‘Pokemon Go’ Updates: Power Up CP Increase List; Snorlax, Dragonite Among Best To Level Up

"Pokemon Go" is now more than a couple of months old in allowing players to live out their "Pokemon" trainer dreams in real life, which means some out there might be concerned with getting into some min-maxing; and so, here are some tips on which "Pokemon" to best concentrate on powering up to become the very best trainer out there.

Smart Stock News went and tallied the average level of CP gain each "Pokemon" gets when they power up when fed with enough Candies and Stardust. As the chart reveals, Dragonite is at the top of the charts of the more common slew of "Pokemon" in the amount of average CP it gains when he gets powered up.

Dragonite gets around 47.7 more CP on average with each power up, followed by Snorlax at a distant 42.2. Arcanine, Lapras, and Exeggutor all sit at the 40 CP mark with varying places in the decimal point; while the difference between their CP gain when powering up can be minimal, Arcanine seems to have a higher chance of gaining more CP so those who want to maximize their Stardust and Candy use might want to focus on it.

As is standard Magikarp fare, the little fish "Pokemon" sits at the very bottom of the list with an average of 3 CP gain per power up. Feeding it enough Stardust and Candies however, will have its CP gain shoot up to the late 30s tier when it evolves into Gyarados, sitting at a 36.4 average just below Vaporeon's 38.1 in the "Pokemon Go" power up chart.

As for the amount of resources needed to power up a critter in "Pokemon Go," Ranked Boost has a chart listing the specific amount of Candies and Stardust needed to get each "Pokemon" powered up at certain level ranges. With this information, "Pokemon Go" players can have an easier time in planning out their power up scheme to get the most out of their effort.
