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?

Data Source: This is an original data set by OpenIntro.

• 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.

• 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.
