But to answer your question more fully, powering them up before evolving is no better than powering them up after evolving. It will result in the same number. This is the result of extensive testing with pidgies and ratatas. It does, however, make a difference what your level is. A, say, 200 CP pidgie will evolve higher if you are level 15 than if you are level 12. Your level matters more.
