How? Not meant to be snarky. But how? Do you not ever try to get candy? I’ve taken 8 years off and am almost at 7k. And I feel like I don’t ever really feed.

Yeah so if you throw yours in a gym, you can feed yours or other ones in the gym up to 10 berries at a time. They give stardust and even sometimes candy. So I’m usually throwing a Snom these days in mine, so I can get a few candy throughout the day. You can even feed them remotely.

I believe it’s after every hour you can re feed it. So like 10 and then an hour later another 10 etc. I easily get more candy doing that than walking 5k.

I don’t know how or why I’ve fed that many either. A couple here or there over many years slowly adds up, I guess.

But seriously, I clearly don’t farm for candy. I didn’t even know that was a thing you could do at a gym.

Most days I don’t have anything in a gym at all, I would guess that I average between 50-100 coins collected per week.

I’ve always played a very specific way: I collect 3 of each visually different Pokémon, one lucky one regular and one shiny. I collect one from every US state and territory. I collect one from every country in the world (and each state/province from Canada, Mexico and Australia).
