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!

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

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

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

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

Does it take into account the 1 candy you net post evolution?

Yep!

How about grinding them up as you go? I.e. transferring post evolution to grab one more candy. Doesn't slow things down much

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.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

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

Yep.

I may have stored too many pidgeys and weevils. I think it's going to take me at least 2 lucky eggs for the time to evolve them all.

If the servers are being responsive, it's almost twice as fast to quit the game and reopen it after clicking evolve.

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.

9 years ago | Likes 24 Dislikes 0

yeah that makes sense but my battery!

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

If you're spending the whole time evolving, couldn't you just wait to do until you can keep your phone plugged in for the duration?

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

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.

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Hey @bchn - I agree with this! Rattatas especially

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

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

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

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

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

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.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

if you have enough money to blow and time o kill that you can do that many evolves on them... then you dont need a calculator hehe

Would you evolve the pidgeottos or leave them as is.

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

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

9 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

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.
