Pokemon Go, augmented reality game by Niantic, has been rolled out in 15 more countries including Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Philippines.
As millions more players have been added, the desire to be the best and get maximum Pokemon CP is at a new high. To advance or evolve Pokemon, gamers must have a specific type and required number of Candy, which will activate the evolve button.
To upgrade a Pokemon, the player needs to go to the Pokemon's specific page, find their name and stats, and from there by using available candy the player can evolve the Pokemon. However, they will need to keep in mind that as the player's trainer level will climb up so will their Pokemon.
If a gamer wants to check the evolution of a Pokemon, it's upgraded version and highest CP, then the player can use PokeGo's Evolution CP Calculator or pogotooklit's Evolution Calculator. The CP levels reflect a Pokemon's capability to defeat other opponent's Pokemon in Gym battles.
Different Pokemon need different numbers of candy to advance, although succeeding evolutions will still involve the base type's candy. Some of the Pokemon which easily evolve include Weedle, Caterpie, and Pidgey, as these creatures require only 12 candies each to evolve, whereas, Magikarp requires at least 400 candies.
By evolving a Pokemon, it gets a few additional effects in addition to making it stronger. The newly evolved creature will be totally healed, and its moves can be at random re-selected.
Moreover, evolving Pokemon grants the player 500 XP, while upgrading it into a Pokemon the player has not caught previously will get the player an extra 500 XP bonus.
