And your storage is maxed? I have to tell you, at that point you probably should be spending your rare candy on something since there are multiple great candidates in the game already. I was struggling with between 500-600 for the longest time but then they released the weather trio and I got a Mewtwo and now I've barely climbed back to 200.
I don't agree, I think it's a good thing that the limited storage incentivizes people to spend them instead of hoarding absurd amounts. There isn't really any good reason to hoard.
