Why would a Pokemons CP show as "???"?
By Emma Johnson •
Normally when I encounter a Pokemon, it displays the CP. A Venomoth popped up and I engaged to catch it. This time the CP was shown as "???".
I eventually caught it and it's CP was 285. Was there any signifcance to why the CP was initially hidden?

The CP is hidden if it's higher than any Pokémon's CP that you have ever had in your possession. This is easily seen when starting out a new game, where all of the starter choices' CPs are hidden, despite being very low.
