Best Answer

I caught a Pigeoto and evolved a Pidgey but the wild one was still stronger; plus the wild one has better attacks. I do not understand it. Might as well evolve the wild Pigeoto at some point and just power up to max CP.

Is it better to evolve or catch evolved Pokemon?

The advantage gained is improved stats. The evolved form of a Pokemon has better stats than its earlier forms. However, when you evolve your Pokemon their stats are recalculated from level 1. So your fully evolved Pokemon will have the same stats at level 100 regardless of which level you evolve it at.

Should you evolve Pokemon right away Pokemon go?

You should always evolve a Pok\xe9mon fully when you can - so, a Geodude all the way through Graveler to a Golem - because otherwise the time it takes to earn another 100 Candy for your respective Pok\xe9mon will likely see you level up enough to catch a higher Level version.
