However, from my experience, the CP is not all that random, having run 100 bots simultaneously in the same region, I'd often find the same pokemon with same IV and same CP on roughly every 3rd account. Still that's not enough to be able to predict the CP of a pokemon.
You just gotta hunt a specific good pokemon and hope to catch it high CP, or catch enough to power it up.
Just go for Gyarados, Lapras, Snorlax, Dragonite and you'll end up with strong ones for Gym battles.
