Pokemon Go CP Chart – Pokemon Go Combat Point (CP) List

A Pokémon’s attack strength is measured in units of Combat Power (CP). A Pokémon’s CP determines how well it will perform in battles. The higher the CP compared to the opponent, the more damage inflicted. Combat Power is shown by a scale running in a semicircle at the top of the Pokémon status screen. This circle essentially shows what could be considered as the Pokémon’s Level and can be increased. Here we present you Pokemon Go Combat Point (CP) List, Pokemon Go CP Chart, Pokemon Go CP List, Pokemon Go CP Ranking or Pokemon Go Max CP.

Pokemon Combat Points are determined in a very simple way. Pokémon have got specific stats, this time Hit Points, Attack and Defense, with Attack and Defense being hidden stats. Using these, the Combat Points are determined, but there are more values involved. Each Pokémon in Pokémon Go has a set of Base Stats for Attack, Defence, and Stamina, along with a hidden Level and a hidden modifier for those Base Stats, known as a Pokémon’s IVs.

The Chart shows on average how much CP a Pokémon will gain from a single power-up and the absolute maximum Combat Points it can have.

Increase Pokemon Go Combat Points (CP)

Increasing CP is relatively simple. As you capture Pokémon, you will collect the special item called Stardust. Teamed with the Stardust and the candy for each of the Pokémon, you can power up the Pokémon.

The amount of Stardust required is dependent solely on what part of the scale the Pokémon is currently on. There are still restrictions on how far up the scale the Pokémon can go based on the trainer level. The higher the level and the more you have to spend. See the chart below for the Stardust and Candy requirements.

What are Pokémon’s IVs?

Here is a full explanation of Pokémon’s IVs, via Reddit user Conan-The-Librarian.

Pokemon have 3 stats: Stamina, Attack, Defense. Each type of Pokemon has different base values for these. You can look these up in charts because they never change.
For example, all Vaporeons have base stats of: 260 STA, 186 ATK, 168 DEF.

However, each Pokemon is also randomly assigned a 0-15 bonus to each of them. These bonuses are called IV’s (i.e. Individual Values, because they are values specific to each individual). They represent genetic variance, in that some pokemon are just genetically superior to others of the same type. A pokemon with a +15 bonus to all 3 stats (15/15/15) is considered 100% perfect. A pokemon’s IVs stay the same when you evolve it.

For example, when IVs are added, individual Vaporeons can have total stats ranging from 260-275 STA, 186-201 ATK, 168-183 DEF. A perfect Vaporeon will have 275 STA, 201 ATK, 183 DEF.
Pokemon with higher stats will have higher CP (combat points, the number above their head in the game). This means that pokemon with higher IVs (and thus stats) will have higher CP than ones with lower IVs, even when they are at the same level.

For example, a level 20 Vaporeon with the worst IVs (0/0/0) would have 1387 CP. But a level 20 Vaporeon with the best IVs (15/15/15) would have 1610 CP.
Note that a pokemon’s level is not shown in the game, but can be estimated by looking at how much Stardust it costs to power them up to the next level (higher levels require more stardust). The game also does not show you what your pokemon’ IVs are, so people use spreadsheets to estimate what their pokemon’ IVs are using equations. More ambitious players will set up proxies to intercept server data in order to know exactly what their pokemon’ IVs are.

People want to know what their pokemon’ IVs are because they don’t want to waste candy and stardust powering up pokemon with low IVs (and thus stats). They will wait until they find one with really good IVs, and then spend resources powering it up.

However, finding a pokemon with the right abilities (i.e. quick move and special move) is much more important than IVs. Ideally, though, you want a pokemon that has both the best Quick/Special Moves and the best IVs.
