How to choose the best in Pokémon GO: do not be guided by the CP

Choose the best Pokémon in Pokémon GO it is not something simple. For many users the only relevant thing could be the combat points, CP. But this is far from the truth. Choose the best in Pokémon GO It has nothing to do with the CP they have at a specific time, but rather with the potential that each one of them has. But how do you find out?

Choosing the best in Pokémon GO

The potential of Pokémon is what you really need to consider when choosing which ones to keep and which ones to transfer. For that you must take something very into account, and that is that the potential of Pokémon can be predicted based on their current conditions. It does not depend on their CP, which are the combat points they have at a specific moment, and which can be improved. But it basically depends on the fact that as you go up in these points, it is stronger than other Pokémon of the same species at the same level. That is, what it will be when it reaches its maximum level. Actually, you should only stick with those Pokémon that are going to reach their maximum level. You can transfer the others to get candies.

Now, how do you identify those Pokémon?

As follows. Follow these steps.

1. Go to the calculator PokeAssistant
2. Introduce the data of the Pokémon, its CP, its level of life, expressed in the game as HP, as well as the points of Stardust that you must spend to give it More power. You can choose if you have boosted it before or not, although if you do not know it, you do not need to modify it.
3. Now go to your Pokémon in game, access the options menu of each one and click Assess. Each leader of your team will tell you a phrase about your Pokémon. Usually it will tell you that it stands out in one of the three main characteristics, or in several of them: Attack, Defense and Health. As you can see, you have all three boxes. Check those mentioned by the team leader.
4. Then, you just have to select the box Best. The simplest option is to leave it in Optional although this way the calculation will be more imprecise. How do you know which values ​​to choose? Also based on what your team leader tells you. Look at the following phrases: "It is the best Pokémon I have ever seen." If so, then you will need to select level 15. If it says something like "It's awesome," select levels "13-14." If the message is 'Your Pokémon is fine ... I guess', then select the worst '0-7'. Either way, you'd better take a look at this guide. The first option is 0-7, the second option is 8-12, the third option is 13-14, and the fourth option will be 15.
   • Red
     • Its characteristics will not be of much use to you in combat.
     • Its characteristics will help you to fulfill your objective in combat.
     • It has excellent features. How exiting!
     • I'm freaking out with its features. WOW!
   • Blue
     • His stats are not out of the norm, in my opinion.
     • His statistics show a remarkably positive trend.
     • I am certainly impressed by his stats, it must be said.
     • Its characteristics are beyond calculation. Is incredible!
   • Yellow
     • His stats are fine, but a bit basic, as far as I can see.
     • It has good features, no doubt
     • Its features are really strong! Is awesome!
     • Its features are the best I've ever seen! That last!
5. Now you should see all the possible options, it will give you a percentage of the best Pokémon that could be yours and the worst based on the data you have entered. If you are below 70% I would directly rule it out. In your place, I would go to the last evolution of the Pokémon, and move the level bar to the maximum. Here you can see all the possible versions, the best and the worst, and you can get an idea of ​​how they would be compared to the best and worst Pokémon that exist in the game of that same species. But I already tell you, that below 70% I would transfer that Pokémon to the professor to get a candy.

From there, the ideal is that you mark with a star all the Pokémon that exceed 70% and are these that you focus on. If you also get any of them to exceed 80%, or even 90%, do not hesitate to improve that Pokémon to the maximum. For that you will need many candies of its kind and Stardust, but it will be a good investment.
