Pokemon Go evolution help [duplicate]

I am new to this so would appreciate some guidance!

I have caught both a cp15 pidgeotto and a cp61 pidgey, will I loose the 61cp when I evolve the pidgey to pidgeotto? is the cp reset to minimum when a Pokemon evolves? Or should I just evolve the pidgey twice and keep the higher cp?

Many thanks, Tom

Evolving a pokemon will almost always give it more CP. So, when you evolve your pidgey to pidgeotto, it will have more than 61 CP and be stronger than your current pidgeotto. If you're looking to have a pidgeot as strong as possible, evolve the pidgey twice rather than the pidgeotto once.

As you level up, you will come up with pidgeys much stronger than 61 CP, so you may still want to replace that pidgeot later by evolving a stronger pidgey or pidgeotto.

ETA: Looking at this CP table, your pidgey is probably on level 4-4.5 and will have 184-250 CP when evolved all the way to pidgeot. Your pidgeotto is only on level 1, and would only have 24-29 CP if evolved to pidgeot.

ETA2: There are a few species of pokemon that lose CP when evolved. These are mostly bug pokemons evolved from caterpillar form to cocoon form.

Is there a reason to keep duplicate PokÃ©mon in Pokemon GO?

Don't Ignore DuplicatesCatching duplicates still nets you XP, as well as stardust and Pok\xe9mon-specific candy -- both of which are necessary for powering up and evolving your Pok\xe9mon.

What is the easiest way to get duplicates in Pokemon GO?

Get Rid of Extra Pokemons in Pokemon GO

Click on the Pokeball at the bottom of the screen.

Select the Pokemon you want to get rid of from the list of Pokemons.

Upon selection, the details page of the Pokemon will open.

Click on the \u201cTransfer\u201d button, again at the bottom of the screen.

And capturing the same Pok\xe9mon can also help you evolve the Pok\xe9mon that are not yet evolved and make your current Pok\xe9mon stronger. Every time you catch one, you get three candies for that specific Pok\xe9mon and 100 points of stardust.
