"It's Saturday please be merciful: PoGo questions you've always wondered about but were afraid to ask:"

#PokemonGO: So I have a couple questions I've been wondering about for months but can't find definitive answers to online:How does leveling up affect pokemon stats? So I understand that every pokemon has base stats and that raising CP is a good thing. I also know that pokemon gain HP when you level. Do they also gain other stats as well (attack/defense) gradually over power-ups or are their base stats set from the beginning? What do the gains look like? How much will powering up my 3200CP dragonite attacker to 3500CP impact his effectiveness (Damage dealt, damage absorbed etc)?So I understand that to train/prestige effectively, I need to have my highest attacker be 500CP lower than the lowest defender. Is that all there is to it? Does bringing a team of 2-3 trainers + sandbagging the rest of my lineup with 10CP weedles benefit me at all or is it just strictly highest attacker vs lowest defender?Can anything truly spawn anywhere? Like, I know snorlax can spawn pretty much anywhere but I've never seen a wild Dragonite, Hitmonlee/chan or Chansey in over 12,000 catches. via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2iPQ9Mc
