GamePress

Meltan Dilemna

I have a Meltan that Gamepress can't evaluate.

Values are clear, CP 650, 86 HP, 4k dust. Sparky's evaluation says Room for Improvement on Stats, Defense is Best, and it's the best he's ever seen (so Def = 15). When I go to evaluate the pokemon, Gamepress just says OOPS. But I can clearly see all these values.

Somewhen ago, I did an evaluation somewhere and came up with 0 Stamina, 1 Attack, 15 Defense. But GP says that combination is CP 646. A 2 Attack brings it up to 651. But if I evolve those two possibilities and power up 1.5 levels, the first goes to 2497, and the second to 2508. But of course, both have to be wrong, because I'm at 650, not 651, Sparky says I have a 15 Defense, and if the stamina goes above 0, it gains a Hit Point that it doesn't have. Thus, something broken in the evaluation (and yes, I tried to check powered up, didn't help).

Any advice appreciated. Don't want to spend 400 Meltan candy to evolve to find out that it just tops over 2500 when powered up, especially when I have one that would evolve to 2493 when powered up one level (not 1.5).

You need to have an IV calculator that can calculate "legacy stats". Pokegenie, for example, has this feature.

I just plugged your numbers into my app. Your meltan is level 25 with 1/15/0 IVs as you thought. Evolving it will take it to CP 2355 and it could be powered up to level 26.5 for a CP of 2497.

Cool, thanks. Almost ideal for getting the most out of it by maxing defense and minning attack. Interesting.

If you have a pokemon unable to be evaluated, power up 1x to set the stats to new values.

Would evolving also reset the stats? (Of course, I understand the OP's reluctance to evolve)
