Evole Margikarp
Why do you need 400 Magikarp candy to evolve in Pokemon Go?
The answer is simply because Magikarp makes the biggest leap in term of stats and HP from one evolution. Magikarp can easily go from 150 CP to 1600 CP right away. No other Pokemon in the game comes even close to a 1450 CP difference. You also get a huge boost in CP when you finally evolve a Magikarp. Besides the fact that Gyarados is one of the rarest, strongest creatures in the game, evolving Magikarp means you have shown the ultimate measure of endurance as a Trainer.
How do you farm Magikarp candy?
- Catch a Magikarp/Gyarados. Locate a Pokestop near a body of water With luremodule and Incense.
- Pinap a Magikarp/Gyarados while catching it.
- Raid a Magikarp (Tier 1, soloable).
- Use Rare Candies on Magikarp.
- Walk Magikarp as a Buddy (1KM per Candy).
- Feed Magikarp/Gyarados placed in Gyms. ( 1/58 chance to get candy)
- Do field research.
- Hatch 2km eggs.
Why do some Pokemon need 400 Candies?
The 400s – Four Pokémon families actually require 400 candies to evolve. They are Magikarp, Swablu, Wailmer and Meltan. For the first two, the reason for this is probably just because their evolved forms, Gyarados and Alteria, are quite sought after Pokémon.
Friend, trade, lucky pokemon, Lucky Friend
How to control when you want to become an ultra friend with someone
One question remain, if I sending a gift or opening a gift at the same day. Is the friendship is increased by one? If so, I can send a gift one day and open a gift next day, the friendship is increased by two levels. But the gift contains some valuable stuff, I think no trainer try this.

Pokemon Evolution
Evolution
As with original version of Pokémon Go, you can still evolve most of your Pokémon into their later forms by feeding them enough Candy. However, the new Pokémon in Gen 2 introduces 'special' evolution items.
Special items are used to evolve certain creatures and there are five new items that affect how Pokémon evolve:
- King's Rock evolves Poliwhirl into Politoed and Slowpoke into Slowking
- Dragon Scale evolves Seadra into Kingdra
- Sun Stone evolves Gloom into Bellossom and Sunkern into Sunflora
- Up Grade evolves Porygon into Porygon 2
- Metal Coat evolves Onix into Steelix and Scyther into Scizor
For Pokémon with divergent evolutions - such as Gloom or Slowpoke - you'll have the choice of which form to evolve them into. Whichever you choose, you'll still need to spend the requisite amount of Candy to evolve them, along with the appropriate item. They disappear after one use though, so you'll need two King's Rocks to evolve both Poliwhirl and Slowpoke, for instance.
Where to find special Evolution items
Unlike useful items such as Pokémon Lures or Incense, you can't buy the special items in Pokémon Go's store. So where do you get them?
The good news: all five items are random drops from Pokéstops.
The bad news: special items are rare drops. Pokémon eggs have a roughly 20 per cent drop rate, and at present it seems evolution items are even rarer. On top of that, with five different ones necessary and no way to determine which one you'll get, there's a high random factor to getting the one you need. Right now, or until Niantic makes them more easily available, there's no solution aside from persistence.

My tips for collecting stardust and boost XP
Search keyword: hatched, Shiny, Shadow, Evolve
== Best collect stardust==
Go battle, make sure to use them as your buddy. Total allowed 6 sets, 5 battle /per set, total 30.
== Best Strategy to boost XP and stardust==
Use lucky eggs and stardust ( both 30 minutes) to do
- 7 seven streak catch and spin boosted
- Raid tier 1 as many as possible (3500 XP, 1000 stardust)
- Hatch long-distance eggs or eggs from long distance
- Binge evolving Pokemons ( XP normal is 1000 )
- Level friend up
==About Berry==
Even Silver berry is not very helpful to catch shadow pokemon. Instead, I think Nanab Berry is the best. It is particularly useful on hovering Pokémon that move around. There are several such move patterns: darting from one spot to another rapidly (Magnemite, Zubat), moving about smoothly in a figure 8 (Abra, Gastly), or flying upwards and staying for some time (Pidgeotto, Golbat).
== Stardusts and XP, the streak is very important. Don't miss a day =====
https://www.imore.com/pokemon-go-stardust
Stardust in Pokémon Go for your daily and 7-days Catch Streak!
- 600 Stardust for each daily Catch Streak bonus. ( I check it is 1900)
- 3000 Stardust for the 7-day weekly Catch Streak bonus.
- It is 3000XP for the daily catch, not 500 XP.
Stardust in Pokémon Go from Eggs?
- 400-800 Stardust from a 2 KM Egg.
- 800-1600 Stardust from a 5 KM Egg.
- 1600-3200 Stardust from a 10 KM Egg. (when star-piece (1.5), luck eggs boost 2x XP)
==About Eggs==
Save egg incubators to use in eggs hatched booster events
Note: eggs receiving from the long-distance get extravagant stardust, marked it and hatch on event day using star piece and luck eggs.
- 12km Eggs can only be earned by defeating one of the Team Go Rocket Leaders: Cliff, Sierra, or Arlo.
- 7km eggs can only get from gifts
- Togepi can be hatched from 5km eggs, but, in the 5km eggs
== Hatch eggs to immediately increase XP for trainers==
Visit Pokestops to collect eggs and use incubators to hatch them. If you can invest some money, buy fast incubators (reduced hatch distance). Based on my experience, as long as an egg hatched, you get an egg from Pokestops immediately. Compared with capturing a pokemon (not new), XP is only 100.
Reward from beating Raid Bosses:
- 2 Golden razz berry (may change)
- 2 revive (may for tier 5 Fast TM )
- 2 Rare candy
- 3,500 XP (standard raids)
- 1000 Stardust
== XP======
Levelling a Friend to Best Friend status
The most efficient way of getting XP is adding Friends, sending them gifts, then using a Lucky Egg when turning Best Friends. Though technically not the 'fastest' method, the 'best' method is by levelling a Friend to Best Friend status, netting you a whopping 100,000 XP
This takes some time - 90 days in total - but since all it takes is exchanging Gifts back and forth daily, it's by far and away the most lucrative XP source in the game.
Remember you can use a Lucky Egg to double this to 200,000 XP, and if you time it right, you can easily queue up multiple Best Friends to open their gifts in a single Lucky Egg use.
== Excerpt from an article WHAT POKÉMON SHOULD I EVOLVE?======
If you’re prioritizing attackers for raids, Mamoswine is one of the best. It has a mix of extremely high CP, with strong ground and ice-type moves, making it a solid pick for most Legendary raids. Roserade is also one of the best grass-types, and Electivire is one of the best electric-types However, if you want to evolve a Lickilicky just to have a cute, round friend, that’s a pretty good option, too
Pokémon Go guide: How to get Sinnoh Stones
https://www.polygon.com/pokemon-go-guide/22543907/sinnoh-stone-best-evolutions-pokedex-list-uses
Join on Dec 15, two weeks play. In order to finish "trade task", I have to open my child account. In order to trade, a trainer must be at Level 10 above. I went through the whole process again. It took me 2 hours or so to be level 10 instead of days for my account. I corrected all my wrongdoings, particularly not tapping items to collect them.
