In Pokémon Go, I currently have two open Special Quests: Mew & Celebi.
I’m currently at step 6/8 for Celebi. I have too many of each evolution item (Dragon Scale, King’s Rock, Metal Coat, Sun Stone, and Up-Grade) from hitting Poke stops & playing over time. What I don’t have is enough candy. Since catching enough of these monsters is not reliable, I have to walk one as my buddy to get enough candy to evolve (with an item).
What I wanted to find out is which pokemon to walk & evolve. Crucial questions are 1.) how many kilometers it takes to walk as your buddy to get candy and 2.) how many candies it takes to evolve.
| From | To | Item | Evolve (candy) | Walk (km) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Poliwhirl | Politoed | King’s Rock | 100 | 3km |
| Slowpoke | Slowking | King’s Rock | 50 | 3km |
| Gloom | Bellossom | Sun Stone | 100 | 3km |
| Sunkern | Sunflora | Sun Stone | 50 | 3km |
| Porygon | Porygon2 | Up-Grade | 50 | 3km |
| Seadra | Kingdra | Dragon Scale | 100 | 3km |
| Scyther | Scizor | Metal Coat | 50 | 5km |
| Onix | Steelix | Metal Coat | 50 | 5km |
To use this chart, I would recommend looking at which pokemon in the From column you have. Next make a note of how many candy you have for each of those pokemon. To meet the quest requirements in a timely manner, you want to pick pokemon to evolve which only require 50 candy & 3km to walk per candy (also factoring in how much candy you have already).
