How do I calculate the maximum CP for a Pokémon at my trainer level?
I know that there are tables that show the absolute maximum CP of each Pokémon, but that's only valid when you are level 40. How do you calculate a Pokémon's maximum CP when you are, let's say, level 24?
Best Answer
A trainer can only have a Pokémon that has a level 1.5 higher than the trainers level. For example, a level 23 trainer, can only have Pokémon at level 24.5. Knowing this, you can determine the CP multiplier for that Pokémon by looking it up in an article at GamePress.
Next, you'll have to look up the base stats for the Pokémon you're working with. GamePress also has a list of Pokémon stats.
Once you know all of that, you can plug the data into the following equation.
Max CP = ((BaseAttack + 15) * (BaseDefense + 15)^0.5 * (BaseStamina + 15)^0.5 * CPMultiplier^2) / 10
Example:CPMultiplier = 0.661219261BaseAttack = 126BaseDefense = 126BaseStamina = 90
Max CP level 24.5 Bulbasaur = ((126 + 15) * (126 + 15)^0.5 * (90 + 15)^0.5 * (0.661219261)^2) / 10Max CP level 24.5 Bulbasaur = (141 * (141)^0.5 * (105)^0.5 * 0.4372) / 10Max CP level 24.5 Bulbasaur = (141 * 11.8743 * 10.2470 * 0.4372) / 10Max CP level 24.5 Bulbasaur = 7500.9161 / 10Max CP level 24.5 Bulbasaur = 750
So if you have a level 24.5 Bulbasaur with perfect IVs, it will have a CP of 750.
A spreadsheet formula looks like this
=MAX(10,FLOOR((BaseAttack + 15) * (POWER(BaseDefense + 15,0.5) * POWER(BaseStamina + 15,0.5) * POWER(CPMultiplier,2))/10))
If you notice, 15 is being added to each of the base stats. This is the maximum IV value. If you want to see what a Pokémon looks like with different IVs, simply replace the 15 with whatever IV value you want.
While online tools for this are nice, it can be useful to be able to do the maths yourself.
If you want to calculate the HP, the formula for that is below.
=MAX(10,FLOOR(CPMultiplier * (BaseStamina + IndividualStamina),1))

How do you determine Max CP?
Your Max CP of a Pokemon is also based on your level, it will increase if your level goes up. And the same Pokemon could have a different CP max. Some have more potential for growth than others. So there isn't really a way to accurately determine what the max CP of a pokemon is.Does Max CP depend on trainer level?
CP and the difficulty of catching a Pok\xe9mon is usually correlated, although this also depends on the species in question. The higher the level a Trainer is, the higher the CP of a Pok\xe9mon can be.How is Pokemon CP calculated?
The CP ("combat power") is calculated based off the Pok\xe9mon species' base values, the power up level, and three hidden numbers called "IVs" (individual values.) 1.) Base values are higher for more powerful Pok\xe9mon, such as fully evolved Pok\xe9mon or Legendary Pok\xe9mon.HOW IVS, CP \u0026 LEVELS WORK IN POKEMON GO | POKEMON STATS ULTIMATE GUIDE!
