You’d be forgiven if you thought that once you’ve caught one copy of a Pokémon, you’re all set. But in Pokémon Go, the point is to catch as many of each as you can and every Pokémon possible — for good reason. The only way to power up and evolve your Pokémon is by feeding them candies and stardust, which are collected by catching Pokémon, hatching Pokémon, and by transferring them to Professor Willow.
Transferring them is not reversible; you won’t be able to get transferred Pokémon back. Only deposit the weaker extras of the same Pokémon, and hold on to the strongest one.
Evolving your Pokémon with candies: Evolving your Pokémon is one of the main goals of the game, but it takes effort. In order to evolve, say, an Eevee, you will need 50 Eevee candies. Every Eevee you catch nets you three candies, and transferring them grants you another per transferred Pokémon. So, for each extra Eevee you catch and transfer, you get four candies, meaning you’ll need to catch about 13 Eevees in total to evolve just one.
(Note about evolving Eevees: Unlike in the main Pokémon video games, which require you to give Eevee a special elemental stone to evolve it into either Flareon (fire), Vaporeon (water), or Jolteon (electric), Pokémon Go randomizes your Eevee evolution. However, Redditors have seemingly stumbled on a trick to ensure you get the evolution you’re after: by naming your Eevee one the names of three characters in the Pokémon anime series — Sparky (electric), Rainer (water), or Pyro (fire) — you can reportedly force them to evolve into the Eeveelution corresponding with their nickname’s element).
Different Pokémon evolutions require different amounts of candies. Evolving a Ghastly to Haunter, for example, only requires 25 Ghastly candies, whereas evolving a Haunter to a Gengar will require another 100 Ghastly candies. If you want to evolve a Magikarp to a Gyarados, you’ll need a whopping 400 Magikarp candies (about 100 Magikarps). Candies only come in basic Pokémon varieties, and are rewarded for catching any Pokémon in a particular evolutionary chain.
While catching so many copies of the same Pokémon may sound tedious at first, it becomes addictive, especially when you consider that evolving your Pokémon greatly increases their combat points (CP) and hit points (HP) making them more effective in battle. For a deeper explanation on CP and powering up your Pokémon, see the next section. However, if your main goal is simply to collect and evolve Pokémon rather than train them for battle, you can largely ignore that aspect of the game.
