Every time you catch a Pokémon from the same Evolution Tree (e.g. Pidgey, Pidgeotto and Pidgeot) you get 3 candies, labelled as the base evolution candy (e.g. 'Pidgey Candy'). You can build up candies quickly this way.

You can also gain additional candies by Evolving, or Transferring Pokémon to Professor Willow (1 per evolution/transfer, and 1-3 per trade with another player). Note: Trading will also remove the Pokémon from your collection permanently.

The only other way of obtaining candies is through hatching Pokémon. This is similar to catching Pokémon; apart from the inability to know exactly what you will hatch, but with the bonus of recieving a larger quantity. I am uncertain of exactly how many you recieve, but it upwards of 5 candy for each Pokémon hatched.

The Buddy feature has also been added into the game that allows you to get candy from a specific pokemon you have set as your buddy, which gives candy per distance walked similar to hatching eggs.

Every time you catch a Pokémon from the same Evolution Tree (e.g. Pidgey, Pidgeotto and Pidgeot) you get between 3 and 10 candies:

• 3 for base level (Pidgey)
• 5 for second evolution (Pidgeotto)
• 10 for third evolution (Pidgeot)

These are labelled as the base evolution candy (e.g. 'Pidgey Candy'). You can build up candies quickly this way. You can also apply Pinap or Silver Pinap berries when catching Pokémon to double the amount you can collect.

The only other addition is using Rare Candies, which you can collect from Research, Raids, or Trainer Battles. These are not specific to any kind of Pokémon, but can be applied to a Pokémon, and it will trade 1 rare candy for 1 candy for that Pokémon.
