Is it better to evolve Pokemon with higher CP?

At first the only indication that one Pokémon is better than another is its “CP” rating. ... It pays to keep and evolve only the best Pokémon you find.

How do you get a perfect IV in Pokemon Go?

• Tap Appraise. After a short message, a graph displaying your Pokémon’s IVs will appear. If the stamp above the graph has three stars and a red stamp, you’ve got yourself a perfect IV Pokémon. Three stars and an orange stamp is just short of perfect, but still very high and worth using.
