Pokemon GO: How to Increase CP of Pokemon
When you first capture a Pokemon, you will be able to see its CP on its info window, but not all Pokemon of the same species will have the same CP. As differences in their IV level also influence CP. And calculating the CP of your Pokemon is quite complex. Because many things come into the picture. So rather than confusing you with the formula, we will focus on how you can increase Pokemon’s CP through IV and Power Up methods. Let’s first learn about IV. As we have already discussed, IV has three factors: Attack, Defense, and HP. We will jump to how you can increase your Pokemon’s IV. The first method of purification does not apply to all Pokemons. But you can purify Shadow Pokemons to increase their IV. The second method is trading. If you have a good friendship level with the one your trading partner, then the chance of getting a better IV reset increases. To put it simply, when you trade, IV of Pokemon changes for better or worse. But if you are trading with Lucky Friend, the chances of getting positive stats and Lucky Pokemon increases. Now talking about the Power Up method. It is pretty simple, you just need some Stardust and Candies. Stardust is the same for every Pokemon, but Candy differs with species. There are several methods through which you can collect these Candies and Stardust, such as form walking, capturing, Raid, and so on. Also, Pokemon that are hatched, and caught on Raid or Field Research have higher CP and IV in comparison to wild capture. This is all you need to increase the CP of your Pokemon in Pokemon Go.
