Pokémon GO: 15 Crucial Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn't Tell You

8. Evolving Pokémon After Being Knocked Out Gives Them Full Health

I'll get to battling and gyms later on (the focus of PokéGO is adventuring and catching, after all), but say your favourite monster has taken a pasting - so much so they've been knocked out entirely.

Pokémon GO provides a slight twist on the norm, whereas formerly, evolving a Pokémon with zero health would bring it back with only the incremental difference between forms as the remaining amount, now evolving a knocked out Pokémon gives you a full health bar, as though you'd just caught them.

Point being: Don't ever waste unnecessary items like yellow potions to bring Pokémon back, when instead you could just plug the requisite Candy and Stardust to evolve them and get an all-new Pokémon instead.
