What is CPM in Pokémon GO?
CP Multiplier — the level-dependent scalar in the CP formula. Ranges from 0.094 (L1) to 0.8653 (L50).
CP Multiplier — the level-dependent scalar in the CP formula. Ranges from 0.094 (L1) to 0.8653 (L50).
CPM is the only level-dependent value in the CP formula. Each level (and half-level — yes, half-levels exist) maps to a specific multiplier. L1 = 0.094, L20 = 0.5974, L40 = 0.7903, L50 = 0.8653.
CPM scales sub-linearly — going from L20 to L40 only roughly multiplies CP by 1.32, not 2×. Each power-up costs progressively more dust + candy as CPM grows.
Best Buddy adds +1 effective level, which is +0.0125 CPM at the high end — about 1.5% more CP. Lucky doesn't change CPM, only halves the dust cost of every power-up.
