Note on Catch Bonus

If you do not want to catch the featured Pokémon, you can make use of the 2x Catch Candy bonus by catching any saved Scatterbug, or opening a Mystery Box or Coin Bag! You can stock up field research or leave any special or timed research encounters until Spotlight Hour to make use of this bonus. If you aren’t interested in Hoppip candy, you could even use this bonus to get extra candy from catching raid bosses!

Mega Pokémon that boost Hoppip

The following Pokémon will grant you extra bonuses when catching Hoppip if they are Mega/Primal evolved.

A Note on Mega Catch Bonus

While a Pokémon is Mega-Evolved, additional XP and Candy is granted when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it, or for any raid boss caught. These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.

Is it worth evolving Hoppip?

No, not really. Hoppip and its evolutions do not hold any relevancy in the PVP meta. It’s worth evolving for the dex (or shiny dex), but it’s not really much more than a collection ‘mon. 

If you’re out and about, it might be worth completing a few Mega Venusaur or Tapu Lele raids for the candy bonus, as they can be useful raid attackers and their candy for powering up is not as easy to come by.
