemon early or later?

It's generally better to evolve later in core Pokémon games to learn key moves earlier and potentially gain stats, but in Pokémon GO, evolving first is often better for CP management and move sets, with exceptions for items like Eviolite or specific moves, so checking a move list is key. The best time depends on your goal: for in-game power, evolve late to learn moves; for Go PvP, evolve early to control CP; for utility, check move lists.

Should I fully level up a Pokemon before evolving?

The max potential of a pokemon does not depend on what order you do things. That said, evolving first is generally good because it gives you a decent boost for candy only, while powering up does the same thing but costs dust . Candy is more plentiful than dust generally.

What's more important, CP or appraisal?

In Pokémon Go, Appraisal (IVs) is generally more important long-term because it determines a Pokémon's potential strength and max CP, which can't be changed, while CP (Combat Points) is just its current strength; high IVs (Appraisal) let you power up to a higher CP, making them better for high-level raids/PvP, but sometimes lower CP Pokémon with perfect PvP IVs (low Attack) are better for Great/Ultra League. In real estate, an Appraisal sets the property's monetary value for loans, while a Property Condition Report (PCR) details physical issues, with the appraisal being crucial for lenders, though a PCR informs the appraisal.

Is it better to purify or evolve first?

For Pokemon Go, it's generally better to Purify first if your goal is saving resources (Stardust/Candy) or getting a 100% IV "hundo" for a Mega Evolution, as purification boosts IVs and level, while Evolving first adds the Shadow form to your Pokedex and keeps it as a powerful Shadow attacker for raids, with the order depending on your specific goal.

Is there a benefit to not letting your Pokémon evolve?

Some Pokemon learn moves that their evolutions cannot learn, which is why some people hold off on evolving them. Some Pokemon also learn moves at an earlier level than their evolutions, which gives the incentive of trying to obtain certain moves sooner rather than later.

Can a level 100 Pokémon still evolve?

Yes, you can evolve a level 100 Pokémon in games from Generation 8 (Sword & Shield) onwards by using a Rare Candy, even if its evolution normally requires leveling up; the candy triggers the evolution without increasing its level, making it possible for Pokémon like Magikarp to become Gyarados or Rellor to evolve after meeting its walking condition.

Can I trick Pokemon GO into thinking I'm walking?

Yes, you can trick Pokémon Go into thinking you're walking using methods like GPS spoofing apps (iAnyGo, AnyTo) with virtual joysticks or by shaking your phone in a sock, which plays on GPS/Adventure Sync inaccuracies, but these can violate terms of service; official methods focus on using Adventure Sync for real steps, while non-walking tricks use location manipulation or device shaking for buddy candy and egg hatching.

How rare is shiny mew?

A Shiny Mew is extremely rare in traditional Pokémon games due to its elusive nature and event-only availability, but it became guaranteed for players who purchased specific paid event tickets in Pokémon GO, making it common for those players, though still rare overall for those who missed those chances. In main series games, getting one involves complex glitches (like the Pomeg Glitch in Emerald) or hacking, while in GO, it was tied to specific paid events like the Kanto Tour, meaning most players never got one unless they paid.
