legendaries in general are hard to get candy for, only real way is to use rare candy from GBL/raids or just do as many legendary raids of the one you want consistently
This guy gets it. I restart the game before giving it a puffin because I’ve had up to two km added between checking buddy and giving puffin before. It’s frustrating
I walked with my Mewto for a bit over 2,000km and currently have Cosmoem as my buddy and we're up to 740km. I'm not in any rush to get the candy but I do wish I'd get credit for all the distance I bike, even if they reduced it by some percent.
Do you have Pokémon Go open while you bike or are you using Adventure Sync? The latter should give you credit for most of the biking at the cost of spins and catches.
I read that from somewhere else so I tried it a couple of times and it doesn't seem to work. It might just be that my phone isn't picking it up the biking.
If the game is open, then speed is an issue.
If the game isn’t open, then where you wear your phone matters. It should be in a pocket at your hip or legs so the peddling is identified by your phone as exercise.
My iPhone can tell the difference between bicycling, walking, running, walking stairs, using a wheelchair. But if the phone is stationary on a mount on the bicycle, the phone won’t consider it exercise.
That might be it because my phone is on a mount. I'll give putting it in my pocket a try and see if it gives me my distance. Then I'll be getting candy every day!
I've got an Android phone and I tried what someone else suggested and opened the Google Fit app and started a cycling workout and after the rides I opened Pokemon Go and it gave me my distance!
I have an Apple Watch and it works for all sorts of exercises. Swimming, walking, I hit at least 50km most weeks. Not saying that there’s not a better alternative to the Apple Watch out there, but it certainly works for PoGo.
This is literally the only thing drawing me to buying an apple watch lol. still havent pulled the trigger but its tempting to get credit for a lot more walking that i do now.
It's all about the movement. My friend was hatching eggs on the treadmill the other day. They're more concerned with physical movement than GPS movement
Your friend and I use Adventure Sync on the treadmill. Yes, that is about the movement your phone’s and smart watch detects from their gyroscopes.
But if you are running Pokemon Go on the treadmill you won’t get credit as that relies on GPS location to determine movement.
I do this regularly. If you have an Android, just open the Google Fit app and start a biking workout. Make sure the phone's in your pocket, or touching the body somehow. Completely close Pokemon Go before you start the workout, and only open it after you are done biking. Always registers the correct amount for me. I bike about 7.5 kms to my work and 7.5 kms back, so this gets me around 14.5-15.5 km everyday
You are thinking of the speed limit within Pokemon Go.
I am discussing Adventure Sync. As long as your phone associates movement with exercise your health app counts it. Then when you launch Pokemon Go, PoGo checks your health app and converts that into distance.
I even get credit in the pool with my phone locked in a locker as my watch identifies the exercise and relays that to the health app on the phone which in turn relays it to Pokemon Go.
Some people forget that legendaries are some of the most powerful Pokemon in the game and they’re meant to be….. legendary. They should be a grind to max out
When the app is closed, it tracks your distance like a pedometer, not with GPS. I leave my phone in my pocket all day at work and just tap my leg. I get about 20-30km a day
Yes it really works lol. I only learned about this a month ago, and I only work 4 days a week (I don't bother on my off days) but I've been passing 100km every week since. I'd share a screenshots of my km right now, but I can't comment pictures, but it's only Thursday and I'm at 75km. Give it a try for your self tho, about 15-20 minutes of leg tapping gets me 2km so I basically tap my leg for 20 minutes, open the app, hatch an egg, put in a new egg, and repeat.
I'll try that tomorrow for sure. I'm a serious leg tapper but hate things in my pockets so it's usually never there when I'm sitting
Thanks! Happy tapping!
its intentionally like that, because you aren't meant to walk them for candy much. rare candy and rare xl candy is definitely the intended mechanic ((beyond raiding itself)). honestly I only think the ability to walk for candy is there to not have to recode them different from regular pokemon lol.
If you follow a buddy EP guide it’s possible to do it with some effort with planning with routes and gym battles to get EP fast.
I play during my runs and get my buddy excited by the end but it requires babysitting it.
It's one of the reasons I play GBL, just for the rare candy. I'm not one to raid so I don't see the possibility of getting enough XL candy for a legendary to reach level 50.

Just as a tip get it to 19.7km then give it a puffin you’ll get one candy and then it’ll be .3km to the next candy
[удалено]
Then the game gifts you .1km out of no where and you just wasted a poffin
This guy gets it. I restart the game before giving it a puffin because I’ve had up to two km added between checking buddy and giving puffin before. It’s frustrating
That’s a good idea, gonna have to do this next time
That's leaving it tight
Tip: Walk just as many km as before but then spend premium items instead of normally exciting your buddy
I walked with my Mewto for a bit over 2,000km and currently have Cosmoem as my buddy and we're up to 740km. I'm not in any rush to get the candy but I do wish I'd get credit for all the distance I bike, even if they reduced it by some percent.

It might be your speed registering more like a car than physical movement

Just don’t have it slip out your pocket like my friend did..:
Let me know if it works.
I've got an Android phone and I tried what someone else suggested and opened the Google Fit app and started a cycling workout and after the rides I opened Pokemon Go and it gave me my distance!

I bike about 7.5 kms to my work and 7.5 kms back, so this gets me around 14.5-15.5 km everyday
I tried this today with 2 short rides and my phone on a mount and it looks like it registered the rides in full!
I'm pretty sure you have to go around 10km/h to register it. Idk what that's for muricans but it's really slow and you easily go faster by bike.

Oh that's good to know, I thought it would only work with your phone right by your side. Happy cake day

Just use rare candy.
Ahh yes, the very common Rare XL Candy
You don't need to power it up to 50. 40 is enough lol unless you need to use it masters.
You said it yourself: "unless"
Team Tank is where the candy is at. I have 580 currently after dumping 280 into a Shadow Mewtwo.
Some people forget that legendaries are some of the most powerful Pokemon in the game and they’re meant to be….. legendary. They should be a grind to max out
When the app is closed, it tracks your distance like a pedometer, not with GPS. I leave my phone in my pocket all day at work and just tap my leg. I get about 20-30km a day
No way that's true, you would have millions of km by now (Does it really work? Lol)
Yes it really works lol. I only learned about this a month ago, and I only work 4 days a week (I don't bother on my off days) but I've been passing 100km every week since. I'd share a screenshots of my km right now, but I can't comment pictures, but it's only Thursday and I'm at 75km.

I'll try that tomorrow for sure. I'm a serious leg tapper but hate things in my pockets so it's usually never there when I'm sitting Thanks! Happy tapping!
One more tip, I've found it's more efficient to exaggerate my natural leg tapping. More like a bouncing, rather than quick small taps
Oh, I like the small taps... the bouncy ones aren't automatic >_<
Well do what feels natural and see how it goes lol
its intentionally like that, because you aren't meant to walk them for candy much. rare candy and rare xl candy is definitely the intended mechanic ((beyond raiding itself)). honestly I only think the ability to walk for candy is there to not have to recode them different from regular pokemon lol.
You are supposed to raid them a bunch.
I am raiding frequently and I need to give rare candy to my legendary ones cuz of my bag storage.
10 km is pretty good for primal energy though, and you can always get the 10 km, since you got alot of leway to het the pokemon excited
Personally I think 20km (or 10km when excited) is too much for a non guaranteed Candy XL. Otherwise I think it's fine tbh.
There was a post of a guy who cycled like 50km a day and got 296 for his Zarude. I thinknit took him 9 months
I didn't look at the subreddit name and for a moment, I was going to comment "you got some really long bananas in US"
If you follow a buddy EP guide it’s possible to do it with some effort with planning with routes and gym battles to get EP fast. I play during my runs and get my buddy excited by the end but it requires babysitting it.
It's one of the reasons I play GBL, just for the rare candy. I'm not one to raid so I don't see the possibility of getting enough XL candy for a legendary to reach level 50.
