I made a simple calculator to help with Lucky Eggs and Pidgey evolutions in Pokemon Go

You can use it at www.pidgeycalc.com. Enjoy!

Me and my boyfriend did this earlier and gained about 30,000 xp! Great fucking idea! Level 19 is only 700 xp away! :-)

I just save 1 pidgey per 62 candies... Am I doing it wrong?

Am I right in that the priority should be to evolve to pokémons you've never catched before? An additional 2*500 xp.

59 pidgey, caterpie, or weedle is the safe amount to maximize leveling. you can technically get 60 in there but you might be pushing time

You should expand this idea slightly to allow for other pokemon which require more candy to evolve. I have a ton of Evees and Rattatas.

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Hey @bchn - I agree with this! Rattatas especially

It works for pidgeys, rats, weedles, caterpies and eevees.

Maybe add an optional field to define candies required for evolution.

Don't they require 50 candies? based on a 30 minute egg can't see them ever being worth doing other than as filler at the end of the eggs.

Leave them as is. It's cheaper to evolve Pidgeys than pidgeotto.

To expand: You only get 500 xp for evolving no matter how many candies it cost. (Unless it is a new Pokemon).

He probably doesn't have a lot of candy for rarer Pokémon, since that would be a waste of money.

Butter candy is made from butter, so pidgey candy is made from pidgey.

Lucky eggs give double xp for 30mins. This helps maximise xp. Pidgey/Weedle/Caterpie's are the easiest to evolve for xp and easy to find.

So you catch 72, transfer 14, use a lucky egg, and then evolve 47?

I think they specifically did that because of lucky eggs. That way they can decide the maximum amount of XP a single egg can give you.
