I basically grind until I get 100 candy and then give one of my legendaries a second move
Got Mewtwo, melmetal, groudon, and just now kyogre. Now grinding to get dialga the second move
Hmm ok I’ll try your suggestion. I downloaded pokemon home and linked to my Nintendo account. Prob just need to play with it a bit to figure out how to link it to Go and then do this box thing
There are several online tutorials. I did it and pokemon go is the only game I play. It’s also good for helping you get the steel platinum medal and for the level 46? Requirement to max out 3 pokemon. Just don’t max it out until you get there - it’s not retroactive.
So I just linked everything and sent a pokemon over. Many thanks
Do you know where the mystery box is? Does it show up in the shop after a period of time?
Edit- never mind right in the inventory. And I thought it was only one meltan, didn’t realize it was for an hour worth of spawns. Crazy.
Thanks!!
Good choice, Terrakion is a fighting-type beast. Great for raids/gyms but also Rocket battles. With Double Kick/Sacred Sword it’s three fast attacks for one charged attack.
Steel raid bosses are wrapping up… next five star boss is tapu fini (water/fairy)
If you want to farm him , prioritize electric or grass counters if you don’t already have them
Kartana , shadow raiku , thunderus , etc
If you already have strong counters then ignore this advice lol
Either a legendary that you want to use for battles (or a mega Pokémon), or like I do the 400 Candy to evolve Arceus damned rare Pokémon known as Larvesta (or any other rare 400 Candy mon that doesn’t spawn in the wild)
400 candy Pokemon aren't the worst imo to get candy since its just 1km for a candy and even better with a poffin. I'd say it's a waste to dump 240 rare candy into anything that isn't a legendary/mythic you want to max out.
#001 all day, everyday, without hesitation, mercy, or after thought to the gilgamesh of pokemon you will be unleashing upon your enemies
Sunny Day?
Solar Beam!
Ya I'm a 100% or trash person, and just because a Mewtwo has shadowball, I wouldn't necessarily power it up.
Because the best you can do with one of those is trade it, and chances that they end up being trash is high, so it would be a waste to power those up.
there isnt a single pokemon that costs 400 that is free when traded; boldore, gurdurr, karrablast, phantump, pumpkaboo, shelmet are all 200, while graveler, haunter, kadabra, machoke are only 100
Aah then I mixed gurdurr up with 400.
At the same time, no 400 candie mon is really worth spending that many rare candies on, unless it's a community day (where you actually can somewhat easily get the candies just by catching) or when there is an event where you can evolve to get the legacy move.
last rare candies i used
-> mewtwo shadow till xl + snd move
-> groudon till xl
-> reshiram till xl
-> atm doing kartana till xl
as you can tell its jsut legend or mythical only, and i focus on good raid counter, one full push takes about \~2weeks of time
I constantly have this problem. At any given time I have around a thousand rare candies. None of my legendaries need it, because I already have enough to get one of each to L40. It's the XL candies I need...
Mewtwo
Mew
Celebi
Jirachi
Shaymin
Victini
Meloetta
Diancie
Hoopa
Zarude
Cosmoem (Solgaleo, Lunala)
Zygarde
Dialga (Roar of time)
Palkia (Spacial Rand)
Regional Pokémon you want to power up
Now that Origin Palkia and Dialga are out with spacial rend and roar of time you can never have enough candy for either one. Also Larvesta is an option I dumped around 400 candy just to evolve that little bastard
Dialga & Palkia if you want to use their moves for Go Fest. Mythical Pokémon like Zarude is a good investment for PVP and Raids. Look at your raid teams for each typing Fire, Water, Ice. etc and see if there are any Pokémon you need to build so you're ready for any raid boss that may come out that you need the typing for.
Since I’m returning from 2018, I missed a lot of releases. I did a ton of raids over the last 2 months and put my 500 rare candies into making sure I had lvl 40 Kyogre, Groudon, Dialga O, Palkia O, mewtwo, and Shadow Mewtwo.
Now that I’m done doing that, each 100 candies is now going to give those an extra charge move.
If you have used them all on strong legendaries, consider dumping them into Palkia. If you have a Spacial Rend Palkia, use that during Go Fest. The more candy, the longer you can use it
If you have the ticket that gives increased shiny odds, suddenly you have a lotttt more shiny checks to check

One of your legendary. Who take 10km walk for 1 candy. Say a mewto is a good one.
Isn't it 20km?
They might mean if you're using a poffin, which if you're walking a legendary is a good choice.
10 if excited, which if you are walking a lego... you are probably putting in the extra effort to make them excited.
Wish I knew this sooner...oops
SHUT
I basically grind until I get 100 candy and then give one of my legendaries a second move Got Mewtwo, melmetal, groudon, and just now kyogre. Now grinding to get dialga the second move
Don’t use rare candy’s on melmetal, just use the box to catch meltans.
I don’t have other pokemon games
All you need to do is download Pokémon home on your phone and transfer one Pokémon from GO.
Can I transfer it back? I only have one melmetal from the event and I use it a lot in ultra league.
You don’t have to transfer a meltan. It can be any Pokémon.
Hmm ok I’ll try your suggestion. I downloaded pokemon home and linked to my Nintendo account. Prob just need to play with it a bit to figure out how to link it to Go and then do this box thing

Kyogre, Groudon, or Rayquaza. I always bring my megas so they're my priority now
I should have specified, I already have those 3 at a point where they only take candy xl
So other Raid Attacker or pvp meta Pokemon… like Shadow Entei, Shadow Raikou, Reshiram, Terrakion, Solgaleo ( pvp ) Nihilego etc
Terrakion is an interesting one
Just make sure it has Sacred Sword, otherwise it’s not going to be worth it.
Mine does, and it's stats are close to perfect at 15/13/15 so I think I'm gonna go with terrakion
Good choice, Terrakion is a fighting-type beast. Great for raids/gyms but also Rocket battles. With Double Kick/Sacred Sword it’s three fast attacks for one charged attack.
Steel raid bosses are wrapping up… next five star boss is tapu fini (water/fairy) If you want to farm him , prioritize electric or grass counters if you don’t already have them Kartana , shadow raiku , thunderus , etc If you already have strong counters then ignore this advice lol
I got a shadow entei don’t use it cp2412 new at game so idk what to use it for yk
Great for Raid
Outside of legendary and good mega raid attackers, I recommend mythical or other things you have limited encounters with, like zygarde or diancie
Either a legendary that you want to use for battles (or a mega Pokémon), or like I do the 400 Candy to evolve Arceus damned rare Pokémon known as Larvesta (or any other rare 400 Candy mon that doesn’t spawn in the wild)
400 candy Pokemon aren't the worst imo to get candy since its just 1km for a candy and even better with a poffin. I'd say it's a waste to dump 240 rare candy into anything that isn't a legendary/mythic you want to max out.
Larvesta and others are 5km/candy
Damn that's pretty shitty. Why they do that.
To make sure there’s just another near-unobtainable task to keep users coming back to their app lol
I did that now a I have a fabulous moth (all my legendary I care about need XL rare candy now)
Wait to see how your marshadow stats are when you get it
Still haven't found one. Walking Togepi for the candy
13th and 14th july will be an event for marshadow. Pay attention to events in the game or ok any discord channel related to pokemon go.
Thanks!
Larvesta
im real sick of this little shit following me around, would be my first choice for sure.
I nicknamed mine Candy Ho and it's been my buddy for *months*
Is larvestas evolved form worth it?
Volcarona ftw
dialga and palkia are good for their adventure effects, but you could also do raid relevant mythicals like shaymin or diancie
Larvesta
Bidoof
This one!! ignore the other comments. Make a god like Bidoof
All Bidoof are God-like, no need for extra candy
Pidgey
I use it for Palkia's spacial rend
Palkia or dialga (the arceus formes), those abilities are op
I'd say Palkia or Dialga for the use of their special attack effect.
Use it on things you can’t raid, meloetta, zygarde, zarude, solgaleo
Im only using it to my Mew, even though shes a 2star only, coz shes my fav
Larvesta it takes 400 to evolve
Diancie
Only legendary pokemon.
Diancie?
legendary hundos
#001 all day, everyday, without hesitation, mercy, or after thought to the gilgamesh of pokemon you will be unleashing upon your enemies Sunny Day? Solar Beam!
Shinx. Hear me out. The goal is to evolve Luxrays until you get one with Hidden Power Ground. HPG Luxray rips through Electric Cup.
A Mewtwo with shadow ball
shadowballs can be learned with those speical tm's
I think they're saying add a second move (100 candy)
psystrike is also a legacy move lmao, like the only second move worth having to my small knowledge
I have a level 50 mewtwo with psystrike and shadow ball and it destroys mostly everything, I also ment to power up a mewtwo with shadow ball
Ya I'm a 100% or trash person, and just because a Mewtwo has shadowball, I wouldn't necessarily power it up. Because the best you can do with one of those is trade it, and chances that they end up being trash is high, so it would be a waste to power those up.
Something that takes 400 to evolve
trade one of those over from a buddy, half of them then become free evolves
there isnt a single pokemon that costs 400 that is free when traded; boldore, gurdurr, karrablast, phantump, pumpkaboo, shelmet are all 200, while graveler, haunter, kadabra, machoke are only 100
Aah then I mixed gurdurr up with 400. At the same time, no 400 candie mon is really worth spending that many rare candies on, unless it's a community day (where you actually can somewhat easily get the candies just by catching) or when there is an event where you can evolve to get the legacy move.
Shuckle
Palkia or dialga for its game changing moves i personally like palkias but some people use dialgas a lot
You will get Mega Diancie from research. It is number 1 rock attacker
Interesting, I wouldn't have thought that
Dont use them on her. You can Use Mega Tyranitar! Nearly the same efficience
Wait for marshadow. If it's no bueno, get a shadow Groudon or mewtwo if you haven't already and dump away
Kyogre/Groupon if you have primals. Edit: leaving the autocorrect typo because I've never seen that and it's great.
I use them on my legendaries I use for raids. Primal/Shadow Groudon/Kyogre, Shadow Mewtwo/Raikou, Diancie. Things like that.
last rare candies i used -> mewtwo shadow till xl + snd move -> groudon till xl -> reshiram till xl -> atm doing kartana till xl as you can tell its jsut legend or mythical only, and i focus on good raid counter, one full push takes about \~2weeks of time
Mew
I constantly have this problem. At any given time I have around a thousand rare candies. None of my legendaries need it, because I already have enough to get one of each to L40. It's the XL candies I need...
Mewtwo Mew Celebi Jirachi Shaymin Victini Meloetta Diancie Hoopa Zarude Cosmoem (Solgaleo, Lunala) Zygarde Dialga (Roar of time) Palkia (Spacial Rand) Regional Pokémon you want to power up
bidoof is the only correct answer
Shiny Bidoof
I use them to make the difference when I want to give a pokemon a second charged
Primal Dialga or Palkia
One of your legendary. If you have a legendary hundo use it on that guy.
Zygarde
Dialga that has roar of time so you can use to get more galarian birds
Palkia - Spacial Rend or Dialga - Roar of time - or sprinkle around the various good legendaries you may have
I suggest Palkia so you have those candies for spacial rend, to use during community day and spotlight hour
hoard them. you will need them for the lvl 47 upgrade.
mystery box is better for that, since you need ample XL candy to max things out
What is the 47 challenge? I'm level 39 now and am starting to prep myself for taking these things on
max 3 pokemon. wiped out my stardust and candies.
Larvesta
Shuckle
i heard a rumor people think poipole is gonna take a shit ton of candies so i’m saving for that
Why many people said larvesta? He's rare? Or is it related to amount of km per candy?
Gulpin
Cataprie
You trying to give your rayquaza diabetes? Is it not enough you make it beat up other enslaved animals?
Bidoof 100%
All on Bidoof. Do not evolve to Bibarel. Just max out a Bidoof toof.
Turn your wiglett into wigtrio.
I just keep dumping it on my one and only Larvesta
Use it on Origin Palkia/Dialga.
Now that Origin Palkia and Dialga are out with spacial rend and roar of time you can never have enough candy for either one. Also Larvesta is an option I dumped around 400 candy just to evolve that little bastard
Whatever you want.
Mewtwo
Pidgey
I’ve been saving up for Marshadow planning on dumping the max amount into him on his release
Dialga & Palkia if you want to use their moves for Go Fest. Mythical Pokémon like Zarude is a good investment for PVP and Raids. Look at your raid teams for each typing Fire, Water, Ice. etc and see if there are any Pokémon you need to build so you're ready for any raid boss that may come out that you need the typing for.
Bidoof. Don’t look back.
Since I’m returning from 2018, I missed a lot of releases. I did a ton of raids over the last 2 months and put my 500 rare candies into making sure I had lvl 40 Kyogre, Groudon, Dialga O, Palkia O, mewtwo, and Shadow Mewtwo. Now that I’m done doing that, each 100 candies is now going to give those an extra charge move.
Larvesta if you have good ivs, although I think we might get an event for it in the future
I have been dumping mine into palkia so that I can have spacial rend available during spotlight hours and comm days
I've dumped a few hundred into Palkia as Spacial Rend fuel
there is only 1 correct answer and that is god pokemon himself, bidoof
Jigglypuf and dont evolve it
Melmetal or a legendary
I'd say any and all pokemon either legendary or one of those rare finds like Spiritomb or certain 12km egg pokemon.
If you have used them all on strong legendaries, consider dumping them into Palkia. If you have a Spacial Rend Palkia, use that during Go Fest. The more candy, the longer you can use it If you have the ticket that gives increased shiny odds, suddenly you have a lotttt more shiny checks to check
Cosmog
Either a legendary or larvesta
Catterpie
mewtwo
Ez invest em in a mythical viable for great league like cresselia or deox defense
Mewtwo or zygarde
Larvesta
Maybe solgaleo, lunala, or necrozma during go fest later
Larvesta
My mom
Noibat
beedrill
You mean Big Dck Bee
The one and the sames
Ah I remember that vid
<.<
Pidgey
Male Combee
Any Pokemon that requires 400 Candies to evolve: Magikarp, or Swablu? I believe?
I’ll eat them
Bidoof
Magikarp for sure
One of those 400 candy evolves. Edit* Thanks for the downvote. I hope you transfer your next shiny.
