Pokemon-go – How many extra Candies does Pinap Berry grant

pokemon-go

I've recently started using Pinap Berries from time to time and have experienced inconsistent results.

I've not yet used any on evolved Pokemon yet, but the Basic Pokemon I used them on gave me either 5 or 6 total candies. All of them have evolutions, though I didn't pay attention to whether the 5 and 6 were split between 1-stage and 2-stage evolutions.

So, how many (extra or total) candies does Pinap Berry grant, depending on which factors?

Best Answer

It does exactly grant the double amount of candy for each stage of evolution. Don't bother the incorrect report of 5, 9, or 19 candies. They are being added to your candy total as 6 for stage 1 pokemon (eg. Pidgey), 10 for stage 2 pokemon (eg. Pidgeotto), and 20 for stage 3 pokemon (eg. Pidgeot) when captured using Pinap Berry.

Tested and verified by myself.

Screenshots added below illustrating the candy count problem.
