Here, we will go over how and when to power up your Pokémon, the different ways you can evolve your Pokémon, and how to get the ultra-powerful Mega Pokémon. Similarly, if you want to use it for Ultra League, the resulting Pokémon needs to be below CP 2501.
If you’re planning to use your Pokémon for Great League, for example, you can’t power it up or evolve it into a Pokémon with a CP of 1501 or higher. However, the power-up and evolution mechanics in Pokémon Go are completely different to the rest of the games, and it’s not always correct to power up or evolve your Pokémon. Having stronger Pokémon allows you to take down more difficult raids and gyms, and participate in PVP battles in the form of Go Battle League. Powering up and evolving your Pokémon in Pokémon Go is your primary way of working your way through the game.
