Should you keep Unevolved in Pokémon Go?

Yes, you should keep some unevolved Pokémon in Pokémon Go, especially for PvP (like Lickitung/Vigoroth), Community Day moves, or if they learn a key move earlier (like certain babies), but generally, evolve for higher stats in raids, though some exceptions exist for unique items or abilities. For competitive play, some pre-evolved forms with items like the now-removed Eviolite (not in Go) or specific move/stat spreads (like Vigoroth) can outperform their fully evolved selves, but in Pokémon Go, it's mainly about moves, specific roles, or saving Community Day evolutions.

Is there any benefit to not letting your Pokémon evolve?

Not evolving a Pokémon can offer strategic benefits like learning crucial moves earlier (e.g., Earthquake, Seed Bomb) or retaining access to moves lost upon evolution, with certain unevolved forms like Porygon2 or Chansey gaining massive bulk with the held item Eviolite, sometimes making them better than their fully evolved counterparts for specific roles, especially in PvP. While most Pokémon gain significant power from evolving, delaying evolution lets you get key level-up moves sooner, and some special items (like Thick Club) only work on pre-evolutions, creating unique strengths.

What is the shiny trick in Pokemon Go?

To get shiny Pokémon in Pokémon Go, encounter and check as many as possible, especially during Community Days, use Lure Modules & Incense, focus on Pokémon nests, complete Research Tasks (especially Research Days for 1/10 odds), and tap every Pokémon on the map to see if it's shiny (they don't look shiny on the map). Increased spawns during events and focusing on one species greatly improves your chances by giving more "rolls" at the shiny chance.

Is it worth keeping 2 star Pokemon?

Yes, 2-star Pokémon can be worth keeping in Pokémon Go, especially if they have good PvP IVs (low Attack, high Defense/HP), are shiny, rare, or if you're a newer player needing temporary fighters; otherwise, 3-star (or better) Pokémon are generally prioritized for raids/gyms, but check for PvP potential before transferring all 2-stars.

Are Pokémon weaker if you don't evolve them?

Not only do evolved forms tend to show greater stat gain from Level to Level, but Pokémon receive a one-time "evolution bonus" to their stats. The longer evolution is delayed, the larger this bonus will be. However, it is not the case that Pokémon who put off evolution are stronger in the long run.

Why is Pokémon getting rid of Ash?

Ash Ketchum "left" the main Pokémon anime because his 25-year journey to become a Pokémon Master reached a natural conclusion after he won the World Championship, allowing the series to introduce new protagonists (Liko & Roy) for a fresh start, though he occasionally appears in special episodes or movies, keeping the door open for future cameos.

Does using rare candy make your Pokemon weaker?

No, Rare Candies don't directly make Pokémon weaker, but they can lead to weaker stats if you skip Effort Value (EV) training by battling. Since Rare Candies only provide experience (EXP) and don't award EVs (bonus points from battles), a Pokémon leveled only with them will have lower stats than one that fought its way up and gained EVs, unless you manually max out those EVs later using items (vitamins/berries) or specific battles, which is possible in newer games.

No, wild shiny Pokémon do not have a 100% catch rate; they can flee like regular Pokémon, but shinies from raids and special events (like Legendary Raid Battles) are guaranteed catches on the first successful hit. The shiny encounter is rare, but once you find one, its catch rate (outside of raids) is similar to a regular Pokémon, depending on the game and situation.
