Want to know if your Pokémon is worth powering up? A Pokémon Go CP Calculator helps you predict strength, IVs, and evolution outcomes—saving you Stardust and Candy.
1. How is CP Calculated in Pokémon GO?
A Pokémon’s CP depends on:
- Base stats (Attack, Defense, Stamina)
- Pokémon Level (half-levels: e.g., 30.5)
- IVs (Individual Values) (0-15 for each stat)
CP Formula
The exact formula is:CP=((BaseAtk+IVAtk)×BaseDef+IVDef×BaseSta+IVSta×(CPM)210)CP=(10(BaseAtk+IVAtk)×BaseDef+IVDef×BaseSta+IVSta×(CPM)2)
Where:
- CPM = Combat Power Multiplier (varies by level)
- Base Stats = Species-specific (e.g., Mewtwo has 300 Atk, 182 Def, 214 Sta)
CPM Table (Partial)
| Level | CPM | Level | CPM |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0.094 | 30 | 0.7317 |
| 20 | 0.5974 | 40 | 0.7903 |
| 25 | 0.6679 | 50 | 0.8403 |

3. Pokémon GO Box Value Calculator
A Box Value Calculator helps you decide which Pokémon to keep or transfer by ranking them based on:
- IVs (Higher = Better)
- Meta Relevance (Useful in raids/PvP?)
- CP Efficiency (Cost to max vs. usefulness)
Example: A 98% IV Machamp is more valuable than a 70% IV one, even if the latter has higher CP.
4. Pokémon GO Level Calculator
Your trainer level determines max Pokémon level (up to Level 50). A Level Calculator helps track:
- XP needed for next level
- Max CP for your Pokémon (Your level + 10)
Example:
- At Trainer Level 30, your Pokémon can reach Level 40.
- At Trainer Level 40, they can reach Level 50 (with XL Candy).
5. Pro Tips for Using CP Calculators
