If you don't let a Pokemon evolve, is it weaker?

I have a lv. 63 pidove and it is very weak since when ever it levels up it only gets about 1 point for attack, speed, hp, defense, ect.

I have a level 56 krookadile and and he gets about 3 points when he levels up. He is fully evolved. Pidove is not.

If you don’t let a Pokemon evolve, is it weaker?

is there anything I can do with pidove to fix the problem without evolving it?

A Pokemon that isnt evolved is always weaker then a Pokemon that is. Stats are much lower meaning that an evolved Pokemon is always more powerful. Some things you may do that could help would be EV train your pidove, it always helps increase stats, also giving it vitamins that may increase stats and maybe giving it a powerful moveset.

Hope I helped

Generally, it is best to evolve your Pokemon, as they usually acquire higher stats, more level up moves, TM moves, and sometimes get better abilities. However, there are some reasons you may consider to not to evolve your Pokemon.

If they have good bulk, they may utilize the item Eviolite, which allows you to boost an unevolved Pokemon’s Defenses by 1.5x. This is handy on Dusclops and Chansey.

If they have better stats unevolved in a certain area. For example, Magneton has better Speed than its evolved form, Magnezone. Similar situation for Scyther as well.

Perhaps an unevolved form has access to a STAB that you like, like Scyther’s Flying STAB. This isn’t used too much, to be honest.
