"Pokemon GO" trainers are abuzz with reports of buddies randomly dropping two candies. Many are wondering on the number of candies being dropped by the buddies and its impact on the game.
The moment Niantic introduced buddy system in "Pokemon GO," trainers had another reason to hit the road again and walk their buddies. A fair reward of candy drop is expected every one to 5 kilometers depending on the kind of Pokemon buddy. Then these candies can be used in turn to evolve the trainer's monsters.
Since only one candy was dropped in these walks, "Pokemon GO" players are getting confused because there are several reports of dual drops. Mikesierrafox posted at Reddit that his Pokemon companion Graveler usually drops 2 candies within 8 minutes apart. iTech Post suspected that there is a pattern behind dual candy drops due to multiple reports from trainers.
Adding to the mystery are reports that sticking in one "Pokemon GO" buddy and walking more kilometers will amplify chances of dual candy drops. Some are saying that chances are dependent on completion of certain exact distance. According to Heavy, it seems that reports in "Pokemon GO" dedicated Reddit Silph Road are not really glitch but bonus system. It is unclear how it works though.
Now there are debates how this "Pokemon GO" dual candy drops can happen. Mikesierrafox said that his first candy appeared at 800 meters then the second one upon reaching 1 kilometer. Given this scenario, drops can't be classified under lag error because it can happen on opposite instances. Meaning, a player needs to reach 1 kilometer first before a second candy drops.
What makes this dual drops hard to crack are reports from other "Pokemon GO" trainers claiming that they got two candies at the same time. Then there are reports that hatching eggs while walking with Pokemon buddy results to higher possibility of dual candy drops. However murky for now, what do you think is the reason for this mysterious drops? You can leave your comment below.
