I did some tests to determine the stats increase when evolving. I tested three Pidgeys (requires 12 candy per pidgey), and 1 weedle (requires 12 candy).
Data (note, at first I only recorded the CP stat, but realized the other stats could have a play in other stat increases, like higher weight having an effect on the CP increase):
Weedle (CP: 79) -> Kakuna (CP: 85) net increase (CP: 6).
Pidgey (CP: 115) -> Pidgeotto (CP: 214, HP: 48, Weight: 30kg, Height: 1.3m) (CP increased by 99)
Pidgey (CP: 110, HP: Unknown, Weight 1.78kg, Height 0.29m) -> Pidgeotto (CP: 210, HP: 44, Weight 4.04kg, Height 1.05m) (CP increased by 100)
Pidgey (CP: 110, HP: 31, Weight: 2.2kg, Height: 0.32m) -> Pidgeotto (CP: 208, HP: 47, Weight: 4.87kg, Height: 1.17m) (CP increased by 98)
My initial hypothesis was that higher CP means lower increase of CP when evolving. This is false, as shown by the Pidgeys.
It could instead be that higher weight gives a lower CP increase (this seems very unlikely, from a programming perspective).
What I am currently inclined to think, is that the combat point increase is random, but varies for each Pokemon. Those three pidgeys on average gained 99 CP. The Weedle gained an average of 6 CP.
I would highly encourage people to perform the same tests that I have (I recommend with abundant pokemon like Pidgeys), and post their data (even better, in the same format I did), because these sample sizes are very small, and it would be nice to understand mechanics like these.
