EDIT: Solved - I mixed up the base stats. Thanks everyone!
Hi all,
I am looking to calculate CP to compare some Pokemon I have. A starting point is to create a formula that I can re-use instead of re-entering in CP calculators.
Due to some error on my end that I can't figure out, I am unable to re-create the CP formula.
The formula I am currently using:
CP = (Attack * Defense^0.5 * Stamina^0.5 * CP_Multiplier^2) / 10
Attack = Base Attack + Attack IV
Defense = Base Defense + Defense IV
Stamina = Base Stamina
Using Vaporeon as an example at lv40 and perfect IVs:
Attack = 260
Defense = 205
Stamina = 177
Lv40 CPM = 0.79030001
Setting IVs at 15 gives me the following:
Attack = 275
Defense = 220
Stamina = 192
Putting all this together:
CP
= (Attack * Defense^0.5 * Stamina^0.5 * CP_Multiplier^2) / 10
= (275 + 220^0.5 + 192^0.5) * 0.79030001^2 / 10
= 3,530
This exceeds Vaporeon's max CP of 3,157 so I know there's something wrong with my formula.
Can anyone tell what I am doing incorrectly?
Thanks!

I can personally verify the importance of the attack IV, from the perspective of two maxed out Dragonites.
1: Dragonite (12-15-15 // 93%) 3492 CP
2: Dragonite (15-10-15 // 89%) 3489 CP
3: Dragonite (15-14-13 // 93%) 3504 CP
Number 2, despite having two IV points lower than #1, is almost perfectly equal in CP due to the increased weight of the attack IV in calculating the CP. As for number 3, the 15 attack IV gives it a considerable CP advantage over #1, despite having the same IV%
