Evolution Question

[zekezman]

Does not evolving my Kadabra negatively affect its stat gain, or will it just make up the lost stats when it becomes evolved? Thanks

D/P/Pt Help Thread next time?

Evolution only affects the Base Stats of a Pokemon - EVs IVs and all other paraphernalia will not be affected.

Only good things can come about when evolving a Kadabra =D

Just to get this straight, you're asking if you for example evolve a Kadabra at level 50, then level it up to level 100, would the stats be any different than waiting until level 100 and then evolving it?

If that is what you're asking, then it shouldn't. The only thing changing is the base values, and the stats are made up from the IVs, EVs, and base values.

Example:
(Base Stat * 2) + IVs + (EVs / 4) + 5 = stat @ lv100

*HP stat is different, it is 110 instead of 5

when you evolve the Pokemon, the only thing that changes in the above is the base stat, which is set for each Pokemon, so it should be the exact same either way.

EDIT: Beaten >_< haha

Simply put, it does not matter when you evolve. If you evolve at a higher level, the game will fix up the stats you "would have lost". The game is pretty convenient.

I have a Kadabra and I clone it. I then evolve one now, feed the other lotsa Rare Candies and then evolve it, then I feed Rare Candies to the first one to make them the same level; both Alakazams will have the same stats.
