Now I've seen the forum posts and a plethora of people saying to level up your pokes faster you should deny them of evolving. I understand that reasoning and I understand that some moves are only obtainable in a pokes previous form. However, are there ANY PROS to LETTING your pokemon evolve? Do they get stat jumps that pre-evolution pokemon don't? Say you evolve one Growlithe at level 20 for giggles. Doesn't his stats jump some when he's an Arcanine? Then you deny your second Growlithe from evolving and train it to level 30 faster than the Arcanine which lets say is 22 by now. If you compare states would the level 30 Growlithe be stronger than than the level 22-25 Arcanine? Or further would a level 30 Arcanine have better stats than a level 30 Growlithe? Sure they could level up faster, but do they have better stats than if they did evolve? In any case IS there ANY reason TO evolve your Pokemon, or is denying them from evolving always always the better thing to do? I hope to get these answers to better understand the game so I can spend less time boringly grinding and having more time enjoying the game. I personally like it when my Pokemon evolve, but I don't know if it is really any better or worse in power than not evolving them. Thanks for helping a casual :Angel:
