Pokémon GO 2018: 14 NEW Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn't Tell You

2. Buddy Candy Amounts Differ By Pokémon

Worth pointing out for the Mythical Quests and Research Tasks that require candies to be ground out: Different Pokemon actually have different amounts of KM to walk when it comes to their candy value.

Again, a full chart is online over here, but many pokemon that have powerful evolutions like Squirtle and Machop will require 3km per single Candy, whereas the humble Magikarp - that evolves into a devastating Gyarados - only needs 1km.

Useful if you've managed to nab a Charmander and want to EVENTUALLY get a Charizard, but as research tasks eventually unlock legendary fights too, discard the ones that aren't about candy-grinding and get to it.
