Do stat boosts ("buffs") survive faints or switches in Pokemon Go Battle League?

Fighting in Go Battle League, if my Pokemon gets a stat boost (e.g., increased/decreased attack/defense), and the opponent subsequently faints or switches, does my Pokemon still have the buff?

Attack and Defense stats changes are now cleared after swapping during combat.

As confirmed in official https://pokemonblog.com/2020/01/24/new-pokemon-go-update-version-0-131-0-and-0-165-0-now-live-on-ios-and-android-full-patch-notes-revealed/ .

Buffs are reset only on the switched Pokemon. If your own Pokemon stays on the field its buffs are retained.
Nothing will ever reset your own buffs if the opponent's Pokemon is switched or faints.

HP = (Base Stamina + Stamina IV) * Level(CPScalar) CP = (Base Atactk + Attack IV) * (Base Deffense + Deffense IV)^0.5 * (Base Stamina + Stamina IV)^0.5 * Level(CPScalar)^2 / 10 I found this formula off of multiple IV calculator sites. However using a site like Poké Assistant is easier than making an app and more reliable. This formula isn't perfect, and if you don't know what some of these mean they can be found online as well. (If you need a simpler formula, or don't know how to find these values, again it can be easier to use a website).

At this moment, leaderboards aren't in the game. But these kind of features may be implemented as part of an update later on.

Via PokemonGo DB, it describes the three sources to obtain Stardust In Pokémon Go, Stardust can be collected by capturing wild Pokémon and hatching Eggs. Unlike Candy, which is used to Power Up and Evolve a Pokémon specific to its evolution line, Stardust can be used to Power Up any captured Pokémon. Players with defending Pokémon at a Gym, will get a 'Defender Bonus' and be rewarded with Stardust and Pokécoins

The only thing that appears to affect CP decay is the original CP of the pokemon. If its CP >= 3000, it will lose 10% of its original CP per hour. If its CP < 3000, it will lose ~1% of its original CP per hour. Numbers from this Reddit thread

All Pokemon who level up gain AV values As stated by Bulbapedia At each level-up, a Pokémon will gain one AV on a random stat. Awakening values And Serebii While each level you will get a random AV with each level up... Pokémon Stats Each Level up will give your Pokemon 1 random AV on any stat, it's just that the game will only show the stats growth from the Pokemon that is in battle, all other team members stats change are not shown like in previous games.

Yes, they do. Once you catch one, look at their record in your Pokemon list and you'll see a button in the middle labeled "Evolve". Next to it is the number of the specific candies needed to evolve them. You get the candies 2 ways: By catching more Pokemon of that same family (such as Rattata and Raticate), this gives 3 candies By "Transfer"'ing duplicate pokemon to Professor Willow (By clicking the "Transfer" button at the far bottom of the same screen). This gives 1 candy

A Pokémon's base stat total not increasing after evolution happens in only two cases: Scyther evolving into Scizor, which trades 40 base Speed for 20 base Attack and 20 base Defense. Scizor has the same base stat total as Scyther, making Scizor the only "side evolution" in Pokémon. Nincada "evolving" into Shedinja, which trades 30 base HP and 45 base Defense for 45 base Attack. Thanks to Shedinja's Wonder Guard ability and its fixed 1 HP, its Defense and Special Defense stats are essentially not used. Shedinja still loses 30 base stat total compared to Nincada, however

From my observations of playing the game and spinning at least 2 Pokespots most days, as well as talking to my friends', the chance of receiving a gift appears to be about a 30% or 33% chance of receiving a gift when spinning a Pokespot or Gym. This chance appears to be identical for both Pokespots and Gyms. Answering your other questions, also based on my observations: You can only receive at most 1 gift per spin You can obtain another gift from the same Pokespot when you spin it again at the normal rate Defending team for a gym makes no difference If a Pokespot gives or doesn't give a gift to you, that doesn't affect the chance of another person receiving it No bonuses for receiving multiple gifts in a row

You do not need to be at the gym, you can collect your bonus from any location in the shop screen by tapping the shield icon on the top right.

Yes, as annoying as it is, it's fairly normal these days when the game is getting released to more and more countries. You can keep trying to log in or just follow some of these community pages to get notified when server issues are fixed. https://twitter.com/PokemonGoApp https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/4t5pfd/server_status_and_known_issues_faq/

Source: https://pokemongo.gamepress.gg/guide-using-incense Incense pulls from the biome you are in when the spawn occurs. The Incense spawns will resemble what usually spawns in the area… similar amount of weather boosting, similar frequency of 2nd and 3rd evolutions, and similar species. Note that this does not mean Incense will give the same Pokémon you get from a specific nest. Incense only pulls from biome and ignores nest information. If Incense is used in a remote area with no defined biome, a wide variety of random Pokémon can spawn. TL;DR It will attract pokemons that are naturally going to spawn in the area. If there are no "natural" pokemons, random pokemons are attracted

How many unique Pokemon are there? Please see the most up-to-date and continually updated answer to If I start now, can I catch every Pokémon in Pokémon Go? If there is less than 250, is there any point to having more than 1 of any given Pokemon? Candy In order to power up your Pokemon and evolve, you need candy. Candy is one of two main resources involved with powering up, evolving, and gaining a secondary charge move. Catching provides candy based on the evolution stage: 3 candy for base stage 5 candy for second stage 10 candy for third stage Raiding Since the release of Pokemon Go, raiding has become one of the major aspect of the games. While batting the raid boss, having multiple of the same Pokemon can provide a boost when it comes to exploiting type advantage (e.g. 6 Aura-Sphere Lucarios vs Tyranitar) PvP Pokemon Go has PvP battle leagues, all of which have different thresholds of allowed CP. There are many top-meta Pokemon, such as Registeel and Swampert, which perform well in various leagues. In PvP, one benefit to having multiple of the same Pokemon is to have a variety of CP ranges to have one in each league.
