Evolving - hatched pokemons or wild catched pokemons?

Hi all,

Recently I have managed to reach level 29 and been approaching level 30 soon. Thus wild catched pokemons have much higher CP than hatched pokemons but their IVs are usually lower than those of hatched pokemons, for example I have a hatched Charmander 500CP, IV84% vs a wild catched one 710CP, IV70%.

I 'd like to know which one you will choose and on what criterias to evolve a pokemon.

All shared opinion is highly appreciated.

Well, the average IV% for hatched mons is 87%, so yeah, you will always get better IVs% than wild ones.

Thing is all of them will be stuck at lvl 20, so the most level you are, the most level ups you will have to perform to get it maxed out. It might take up to 100k dust depending on your level.

It all depends on your tastes, would you like to have lower IVs mons but with little dust spent ? Or maybe more perfects mons but having to invest a large amount of dust ?

Its up to you.

I use a combination. It's usually just a waiting game to get the right combination of high enough CP compared to good enough IVs. The more common pokemon it's easier to just bottom out on candies where the evolution threshold is, and then whatever extra candy comes out on top of that goes to the higher cp low IV pokemon while waiting for the right one to come along. That way when I get the high IV pokemon, I can just evolve it right then and there. Cause I already have that many candy.

With the rarer ones, I take what I can get. Since I've caught fairly worthless snorlax and lapras in the wild (talking 42 to 500 cp here), it was easier to use the ones from an egg and just power it up.
