Each different Pok\u00e9mon family has its own Candy type, with the name usually derivative of the lowest evolution, but that isn&#8217;t always the case. For example, Charizard uses Charmander Candy, while Raichu uses Pikachu Candy rather than Pichu Candy.<\/p>\n<p>Each evolution typically costs more Candy than the previous, with the Candy cost ranging from 12 to 400, depending on the evolution.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"picture strip\">\n<div class=\"img\"><a title=\"Candy\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/896426b3ad170\/candy.original.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/896426b3ad170\/candy.100.jpg\" alt=\"Candy\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-collect-candy-in-pokemon-go\">How To Collect Candy In Pok\u00e9mon GO<\/h2>\n<p>There are actually numerous methods of collecting Candy in Pok\u00e9mon GO, ranging from catching Pok\u00e9mon to transferring them. Each method offers a different number of Candy too, so you won&#8217;t want to rely on just one. Let&#8217;s go through the various different methods below.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"catch-pokemon\">Catch Pok\u00e9mon<\/h3>\n<p>The most reliable method of collecting Candy is to catch Pok\u00e9mon. You&#8217;ll get three Candy for a first tier evolution, five for a second, and a whopping 10 for a third. That&#8217;s all very good you&#8217;re probably thinking, but how do you give yourself a higher chance of catching particular Pok\u00e9mon?<\/p>\n<p>Well, you could try tracking down a Pok\u00e9mon nest. These are dedicated spawn locations for a certain type of Pok\u00e9mon, where you&#8217;ll have a higher chance of tracking them down if you catch Pok\u00e9mon there. To find Pok\u00e9mon nests, you can head on over to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/TheSilphRoad\/comments\/4t3o06\/examining_nests\/\">Reddit<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/viewer?mid=1anyDs-H7hOtGQaxaTwuLjulUrVM\">Google Maps<\/a> communities.<\/p>\n<p>An easier method is to hang around a particular biome that the Pok\u00e9mon you&#8217;re trying to catch is more likely to appear in. Again, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/TheSilphRoad\/comments\/60603c\/biome_introduction_list_of_all_identified_biomes\/\">Reddit<\/a> is a great resource for learning more about the Biome system.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"picture strip\">\n<div class=\"img\"><a title=\"Pokemon Go 2\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/fdecf871a1e60\/pokemon-go-2.original.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/fdecf871a1e60\/pokemon-go-2.100.jpg\" alt=\"Pokemon Go 2\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<h3 id=\"transfer-pokemon\">Transfer Pok\u00e9mon<\/h3>\n<p>Got a Pok\u00e9mon with bad IVs? Don&#8217;t leave them to gather dust \u2013 just transfer them out of your inventory. By doing so, you&#8217;ll earn a Candy for that type of Pok\u00e9mon. Simply tap on the Pok\u00e9mon you want to transfer, hit the three lines on the bottom right of the screen, and tap transfer. A teary goodbye is optional.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"use-berries\">Use Berries<\/h3>\n<p>Pinap Berries double the amount of Candy you earn from catching a Pok\u00e9mon, so if you&#8217;re serious about gathering Candy, you&#8217;ll want to use this as often as possible when catching your favourite monsters. Think about it: if you catch a Pok\u00e9mon at the third stage of its evolution, you&#8217;ll earn a whopping 20 Candy.<\/p>\n<p>You can also feed berries to Pok\u00e9mon at gyms to give yourself a chance of getting a Candy to drop. It&#8217;s a great method of using up some of your unwanted berries too.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"walk-with-your-buddy\">Walk With Your Buddy<\/h3>\n<p>If you have a super rare Pok\u00e9mon that you&#8217;re just not going to encounter in the wild, like a Mythical or Legendary, it makes sense to make them your Buddy. You&#8217;ll then start earning Candy for them each time you walk a certain distance.<\/p>\n<p>This system works similar to incubation. Each Pok\u00e9mon has a certain distance you have to walk to earn a piece of Candy for them. You won&#8217;t be rolling in Candy, but for certain Pok\u00e9mon it&#8217;s one of very few methods of earning it.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"picture strip\">\n<div class=\"img\"><a title=\"IMG 4514\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/bdc808ccc5222\/img-4514.original.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/bdc808ccc5222\/img-4514.100.jpg\" alt=\"IMG 4514\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<h3 id=\"hatch-eggs\">Hatch Eggs<\/h3>\n<p>Hatching eggs provides an absolute ton of Candy, but there&#8217;s no guarantee that it will be for the Pok\u00e9mon you want it to be. The best you can do is hatch eggs with the highest chance of containing that Pok\u00e9mon and pray.<\/p>\n<p>You get around 10 Candy for a 2km Egg, 20 for a five, and a massive 30 for hatching a 10km Egg. It&#8217;s one of the least reliable methods of gathering a particular type of Candy, but you might as well hatch a few eggs in the background just in case.<\/p>\n<p><em>Do you know of any more reliable methods of hoarding Candy in Pok\u00e9mon GO?
