Combat Power — the rendered number above a Pokémon. CP = floor(Atk × √Def × √Sta × CPM² / 10).
CP (Combat Power) is the headline number Pokémon GO shows on every catch. It's computed from the species base stats, the IVs, and the level (via CPM, the CP multiplier).
The formula: CP = floor((Atk_total × √Def_total × √Sta_total × CPM²) / 10). Each stat_total is base + IV. CPM starts at 0.094 (L1) and caps at 0.8653 (L50). A hundo Mewtwo at L40 hits CP 4178; at L50 with Best Buddy it hits ~4724.
CP alone is a misleading rank for combat — two mons with the same CP can have wildly different effective stats based on the trade-off between Attack, Defense, and Stamina IVs.
