Does Pokemon: GO indicate that you've powered up a Pokemon?
One factor that's involved in guessing the IV's of a Pokemon is whether or not you have powered it up. This is apparently due to the fact that it takes two power-ups to raise your Pokemon one level, but wild Pokemon never half a "half" level.
Just looking at my list, I don't always remember if I have leveled some of my Pokemon up yet. While the difference doesn't appear to be significant, it would be useful to know.
Is there any indicator in the UI that you have powered up a given Pokemon before? (I checked the journal and didn't see anything there).
Best Answer
Have you considered renaming your Pokémon after leveling them up? You could, for instance, simply add a "+" to the Pokemon's name to keep track.

What happens when you power up a Pokemon go?
Power up is a game mechanic in Pok\xe9mon GO that allows Trainers to strengthen their Pok\xe9mon by increasing their CP level. It has no effect on the Individual Values. Powering up Pok\xe9mon in the first 40 levels consumes Stardust and Candy with amounts depending on their level.What changes when you power up a Pokémon?

Don't bother powering up your Pokemon until you reach Trainer Level 20 at the very least. That's the point when it starts getting much harder to level up your trainer. (You need 25,000 XP to go from level 19 to 20, but 50,000 XP to get to level 21 and 75,000 XP for level 22.)Does powering up a Pokémon change its stats?

The CP and HP changes are reflected through animations shown on the Pok\xe9mon's summary screen.9 Things that MIGHT Get Added to Pokemon GO Soon
