They do , besides a little overflow before it notices . The weird thing is you cant use for example tier 2 crystals to bring up tier 1 ' s to tier 2 , since itll keep trying to go to tier 3 . <| sep |> That seems the way it is but if anything they would have to also make the evolutions IV decent at least for it to be worth it . I would rather get more candies to evolve a good iv anything than find a 3 rd evolution poke with bad ivs that I ' ll transfer anyways . But again it really depends on the rarity as I ' d get any Snorlax to get the candy . So maybe we can get more candy the rarer the poke is ? <| sep |> So you ' re saying you can win 66 % of the time even when you begin the game not really trying , and start losing ? Sounds like it would incredibly easy for you to climb . 60 % win rate is more than enough to shoot up ranks . How much better would your winrate be if you tried from the start ? Your own description disagrees with your conclusion .
