I was wondering too. you need to level up breh once you get to 7-8 you start finding rarer and stronger pokemon. and evolving adds a lot to CP which is why aloy of peoples strongest pokemon right now are the evee evolutions

Brehs busting into graves to catch Gastly and Gengars and shyt
Still not fully understanding the hype behind this game, but its an OK diversion so far.
Not really into virtual pissing matches bragging about what pokemon I caught if I can't even fight someone with it.

13 'Pokémon GO' tips and tricks everyone should know

But we had even more questions! Here are even more tips and tricks you should know to enjoy "Pokémon GO" as much as possible!

Tap the Pokémon to make them squeal!
The Pokemon Company
You want to hear how your Pokémon sounds, right? Who doesn't? Tap the Pokéball at the bottom of the screen, select the Pokémon submenu, and select which Pokémon you want to hear. When their character screen comes up, tap on the Pokémon itself. If your volume isn't up, turn it up. Now you can hear 'em!
Curveballs!
MeneerTao/YouTube
While capturing Pokémon, you may have seen an XP bonus on your capture that says "curveball." How'd THAT happen? Simple!
When you enter the Pokémon capture screen, instead of just flicking your ball forward you'll want to tap it and hold, then spin it around in a circle (several times) before flicking it toward the Pokémon. You'll know you're doing it right when the Pokéball gets a bit of a glimmer to it, like sparks are coming off the ball.
Getting better throws!
The Pokemon Company
You may also notice that, while catching Pokémon, you're occasionally getting a "Great throw" bonus. That's because you totally nailed the throw and hit the Pokémon with your Pokéball within the ever-shrinking yellow circle hover over the front of the Pokémon.
That's right: the yellow ring is more than just an idea of where to throw your Pokéball. It's specifically a target to nail to get a throw bonus!
(Note: With difficult to capture Pokémon, the ring will be orange or red — that's a visual indicator that you may want to use a Razzberry to make the Pokémon easier to capture.)
Razz Berries lull Pokémon into a false sense of security!
The Pokemon Company
If you're in the middle of a contentious Pokémon capture, and you've thrown Pokéball after Pokéball to no avail, you may want to throw said Pokémon a delicious raspberry (er, "Razz Berry").
You can buy Razz Berries with in-game money, but you also earn them from visiting Pokéstops pretty frequently. I currently have 21, have used a bunch, and never bought any. BEWARE: The Razz Berry will only make the Pokémon easier to capture for your next throw. Make it count!
So you want to incubate eggs but you don't want to walk...
The Pokemon Company
You've gotten some eggs at this point, no doubt. You may even have found them hidden in the Pokémon submenu (after clicking the Pokéball). Now that you've got those eggs incubating, it's time to start walking!
Ah, but you've got a car — not so fast Pokéfriend!
It's true that you'll need to cover a distance to get that egg incubated (anywhere from 2KM to 10KM), but you'll also need to do it under a relatively low speed. The game can tell that you're in a car, because people don't run much faster than 25MPH (and that's people like Usain Bolt, not you and me). Also, hey, don't play "Pokémon GO" while driving. Stop that.
This also rules out trains/buses/etc. But there is one method that's slightly easier than walking and a lot less dangerous than slowly driving around: biking. Get on your bicycle and get incubating!
(NOTE: You'll need to keep the app open and your phone screen on to have the distance you cover count for anything. Sorry!)
Save your battery! There's a battery saver setting within "Pokémon GO" that will help!
The Pokemon Company
As it turns out, walking around with your phone's screen on full blast is a great way to decimate your battery. "Pokémon GO" has a solution buried in its settings menu. Tap the Pokéball, select "Settings" in the upper right corner, then click "Battery Saver." Solved!
Save your battery even more seriously by flipping your phone!
The screen gets real dark, just like this!The Pokemon Company
If you want to walk around with your phone in your pocket and still capture that sweet, sweet distance you'll need to incubate eggs (and hatch new Pokémon), simply set your phone's screen to never turn off and slide it into your pocket upside down.
If you've already got the game set to "Battery Saver" mode, the phone will register it's been flipped over and automatically dim the screen (like you see above). Magical!
Pokéstop modules attract Pokémon — if you see a Pokéstop "raining," it's got a module attached. Go there for more Pokémon than usual!
There are a lot of people making it rain near TI's headquarters in Manhattan's Flatiron district.The Pokemon Company
Having a hard time finding Pokémon? Take advantage of other people's good fortunes by going to a Pokéstop that has a "module" attached. These modules attract Pokémon to the stop for 30 minutes at a time. Better yet, they affect anyone walking by that Pokéstop. Nothing like scooping up some free Pokémon from someone else's item!
Track Pokémon!
The Pokemon Company
If you open the Pokémon menu in the lower right, you'll notice that there are a handful of footprints beneath each Pokémon. You may also notice that one of the Pokémon silhouettes doesn't have any footprints, which means it's really close to you. If you tap that silhouette, the Pokémon will be revealed on your map! Voila!
Evolve your Pokémon first, then power them up!
My Pinsir is such a high level because I focused on evolving him and then powering him up. He's actually ready for even more right now!The Pokemon Company
Instead of powering up your un-evolved Pokémon, focus on evolving them into their final form first. They'll automatically become more powerful just from evolving, and you use the same stuff (candy, star dust) to power up that you do to evolve. Given that, you should focus your energy on evolving Pokémon first — the more resource-intensive of the two steps anyway — before powering up.
Collect all the low-level Pokémon, regardless of what level you are.
Multiple Pidgeottos just mean I can more easily evolve one into a Pidgeot!The Pokemon Company
Tired of catching the same Weedle over and over? I sympathize, but don't let your boredom get in the way of evolving and powering up your other Pokémon. The more Pokémon you collect, the more candy you'll earn for that type of Pokémon. And the more candy you have, the faster you can evolve and power up your Pokémon. And the more evolved/higher the power your Pokémon are, the better you'll do in gym battles!
Bonus: You'll get stardust every time you capture new Pokémon. And what's stardust used for? Evolving and powering up Pokémon.
Sort your Pokémon!
The Pokemon Company
When you tap the Pokéball and enter the Pokémon submenu, things can get disorganized quickly. Good news: There's a super easy way to organize it by a few different metrics.
Perhaps you'd like to organize it alphabetically, or by combat points? You totally can. Click the icon in the lower right hand corner of the main Pokémon menu and you'll find a few different ways of organizing your Pokémon. Convenient! Also, really helpful when you want to, say, decide which Pokémon you should power up (the one with the most CP already, obvz).
Use incense and a lucky egg at the same time to maximize efficiency!
The Pokemon Company
If you get a Lucky egg, it allows you to earn double experience points for 30 minutes. Two easy ways to earn a lot of XP points are by catching or evolving Pokémon. Catching a new Pokémon gives you 100 XP. Evolving Pokémon gives you 500 XP. When you have the Lucky Egg in play, you'll gain 200 XP for any new captures and 1,000 XP for any evolution.
If you have a lot of Pokémon to evolve wait to do it until you have a Lucky Egg.
Why add the incense or lure modules? Those attract Pokémon for 30 minutes exactly. Time a Lucky Egg to go at the same time as a Pokémon lure and start watching the experience points roll in as Pokémon after Pokémon comes to you.

Nah, you might only get grass/normal pokemon, but the CP of pokemon depends on your level.
