Aside from catching Pokemon, trainers also need to evolve these by gathering Candies in "Pokemon Go." Knowing the exact number of required Candy for each Pokemon will help "Pokemon Go" trainers strategize better.
In "Pokemon Go," Candies are specific to each Pokemon. This means that each creature will only evolve if players have enough Candies specific to the creature. For example, in the case of Pikachu, 'Pokemon Go" players gain Pikachu Candies for every Pikachu they capture. They also earn one Pikachu Candy whenever they successfully transfer the creature to Professor Willow. Players also earn 10 Pikachu Candies whenever they successfully hatch the creature.
The Bitbag revealed that the next approach in gaining Candies will reportedly become available when the "Pokemon Go" buddy feature is launched. Players are rewarded Candies whenever they walk in the real world with their chosen Pokemon buddy. The method is similar to how players walk their eggs to earn Candy. Generally, the number of Candies that each creature in "Pokemon Go" will need is based on their rarity. Common Pokemon only require a few Candies to evolve, while rare ones will need more to transform.
Serebii.net provided a full list showing the exact Candies needed to evolve. The "Pokemon Go" chart detailed how Magikarp needs 400 Candies to turn into Gyarados. Caterpie, Weedle and Pidgey will only need 12 Candies to evolve into Metapod, Kakuna and Pidgeotto, respectively. Metapod, Kakuna and Pidgeotto will next need 50 Candies to transform into Butterfree, Beedrill and Pidgeot, respectively. Squirtle, Bulbasaur and Charmander need 25 Candies to turn into Wartortle, Ivysaur and Charmeleon, respectively.
Pikachu needs 50 Candies to evolve into Raichu. Other Pokemon that need 50 Candies to upgrade include Meowth, Slowpoke, Mankey, Drowzee, Krabby, Voltorb, Horsea and Staryu, among others. Finally, 100 Candies are needed to evolve Charmeleon, Ivysaur and Wartortle into Charizard, Venusaur and Blastoise, respectively. 100 Candies are also required in "Pokemon Go" to turn Dragonair into Dragonite, Graveler into Golem, Machoke into Machamp and Poliwhirl into Poliwrath. "Pokemon Go" fans can refer to the chart to prioritize which Pokemon in their collection should be evolved first, depending on their goals and environment.
