Note on Transfer Bonus
Now is a great chance to clean up your Pokémon storage! If you can hold off till Spotlight Hour, especially for any legendary raid bosses you raid throughout the week, that extra Candy is a great bonus.
If you do not want to catch the featured Pokémon, you can make use of the 2x Transfer Candy bonus in other ways.
- You can try transferring any saved Scatterbug, or opening a Mystery Box or Coin Bag! This is a great opportunity to clear out your storage, transfer Legendary Pokémon you have been clinging onto, and rare Pokémon you need more candy for.

Mega Pokémon that boost Yungoos
The following Pokémon will grant you extra bonuses when catching Yungoos if they are Mega-evolved.
Mega Catch Bonus
While a Pokémon is Mega-Evolved, additional XP and Candy are 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 Yungoos?
Not worth prioritising for PVP or PVE
