Do Pokemon gain more exp if they don't evolve?

However, evolving does make leveling up take longer. This is because unevolved Pokemon that pass their level requirement to evolve will gain more EXP from battle. For example, a level 17+ Mudkip will gain more EXP than a level 17-35 Marshtomp or a level 36+ Swampert.

Do Pokémon level up faster if they don't evolve?

On the plus side, unevolved Pokémon level up a lot faster than their evolved forms do. Unfortunately, because their stats will always be a little behind, they have to keep leveling constantly and pretty much are playing catch-up indefinitely so their evolved peers won't outdistance them.

Is there any benefit to not evolving Pokemon?

The ONLY advantage keeping your pokemon back will do for you is to learn moves that later evolutions cannot. For example, Mismagius doesn't learn anything when it levels up, so to learn moves like Pain Split or Shadow Ball, or mostly anything for that matter, you would have to keep it as Misdreavus first.

Is it better to level up a Pokémon before evolving in Pokemon go?

Because we cannot predict a Pokémon's move set before evolving it, you should evolve a Pokémon and confirm it has the moves you want before investing your hard-earned Stardust into it. If you evolve first and get a bad/unwanted move set, you'll at least have only used Candies and no Stardust.

Are Unevolved Pokémon easier to level up?

In PRO, unevolved Pokemon require less EXP to level up. Raising unevolved Pokemon is thus much faster than raising evolved Pokemon, since the EXP curve is more steep as well. The caveat is that if you accidentally forget to evolve your Pokemon, they will not be able to evolve.

Is there a downside to not evolving Pokemon?

You will always want to evolve your pokemon if you want them to be stronger. The only reason you wouldn't evolve them is if you want them to learn a certain move earlier. For example, some pokemon won't learn a strong move (i.e. Hyper beam) until level 70-80ish but if you don'..

Does stopping a Pokemon from evolving make it weaker?

Does it matter if you evolve Pokémon early?

Stats will be the same whether you evolve it now or later, but waiting may cause you to miss some awesome moves. Let's keep using Charizard as an example. It's set to learn Wing Attack at 36 (same level as is evolves) If you wait, Charizard won't learn it.

Should I stop Charmander from evolving?

Evolution boosts stats, but when they evolve does not. And unevolved pokemon level up as fast as their evolutions. In Charmander's case, he learns Flamethrower so quickly that there's no reason to let him unevolved. The stats should recalculate when you evolve, so you don't "miss" stats by evolving late.

Should I evolve Pokemon before level 30?

It honestly depends on your patience. I believe that Pokemon you can catch will max out on the CP they can give by level 30. Basically, this means that up until level 30 Pokemon you see in the wild will grow stronger every level... but the Pokemon you catch at 40 will be the same as 30-39 in terms of max potential.

What level should I let my Pokemon evolve?

It doesn't matter when for that. The only thing you need to be aware of is moves. If a Pokemon learns a move at a certain level, but you evolve it before it hits that level, and the evolution does NOT learn that move, then the move is lost forever, and cannot be relearned by the move relearner.

Is higher CP or stars better?

Rating stars represent the potential, and CP represents the current state. If you power up a Pokemon with 3 stats to the same level as a 0 star Pokemon of the same species, the 3 star one will have more CP. Usually CP is your best indicator of your strongest fighters (but there are TONS more factors).

Are Pokemon weaker if you use rare candy?

No. The only difference between experience gained in battle and experience gained through other means (rare candy, daycare, etc) is that battle experience grants EVs. So if your EVs are maxed out, there is no difference anymore. Originally Answered: Are Pokémon raised with rare candy weaker?
