Niantic has not revealed until now the exact release date of Pokémon GO Gen 2 yet there are already a ton of materials sprouting to help anticipating players. To suffice every trainer's thirst for the upcoming game, here's a guide on which Pokémon candy every player should be saving starting today for Pokémon GO Gen 2.
Pokémon GO Gen 2 - Candy You Should Save From Now On
One of the recurring questions for now in preparation for Pokémon GO Gen 2 is which candy trainers should starting saving from now on. To get every trainer started, it is safe to keep a bunch of Eevee Candy and a good amount of IV Eevees. Based on the present meta, this type of Candy could help trainers easily gain Espeon or Umbreon. It could also be safe to save more of Kingdra, Porygon2 and Scizor. On the other hand, Steelix would not be too powerful in the new game.
