Pokémon GO: What Is XL Candy & How Do You Start Getting It?
Have you started collecting Candy XL (sometimes called XL Candy) in Pokémon GO and you're not sure what it's used for? Candy XL is used much like regular Candy, but it's only used once you hit level 40. You also get Candy XL in the same exact way as regular Candy, though there is a way to trade in your old regular Candies for the XL version. Keep reading to learn more about Candy XL, how to use it, and how to get it.
Things You Should Know
  • Candy XL is used the same exact way as Candy, but you only start getting it once you hit level 31.
  • Just like regular Candy, Candy XL follows a Pokémon's evolution chain.
  • You can get Candy XL the same way as regular Candy once you're at level 31 or higher.

Using Candy XL

Candy XL is used like regular Candy. The difference is that you start using Candy XL after you hit level 40, which is the former level cap. In June 2022, Pokémon GO's level cap was raised to 50, and after level 40 you must start using Candy XL to power up your Pokémon. Just like regular Candy, Candy XL is tied to your Pokémon's evolution chain, so a Charizard will use Charmander Candy XL.

Getting Candy XL

Trade 100 Candy for 1 Candy XL. If you desperately need Candy XL and don't have a use for regular Candy anymore, you can trade 100 regular Candy for a Candy XL of the same type.

Get Candy XL in the same way as regular Candy.
