Yeah the semi circle bar/arch is a graphic representation of what their CP is and its potential range. It's why super low ones with 10cp don't have any of the bar filled while big beefy ones are close to full. So for stuff that you are regularly sharding, Zubats, Rattatas, Pidgeys etc, just keep the ones who's bars are almost full as they will evolve the strongest.
Damn wish I knew this earlier, thanks though :) Makes sense!

Just on this,

The bar is linked to your level.

Example- you catch a Pidgey at trainer level 12 with the bar 3/4 full and at 120, when you level up to level 17 and check out that same pidgey the bar will have regressed backwards but will still be 120.

Its why when you evolve a Pokémon the CP goes up but the bar will stay in the same place.

At the moment the whole game revolves around your trainer level, the higher that is the higher CP your Pokémon can have.

I'm not wasting my time on taking gyms anymore.
Not wasting your time with gyms anymore... until you hatch a monster Snorlax who will crush everything in its path and be almost impossible to dislodge once you place it.

The question is, do you sit it somewhere or just using it to wreak havoc where ever you go?

So this Pidgeotto I have been waiting to level to max CP but I keep getting a "need to be a higher level trainer" message will never actually go the full way? I should just evolve the bastard?

6 decent Pokemon will take that Snorlax out no worries. That's the problem.

Haven't unleashed yo momma on the world... yet! :D

Evolve now.

Each level you gain you can upgrade the CP one more go. It will never be 100% full

I think So.... People are still finding out how it works and there is a lot of misinformation around.

I just read the subreddits now and then. Pokémon Go and Silph Road.

If people on iphone are having issues with 'pokeball freeze' as the pokeball hits the pokemon in teh head and is about to get it inside, swipe up the tool menu from teh bottom of your phone, leave it up for a couple of seconds then swipe it donw. Seems to avoid the freeze issues somehow

So much time used on this Pidgeotto then when it could have been a glorious Pidgeot!

Does anyone actually use Razz berries? I've thrown away about 50 of them.
I always use them when the circle is orange or red. If its a pokemon I haven't gotten yet and green or yellow I'll use it also. Probably doesn't do much but it's placebo effect is nice.

Try to keep my item numbers at 60 for healing items, 40 for berries, as many as possible for egg incubators, incense and lures, and the rest are pokeballs/ great balls.
