What does this mean? Is there now Rare Candy in addition to <Pokémon> Candy? Because if there is, I'm apparently blind, and missed whenever it happened...

You can earn rare candy from raids and some research quests. Rare candy can be given to any pokemon. Previously you could only give 1 rare candy at a time. And for those of us who raid a lot, have 10s to 100s of rare candy. Giving them 1 at a time is annoying. Now being able to give multiples at a time is great.

Yeah man, rare candy has been a thing for... A long time. I believe since at least legendary raids got released last go fest. You can only get them from raids, and higher level raids have a higher chance of more candy.

My first shiny was a shiny Pikachu, but my only non event/CD ones are two Magikarp. Can't complain since even a crappy iv red gyarados still looks baller as gently caress.

Unrelated but I found a 100% skarmory in my collection today :geno:

My first shiny was a luvdisc, my next two were also luvdisc. Since then I've gotten a pichu, an aron, and a sheep.

Ah, Rare Candy is tied to Raids. No wonder I don't know anything about it. My old phone could barely handle the game, so raids were a no go.

There's a limited amount of Field Research quests (most notably, the 7th day reward) as well as the Special Research that can give Rare Candies as prizes, but otherwise they're ostensibly for raiding.

Yeah after it seemed pretty clear the RNG gods didn't want me to have a shiny Maku/Medi I got really really sick of that fighting event lasting forever. Honestly a relief to see a Sandshrew.

This happened to me too, I hunted forever for that drat shiny Makuhita but no dice :(

That's ok dumb phone game, I didn't want you stupid shiny anyways

Can I evolve any charmander during the event to get the special move, or does it have to be one I captured during the 3 hour window?

The last 3 events I evolved Pokémon I didn’t catch during the event and got the new move, so.....

Most likely. They did the same for Bulbasaur, because starter catch rates are god awfull astronomical normally.

I’m having trouble switching between my account and my wife’s account on an iPad. Both of us use google accounts but when I try logging in, the pre-load screen spins for a minute or so and then says no account exists.

I don’t have this problem switching between accounts on the iPhone. But one thing I notice is that on our phones, I get a pop up message saying “Pokémon go wants to use google.com to sign in” which I don’t get when trying from the iPad. So I’m thinking it’s a permission issue, but I have no idea how to get that pop up to appear on the iPad.

Played for the full three hours of the event, caught a total of 67 Charmanders. Not a single shiny.

Girlfriend suddenly remembers there’s an event and starts the game up when there’s 12 minutes left - immediately gets a shiny lizard. :smithicide:

Its very good and you should def evolve it. But you get plenty of candy, I evolved 2 normal charizards and 1 shiny and still have 200 extra candy from the event alone.

After the event they are very mediocre again.

I'm stuck without transportation so I'm not getting a bunch of candy, unfortunately.

Put a mister on it and dress it up like a squirtle. Especially if the next one is Squirtle.

Got a 30cp and a 212 cp shiny. Good thing I got lots of candy.

Charmander, 10 cp, level one
Shiny
Charmander is not likely to make much headway in battle.
I see that it’s best attribute is its HP.
It is matched equally by its attack.
It is matched equally by its defense.
Its stats are not out of the norm, in my estimation.

A shiny level one 0% Charmander. The best rarest useless turd you can hope for.
