Niantic recently added the "Pokemon GO" Appraisal System to its insanely-famous game for players to better understand their Pokemon. However, reports suggest the system is actually confusing them more as Pokemon with even low Combat Points (CP) are still being rated good.
However, the "Pokemon GO" Appraisal does not consider Pokemon CP because it is already visible in the game. The system analyses a Pokemon's potential based on its Individual Values. To make it simpler, the stat system gauges a Pokemon's future strength at peak levels and not its current status.
In fact, the "Pokemon GO" Appraisal system is pretty awesome as it allows players to analyze which of the Pokemon are a keeper and which ones are better traded off for candy. Thus, a clever player's objective should be to keep all Pokemon with best potential.
Thus, a "Pokemon GO" player must maximize his/her effort on one strong Pokemon as the ones with awesome potential could well have better stats against other maxed out ones or its own species once it reaches its peak levels, writes The Bitbag.
A "Pokemon GO" player must consider a Pokemon's move-set as well as hidden Individual Values for maximum efficiency. Monitoring nerfs and buffs is also essential to capitalize on the best Pokemon.
The "Pokemon GO" Appraisal System will also aid players who got used to third-party apps. Implementing the system is a brilliant move on Niantic's part to ease up the backlash caused by the company's clean-up drive. The system would be most-beneficial for players looking to constantly capture and defend Pokemon Gyms for their teams.
Initially, players were data-mining the game simply to find Pokemon's Individual Values. Needless to say, the third-party apps were of immense help but were taken down as they were living on "Pokemon GO" live server data to work.
