Halloween Event - candy bonus for hatching?

I've hatched a few eggs since the event has started, mostly 2km as well as one 5km and one 10km.

The 2km eggs do appear to be giving double candy but the 5km egg was an Exeggcute which gave me 21 candy while the 10km was a Jynx (?) and that gave me 35 candy so clearly these aren't doubled. Both of these eggs were obtained after the event started too.

Any ideas as to what's happened there? Anyone else had a similar issue with 5km or 10km eggs?

Those numbers could be "doubled".

I mean, I get that they're odd numbers and hence not multiples of 2. However I would assume that as with the buddy not literally giving 4x candy but getting the same candy 4x faster, the hatched pokemon aren't literally giving 2x candy but are calculating the random amount of candy within 2x limits.

i.e. if a hatched exeggcute would normally give 10-18 Candy, it will now give 20-36 candy. 21 falls within that range (whereas 21 sounds awfully high for a non-adjusted Exeggcute hatch).

Likewise, perhaps a Jynx could give 17-24 candy beforehand, and now it can give 34-48. I hatched a Jynx for 17 candy before the event was announced, so 35 candy seems awfully high to me again without a multiplier.

Ah I see, gotcha. Thanks very much for the explanation ??

NP - it's just a guess so maybe keep watching it? Not sure how you could know for sure unless you get 36+ candy from an egg (as 35 candy is the limit AFAIK).
