Pokemon-go – Can the same Pokemon have a different max CP in Pokemon Go

pokemon-go

For instance if me and my friend had a Pidgeot and we powered them all the way up. Could mine end up with like 525 and his at like 500?

If you and your friend are the same player level, no. Max CP is based solely on player level and type of Pokemon. Each Pokemon has the same max CP at the same player level. If you max out 2 Pidgeys they will have the same CP. As Joe pointed out there can be a difference in HP. I'm fairly sure this is based on size and weight (XL vs XS), but those minuscule amounts of health don't amount to much in a gym battle.
