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?

I have no space to do this anymore. Luckily I am sitting on 4k larvocandy and 3.1 for ralts. I am holding to as many Mewtwo as I can before it becomes too cumbersome but I will most likely grind them a day before beldum c-day

And here I thought I was set for life with only 2k Larvitar candy. Do you have any plans for the entire 4k or is it just more than you'll ever need?

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.

If you agree with your trade partner to pitch in the same number of rares you're both profiting compared to transferring, because you also get to transfer everything your partner gives you. And that's not even mentioning the IV rerolls and luckies. Trading is so good.

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)
