>>33116885unless its been changed since I was playing, its a a bad output based off of attack, defense, hp and level
its weighted towards attack (at a scale of being weighted twice as much as either defense or hp, in a sense) which means that just looking at cp never gives a good measure of how strong the pokemon is compared to a pokemon with a similar cp, because they could have arrived at the similar cp with a vastly different sum of stats and distribution
looking at its individual base stats is the best way to know its effectiveness
IVs just add onto those base stats some more
CP does not affect anything, its just a rough estimate of power (technically they affect decay rate but thats another ridiculous story)
so if all IVs actually ever did was increase CP, then they would be useless
theres a little more to it than this, but not very much
I haven't bothered to check the files in months, but I left the master decoding guide in the op ages ago if you want to check the base stats of the mons yourself
otherwise they'll be on gamepress or something
>>33116897look at this pic and tell me you can't answer that yourself
