Pokémon Go Evolutions
Overview
A key part of Pokémon Go is using evolutions to get stronger Pokémon, and a deeper understanding of evolutions is key to being the greatest Pokémon Go player of all time. This data set covers 75 Pokémon evolutions spread across four species. A wide set of variables are provided, allowing a deeper dive into what characteristics are important in predicting a Pokémon's final combat power (CP).
Example research questions: (1) What characteristics correspond to an evolved Pokémon with a high combat power? (2) How predictable is CP from an evolution?
Variables
- name: A unique name given to the Pokémon
- species: The Pokémon's type, e.g. Pidgey.
- cp: Pre-evolution Combat Power, which is a summary of the Pokémon's strength for battling prior to the evolution of the Pokémon.
- hp: Pre-evolution Hit Points, which is a summary of how difficult it is to weaken the Pokémon in a battle.
- weight: Pre-evolution weight, in kilograms.
- height: Pre-evolution height, in meters.
- power_up_stardust: Pre-evolution stardust required to power up the Pokémon.
- power_up_candy: Pre-evolution candy required to power up the Pokémon.
- attack_weak: The name of the pre-evolution weaker attack of the Pokémon.
- attack_weak_type: The type of the pre-evolution weaker attack.
- attack_weak_value: The damage done by the pre-evolution weaker attack.
- attack_strong: The name of the pre-evolution stronger attack.
- attack_strong_type: The type of the pre-evolution stronger attack.
- attack_strong_value: The damage done by the pre-evolution stronger attack.
- cp_new: Post-evolution Combat Power.
- hp_new: Post-evolution Hit Points.
- weight_new: Post-evolution weight, in kilograms.
- height_new: Post-evolution height, in meters.
- power_up_stardust_new: Post-evolution stardust required to power up the Pokémon.
- power_up_candy_new: Post-evolution candy required to power up the Pokémon.
- attack_weak_new: The name of the post-evolution weaker attack.
- attack_weak_type_new: The type of the post-evolution weaker attack.
- attack_weak_value_new: The damage done by the post-evolution weaker attack.
- attack_strong_new: The name of the post-evolution stronger attack.
- attack_strong_type_new: The type of the post-evolution stronger attack.
- attack_strong_value_new: The damage done by the post-evolution stronger attack.
