Double Candy Event?
So what are the thoughts on Double Candy coming up in the next couple of weeks? I am sitting on about 300 Larvitar and 75 ralts and about 100 other "good mon" that I need to clear from my Collection but the extra candy seems sweet if I can get it (pun intended). Or do we get targeted for the event to just new catches?

Nobody knows. The trend in recent times is no unlimited bonuses of anything, but they could easily give candy bonus for trading again to promote it.
I envy your storage, I'm in a pickle now that I need to hold 150+ distance mons for Beldums AND catch Beldums during the CD. No idea yet what I'll do, don't really want to do a full cleanup because of the rebalancing, might change what I actually want to keep.
The past few bonus candy events have only been extra candy for catches or hatches. Even if there is bonus candy for Halloween, it might not include transferring.
You can trade pokemon that are from far apart locations to get up to 3 candy, plus an extra candy of whatever is traded to you if the IV re-roll is bad and you transfer it.
Trading them away is a great way to get more candy than transferring. I've been doing it for a few months. Traded away Snorlax, Dratini, Ralts, etc. At worst, you get 1 candy back (same as transferring) at best it's 3 candy.
As a bonus, if you're not a narcissist, you're also giving someone else a candy...or potentially a lucky mon.
I honestly think it's unlikely they will redo the same double candy event BUT since we are only two weeks away you might as well hold on to them till then and then decide what you'd like to do. Also have you condisered trading them with people who live 10 km away
? this could also be a good way to get the 2 candy and hopefully get some luckies. (if for any reason you live in Madrid i'd be down to meet up I also have some quality pokemon i'm looking to trade)
