Tbh, just evolve and power up your faves! Who cares about stats when you can have fun with your dream team? #TeamCharizard
Don't power up or evolve any Pokémon until you're at least level 30. You'll catch higher CP Pokémon naturally as you level up.
I usually wait until I have enough candies for both powering up and evolving, plus I check if there's a double XP event coming up!
Evolve first, then power up to make the most efficient use of your resources. Evolving can sometimes give you a move set that suits battles better.
