stardust. A commodity that is hard to come by (only catching a pokemon, hatching an egg or collecting your defense bonus yields stardust).
The last two reasons are that you get 500XP 500[[XP]] for evolving a pokemon, something that could be very welcome when you’re trying to level up and by leveling up first you can see the attacks a pokemon
at it’s final evolution has. This way you don’t waste stardust on a pokemon with attacks you don’t like.
