Niantic adjusts Combat Power of many Pokémon in Go
When you log into Pokémon Go today you might notice some changes to the CP of your Pokémon. Niantic have buffed and nerfed a range of Pokémon meaning your most powerful Pokemon might not be anymore.
Pokémon that have been known to be a little underpowered like Alakazam, Rhydon, and Gengar have been buffed. Whereas Pokémon like Arcanine, Blastoise, Poliwrath, and Victreebell among others got the nerf.
The fine folks at The Silph Road have compiled a list, how accurate it is seems to be based off user reports and not actual data as such.
Going up: Alakazam(+++), Aerodactyl(++), Beedrill(++), Butterfree(+), Chansey(+++), Charizard(+), Cloyster(+++), Dodrio(++), Dugtrio(+), Electabuzz(+), Electrode(++), Fearow(+), Flareon(++), Hitmochan(+++), Hitmonlee(+++), Gengar(+++), Golem(+++), Gyarados(+++), Jolteon(+++), Jynx(+++), Kabutops(++), Kangaskhan, Kingler(+++), Machamp(+++), Magneton(+++), Marowak(+), Mr. Mime(+++), Muk(+), Omastar(++), Onix(+), Pinsir(+++), Primeape(++), Rapidash(+), Raticate(+), Rhydon(+++), Sandslash(+++), Seadra(++) Scyther(++), Snorlax(++), Starmie(++), Tangela(+++), Tauros(+++), Tentacruel(+), Vaporeon(+++), Venomoth(++)
