From what I read, the max of that needle is based on your trainer level. As your level increases, so does that room between the point and the max.
so for example,if your trainer is at level 10, 2 pikachus at identical cp 100 will have identical positions on the needle scale. There was a good explaination on reddit but i cant seem to find it.
Here are 2 identical magikarps i have at CP 116
You can see that both points on the scale are identical
Edit:
Also, the way I determine if it will have a high cp after evolving is based on how much stardust it is power it. It seems that regardless of which evolution you are on, the stardust cost seems to be consistent. I could be wrong but from what i have noticed, this seems to be the case.
Heres an example with really rough numbers,
Pidgey at CP 100 cost 500 stardust to increase to a total of CP 150. After evolving to pidgeotto, it is now CP 300
Pidgey at CP 100 was evolved and is now Pidgeotto with CP 200. This pidgeotto will still cost 500 stardust to increase it to CP 300.
In the end Both pidgeys cost 500 stardust to bring it CP 300 regardless if it was powered up before or after the evolution.
Hopefully my explanation isnt confusing.
