Evolving first is generally recommended as it allows you to see the evolved Pokémon's moveset and its potential for battle. This strategy helps you save Stardust and Candies, which are resources better spent on Pokémon with higher battle utility. Powering up a Pokémon after evolving ensures you're investing in Pokémon with the best possible moves and stats for your team.
