CP
,→CP, Evolving and Powering Up Explained
In this game your pokemon don’t level up by earning experience, but they gain CP by powering them up using 1 [[candy]] (later on it will costs you 2/3 candy) of the species and an amount of [[stardust]].
The cost of stardust to power up a pokemon increases depending on how far on the CP curve the pokemon is. For example at the beginning of the curve it may cost you 200 stardust to power up, but at the end of the curve it may cost you 3000 stardust to power up.
Also keep in mind that powering up is tied to your trainer level. By which I mean that on lower levels you cannot reach the end of the curve simply because the game won’t allow you to power up that pokemon anymore if that pokemon has reached a certain point on the curve.
