Evolving Pokemon/Stats Question

[Aqueel]

Let's see....

- Player 1 has a Squirtle, with max IV's, evolves it as soon as he's able.

- Player 2 has a Squirtle, with max IV's, but doesn't evolve it until levels 99 and 100

They both end off with a level 100 Blastoise.

My question is....will the stats be the same?

Does evolving a Pokemon give a single-time stat boost, or does it give a small boost for each level after?

Their stats also depend on their EVs too. But assuming they have the same natures and EVs and same IVs... yes they will have the same stats.

Oh sweet. I hate the look of some of the evolved Pokemon, so I wanted to hold off as long as I could.

Thanks for the help ^^

Some Pokemon benefit from not evolving until later. Like Chimchar... he learns Nasty Plot at level 24 or something. You can then evolve him after he learns that.

And there's Mudkip who learns Hydro Pump at level 42... some stuff learn stuff when not evolving... which is cool.

Yeah, right, some pokemon that were evolved "too early" might miss some powerful moves that could be learned only in their unevolved forms, just like Roserade. If Roselia evolve before level 43, Roserade will not learn Petal Dance and Aromatherapy. i experienced this

like salamance, you can learn dragon claw at lvl 49 when it's a bagon. instead of waiting 20 something levels to get dragon claw.

Yeah, the other reason I wanted to keep them de-evolved was so they would learn awesome moves faster. I was just worried if they would turn out weaker due to this =/
