Dumping rare candy?

At the moment I got around 250 rare candy in my bag, and they start to eat space up real fast. So I decided to burn 100 of them, but on which pokemon?
Here's some of the candidate :
(pokemon; current candy count; some notable final-evo I got now)
1. Rayquaza; 51 candy current; notable 2 lv20 ray @2078 and
2076
2. Kyogre; 57 candy current; notable 1 lv20 @2304 and lv25 @2879
3. Bagon ; 2 candy current; notable 1 lv20 salamence (I dump 80 RC earlier this week on this one lmao ! Love her so much. Before that I got 330 RC)
4. Beldum; 53 candy current; no metagross yet (the only thing preventing me to dump RC on this one is I don't have any beldum over 90% yet)
5. Tyranitar; 10 candy current; 3 Ttar on lv30, plenty others on 20/25

For reference, I really enjoy raiding for most of times (especially solo-ing T3, duo-ing T4 and getting those sweet damage balls on T5). Doesn't care too much on gym defense.
Considering the coming of boosted eggs and lati@s coming, which one would you guys choose?

Don't spend rare candy on Bagon, Beldum, or Tyranitar. You can walk those in a pinch, and do some Ttar raids for more Larvitar candy.

Given that Rayquaza is a good counter for Rayquaza without outrage, I'd lean towards that, since we have about three weeks of Rayquaza and 4 days of Kyogre and Groudon. The 2078 sounds like an excellent choice, unless you have 6 Dragonites powered up to level 40 already.

Go with Rayquaza (though you might want to wait on powering up until it's gone for maximum effectiveness). High DPS generalist.

Kyogre if you want a tanky and good damage mon.

I see Bagon, Beldum and Ttar more as a personal preference choice for rare candy. You could get higher level Ttars for Latios.

Yeah the latter 3 are more of sentimental value.. Really love to get salamence and metagross to 30 though. Thanks for your opinion !

I would dump it into Kyogre seeing as how the whale is on its way out. It's a fantastic Water-specialist and the king during Rainy weather. It's also an outstanding generalist, with insane TDO and great DPS.

Rayquaza is definitely the next choice since it will counter the latis soon and is a better DPS generalist (at the expense of TDO). However, Rayquaza will be around for awhile, and it's serving 3-5 candy a pop (depending on transfer). You've got time to accumulate more.

Beldum and Bagon are pretty darn rare, but you can hatch them and they spawn in a pretty common biome (though at a very rare rate) and their spawn conditions can be boosted by a weather condition.

Is Groudon not an option here?

I already got a lv30 Groudon, so I thought I have to focus on getting others to lv30 too before powering up Groudon even further. I can always use RC on Groudon, but I don't see the urgency to power up him now.
I just want to dump some of my RC for immediate use so it doesn't clog up my inventory for too long. So 50 on Rayq and 50 on Kyogre? Thanks for your input !

Go with RayQ,
rayquaza is a good counter for himself and other two upcoming lati twins, has really high damage as a generalist for T3 and T4 raids and gyms.

You can dump rare candy and not power up immediately as another option.

Keep 220 rare candy in reserve in case u catch something awesome a perfect mewtwo or rayquaze for example other then that rayquaza is good against itself and also latios latias and then remains a good generalist hard not to take both of them to level 30

If you don't have a level 30+ Kyogre, get one and CTM to Hydropump. This is a huge future proof investment!

Both Rayquaza and kyogre are currently the best of their respective type.
I wouldn’t use rare candy on non legendary Pokémon unless it’s a very special case

Vote for Kyogre only, but only 50 RCs! You can collect more Rayquaza candies. Save at least your 200 RCs for M2!
