Does trainer level affact evolution CP?

[Illusionss]

For example if I evolved a 700 CP Charmeleon at trainer level 25 would it be the same CP when evolved if I were to evolve to evolve it at trainer level 30 instead?

Also what are pokemon levels? People have been mentioning level 20 or 21 ect when referring to the pokemon I thought there was only CP and no pokemon levels unless trainer level is also the same level as the pokemon?

Thanks in advance

if you power up your pokemon then its CP increases, each time you power it up it goes up by 0.5 levels. If you power it up enough you will reach the maximum level for your trainer level and will need to level up your trainer level.
If you dont power up a pokemon it will stay the same CP whatever level you are.
If any of that isnt clear then i can write up some examples

Only max CP is affected by increased trainer level, and that is to permit the use of stardust to power it up.

Evolving a 700CP Pokemon at 25 or 30 will therefore have the same CP end result, except at Level 30, max CP attainable would be increased by five levels.

Here's my understanding:

At level 30 you have maxed out on CP with what could possibly be caught in the wild though max cp for evolved and hatched pokemone will continue to increase ever so slightly with each level.

Since I catch a fair amount of Eevee's I have watched my Vaporeon evolves go from 1200 to 1900ish from levels 15(roughly) thru 25 (I'm grinding thru 26 currently). Considering how many pokes I've evolved I firmly believe that the resulting evolution cp *IS* effected by your level. I tested that with a couple of pidgeys a few levels back that had the same, or nearly the same CPs where I evolved one, leveled, and then evolved the next. I saw a decent bump in the evolved CP after I leveled so IMO the evolved poke's CP is definitely influenced by your level.

Maximum CP will be the same for all individual Pokémon, regardless of your current level and the Pokémon's current CP ceiling.

Every Pokémon can go from level 1 through level 40, with the Pokémon's CP ceiling equivalent to your player level +1.5 until level 40.

This means if you're level 25, the highest level any Pokémon you own can be 26.5. If you're level 10, the highest Pokémon you can own is 11.5. If you're 30, then 31.5, etc., capping out at 40.

As an example, if you're level 20 and you have a perfect Vaporeon, its CP ceiling will be CP1729 at level 21.5. When it reaches this point, attempting to further power it up will result in the message that your player level is too low. Now when you reach level 21, then you can further power this same Vaporeon to level 22.5, or CP1810.

This mechanic WILL NOT change for any Pokémon whatsoever. This isn't a mystery. This is just how the game works.

If you're level 25 and you have a level 23 Magikarp at around CP170, evolving it will yield a level 23 Gyarados around CP1700. Evolving a perfect IV capped level 26.5 Magikarp of CP198 will yield a Gyarados of the same level and cap, which would be CP2035.

Essentially, if you evolve any Pokémon that is currently maxed at its CP ceiling, it will evolve into a Pokémon also maxed at its CP ceiling. It doesn't matter what YOUR level is. It is all dependent on the Pokémon's current level. Though, of course, the Pokémon's level and CP ceiling are dependent on your current level.

Again, there are zero mysteries involved here. These are basic mechanics in this game.

Also:

At level 30 you have maxed out on CP with what could possibly be caught in the wild though max cp for evolved and hatched pokemone will continue to increase ever so slightly with each level.

I covered how evolving works. CP is dependent on the individual Pokémon's level at that time.

Fact: yes, at level 30 the cap for wild Pokémon CP is maxed out.

Not fact: hatched Pokémon CP will continue to increase with each level.

Hatched Pokémon by default will not exceed level 20. This means it doesn't matter if you're level 20 or level 40. Any Pokémon you hatch will not exceed level 20. This means no hatching CP3000 Snorlax. The highest hatched Snorlax you'd be able to get at any point in the game is
CP1778 with 100% perfect IVs.

your eevee's are giving better evolutions because you are catching them at a higher level, you can continue to do this until level 30 when you will reach the highest level of wild pokemon.
As an example if you had a perfect IV vaporeon you got at level 20 and powered it up as you have gone up through the levels it would have the same CP as a perfect IV vaporeon you evolved from a maxed eevee you caught at level 26

I didn't know that so thank you for setting me straight on that point even though I'm kinda bummed to hear the news :).

How do you think I feel {XD} I'm level 30. For the last 10 levels I couldn't hatch anything higher than what could find in the wild... namely those that become high tier Pokémon like Exeggcute, Dratini, Eevee. Hatched Exeggcutes cap around CP600 while I can catch CP900+ ones in the wild. Eevees can barely scrape mid-CP500s through eggs while I can catch wild ones well above CP800.

I only look forward to hatching starters, Growlithe and Bellsprout really since it's really difficult (or even impossible due to bugs?) to find ones in the wild with high IV combinations. And of course mythical rares like Snorlax, Lapras and Chansey since it won't ever hurt to have more of them.

It is influenced, but in the idea that your level increases the ceiling. I'll clarify that when I said 'max CP' earlier, I had meant the ceiling CP at the current trainer level. There is a set limit on how strong a Pokemon can be CP-wise without considering IV values.

So if you have a 100CP Pidgey at Level 5, and you evolve it at trainer Level 10 (without having given it Stardust or anything), it will still have the CP of an evolved Level 5 100CP Pidgey, but its CP ceiling will be increased. At level 30, you reach the ceiling max that can be found in the wild. The Silph Road had a pretty good chart about this. As mentioned above, it has to do with the Pokemon's level at the time of capture. It won't simply jump a bijillion levels if you're a higher trainer level than when you caught or hatched the Pokemon. However, the higher your trainer level, the higher-CP'd Pokemon you can find, until you reach that trainer Level 30 threshold (and Level 20 for eggs, as also mentioned above).

I do not believe if you evolve a 100CP Pidgey caught at Level 5 at Level 10 that it will receive a higher CP value; rather, its ceiling will have simply been increased. You will need to use Stardust to make it comparable to a Pidgey caught at a higher trainer Level 10 with a higher default base CP. This is why I encourage people not to use Stardust right away and to bank it until you're in the mid-20s at the very earliest.

Leveling up isn't something that happens to Pokemon in Pokemon Go-- it only happens to you, the Trainer, and it's the main thing that gates off features and mechanics in this game. Every action gets you XP, so Trainer level, not Pokemon strength, is really the best measure of how far you've progressed in the game.

Actually a pokemon gets half a level for each power up, and when your trainer level goes up by 1, you can power-up your pokemon two more times each. The level of your pokemon can be up to 1.5 levels above your trainer level, so at trainer level 25, you can have pokemons anywhere between level 1 and level 26.5.
