Summary
Pokemon GOfans are unhappy about the fact that the cost of Dynamax upgrades for Beldum is much higher than the previously released Pokemon, with the difference being as much as 20 candies for each level. The cost of upgrading the Dynamax moves for Pokemon has been a point of contention ever since the mechanic debuted, and this change has infuriated thePokemon GOfanbase even further.
The long-awaitedDynamax feature was recently added toPokemon GO, and it has received a mixed reception from the community. While new features are always welcomed by the community, many fans consider the mechanic a gimmick. While the mechanic debuted with the Kanto starters alongside Wooloo and Skwovet, Niantic added the Dynamax variant of Beldum as part of the Psychic Spectacular event. This came off as quite a surprise since Mega Metagross has been one of the most awaited Pokemon variants in the game, and the Dynamax version was released before that. Amid that, fans are quite unhappy about another change that is coming with the new Dynamax Pokemon that is being released inPokemon GO.
In a new post on The Silph Road subreddit, user DaystarEld reveals an interesting difference between Dynamax Beldum and other Pokemon. Apparently, players will need to shell out 70 Beldum candies for Max Guard and 120 Beldum candies for Max Strike to be able to upgrade to level 2. While theMax Particle cost is the same inPokemon GO, the increase in the number of candies is about 20, which is something fans are unhappy about.
Pokemon GO Fans Unhappy Over Increased Candy Requirements for Dynamax Pokemon
Considering that players also require XL Candies to upgrade moves, fans are unsure if they will be able to collect the amount needed to be able to do the upgrade. For level 3 upgrades, players will need 10 more XL Candy than the regular amount to reach the max level. Additionally, fans are worried thatrare Pokemon inPokemon GOwill have even steeper candy requirements, which might make upgrading their moves even more difficult.
On the flip side, some fans think that the price for Beldum isn’t too harsh considering that fans have got aBeldum Community Day inPokemon GOrecently. However, considering how little utility Max moves have inPokemon GOas of now, many are still a bit skeptical about the mechanic. Some are expecting that the costs will be reworked going forward, but there has been no update from Niantic’s end on that so far.
