With the introduction of Pokémon GO Beyond at the end of 2020, XL Candies were also added to the game. There are several ways to obtain XL Candies.
XL Candies in Pokémon GO – how to get them
XL Candies were introduced in the big Pokemon GO Beyond Update at the end of 2020. You can get them in different ways. However, XL Candies can only be collected by players who have reached at least level 31.
- You can get XL candies, for example, when you catch Pokémon. The stronger the pocket monster, the higher the number of XL candies. You can get up to three per catch. If you catch evolved, legendary or mysterious Pokémon, you are guaranteed to get XL candies. You can also get the coveted XL candies when you catch mega-evolved Pokémon. You also get XL candies when you develop a Pokémon.
- XL candies can also be rewarded for reaching the next trainer level and for hatching eggs. In rare cases, you can get these special candies if you send your monsters to the professor. If you feed Pokémon in arenas, you can also get XL candies.
- Another way to get XL candies is to trade in regular candies. For every 100 regular candies you get 1 XL candy. However, this method is less recommended because regular candies also have to be laboriously collected.
- You can get further chances to get XL candies by catching raid bosses, walking with your buddy Pokémon or by trading. The further the trading distance, the greater the chance of getting XL candies. XL candies can also be given as a reward for research.
This is the use of XL Candies in Pokémon GO
XL candies can only be used on Pokémon that have already reached level 31. How many XL candies it costs to level up is stated directly in the profile of the respective Pokémon.
- With the XL candies, your Pokémon can be brought up to level 50. Just like leveling up to level 31, this process also costs additional stardust. The higher the level, the more. If you don't have enough XL candies or too little stardust, leveling up is not possible.
- With XL candies, you can take your pocket monsters far beyond their actual maximum value. The higher you level up your Pokémon, the more XL candies you need for the next level.
