From this, I think it's safe to assume CP is deterministic. | |

Just depending on CP will provide enough variation that any results from a test would be very suggestive, but not completely conclusive. | |

I would still be interested to see what happens in a case where evolving the pokemon causes their power-up cost to rise. Then it comes down to the question of which is more valuable...the cheaper and lower power-ups that stack with the evolution boost or the expensive and higher power-ups that won't be stacked with evolution boost. | |
| Jul 15, 2016 at 16:08 | comment | added | Tom Pace | That's a heuristic I've adopted as well, before now finding your comment/answer. Also this is after tracking all stats on about 3-4 pokemon of each of pidgey, eevee, rattata that with altering powered-up/evolve experiments. The order does not really matter. So we're both on the same page, awesome. For myself, I'm now focussed on grander level game play, like choosing to primarily hunt in an dedicated area of a city/town to get recurring powerful pokemon. I've been hunting eevees almost exclusively the last week, and starting a bulbasaur collection. | |
