Pokemon-go – How is it possible to only have one candy for a Pokemon

pokemon-go

I only have one candy for Flaaffy. How is that possible? Is it from egg hatching?

Best Answer

You can get candy from:

  • Catching (doubled if you use a Pinap Berry)
    • 3 candy - first-tier Pokemon
    • 5 candy - middle evolution Pokemon
    • 10 candy - final evolution Pokemon
  • Transferring - 1 candy for each transfer.
  • Hatching
    • 2km Egg - ~10 Candy
    • 5km Egg - ~20 Candy
    • 10km Egg - ~30 Candy
  • Buddy Pokemon - 1 candy per milestone (with a small chance to receive 2 or more)

In order to have exactly 1 candy, you will have to have spent candy upgrading or evolving Mareep/Flaaffy, leaving you with 1 or 0 candy.

If left with 0 candy, you will then have had to either used a Mareep evolution as a buddy Pokemon, or transferred one Mareep or Flaaffy in order to go up to 1 candy.
