Has anybody ever had negative distance to walk with your buddy for your next candy? I was out on a mini-hunt today, and I got the notification that Snorlax found a candy. Great, I thought, that brings me to 30 for my "project" Snorlax. It has decent IVs, a legacy moveset (ZH/ HB), but is only level 9. The next time I checked the screen, however, it showed 31 candies, and the distance remaining was negative 4.9/5 km.
It is continuing to count "backwards" to zero for the candy I have already received. Weird or what?
By the way, I am level 32 and only have two other Laxes, both with L/EQ. My plan is to walk till I have 106 candies, and if no better candidates appear by then, I will bring my "project" Lax to level 30.

It happened to me after finding 2 candies at once. Makes sense to switch to some other buddy for a while to reset the distance.

Actually, the situation has corrected itself somewhat, and the time warp is no more. I was forced to restart the app, and now it shows 0.3 / 5km towards next candy. It didn't take away candy number 31, though - I wonder if I just got a free candy? Cha-ching!

it has for me you don't lose distance it just counts down instead of up and if you restart the app it fixes up.

Happened to me once. You should switch buddies back and forth to reset the distance to 0 and keep the extra candy.
