So I was able to get 2 cp1000+ Pokemon instantly in the same time frame, managed to turn a very weak eveee into a strong flareon, I think level does play a huge part on how strong Pokemon you can find, but I was not expecting a weak evee to generate Soo much power. Take a look at this video and let me know what you guys think :) https://youtu.be/JHi54LDzIIM

For those that would rather not watch the video, it just demonstrates that evolving a Pokemon allows it's CP to multiply 1.5x, 2x or in rare cases 3x. There's a random factor involved.
