You may already know that if you catch two Pidgeys, they may have a different skillset.
I've also seen that evolving them from different skillsets will also create Pidgeottos with different skillsets.
Are those skills chosen randomly or do they follow a specific pattern? (Like Pidgey pattern 1 will always evolve into Pidgeotto pattern 1.)
If they are specific, is there a website to check for them?
I found a reddit post that lists special moves but the top comment asks about move correlation: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/4sqqb0/movesmovesets_in_pokemon_go_an_almost_complete/
One of the comments provided a chart that illustrates the moves a pidgey learns when evolved into a pidgeotto: https://i.stack.imgur.com/N9fJW.png
It shows that there is no 100% correlation at all between movesets from one evolution to another. If there is a ratio at all between moves I cannot say for sure due to the small sample size given.
I have been trying trial and error and it's really hard to tell how to get the best move sets I'm not for sure if it's random but I have seen that I get the best attack skills from evolving XS Pokémon
I've been testing that part, and all I can tell you is it's random. Yesterday I evolved a Pidgey->Pidgeotto and got same skillset. And few days ago, I evolved 3 Rattata; 3 of them got 2 new skills, the other got the same skillset.
They follow a pattern. Each Pokemon has two possible normal moves and three possible specials. When a Pokemon evolves, the evolution will end up with the moves in the same 'slots' as the original. For example, a Rattata which knows Tackle will always evolve into a Raticate which knows Bite.
It SHOULD keep the same move-set as the pre-evolution, with 1 to 2 new attacks, maybe even forgetting a move. I do know their still different, since I evolved 2, but its all chance based.
