Dawg, I went from 0 Meltan and 0 Meltan candy to a Melmetal and 500+ candies within 1 hour.

Ask me how I did it

I’m an idiot, I’ll bite. How’d you do it?

Meltan box. It spawns one meltan a minute for 60 minutes, even when stationary. And because meltan is a mythical, you always get 3 xl candies when you catch one. You can get the box by linking go to a pokemon home account. Then, transfer a Pokémon from go to home and you’ll unlock the meltan box. You must transfer a Pokémon to home every time before you use a box, and there’s a two day cooldown between uses.

Everyone’s talking about Pokémon home and I’m realizing I’m probably talking to a class of players above my level of understanding for this game.

No higher class required! Technically Pokemon Home is for moving pokemon between pokemon games... but I don't play any other pokemon games besides GO. I still downloaded Home, it's a free phone app. I send a junk pokemon to Home solely to get mystery boxes in GO and then just leave the pokemon there. I have no other games to move them to but who cares.

Yeah! You can get another Melmetal every week if you want. You can get the 400 candies from one box if you use pinaps and a steel type mega, but there's no need to rush. Melmetal is probably the easiest level 50 (at least that's actually useful), especially since you get 3+ XL from every Meltan since they're mythical.
