Pokemon GO Players Want One Feature From Mega Lucario Raid to Become Standard (2024)

Pokemon GO players want the Rare Candy XL drops from the Mega Lucario Raid Day to be a common feature in future events and not just a one-off thing, as it provides users more incentive to take part in raids. Considering how difficult it is to get Rare Candy XL and how crucial the item is, fans have been requesting that Niantic introduce more ways to earn the item in Pokemon GO for a long time now.

The Mega Lucario Raid Day has been one of the most anticipated events in Pokemon GO, but the event had some issues surrounding it. In the end, Niantic ended up organizing a makeup Mega Lucario Raid Day event in Pokemon GO to compensate the players who encountered the problems. On the positive end of the spectrum, players think that the Mega Lucario Raid Day has introduced a crucial feature to Pokemon GO.

In a new post on the Pokemon GO subreddit, user Entire_Pineapple4732 highlights an important aspect of the Mega Lucario Raid Day that should continue to feature in future events. Niantic had for the first time announced that players can get Rare Candy XL as a guaranteed drop from the Mega Lucario Raid Day. This only applied to players who had the ticket, were above level 31, and ended up catching Lucario, but it is still a change fans have been quite receptive to. That's not all, either, as the event boosted the drop rate of Rare Candy XL from in-person raids. Based on the positive feedback, it's clear that fans want this to be a permanent feature going forward.

Why Is Rare Candy XL So Important In Pokemon GO?

As the original poster highlights, they took part in 80 raids, and did they not get a hundo Lucario in Pokemon GO, nor did they get a good shiny. However, they were still satisfied after every raid as it gave the guaranteed Rare Candy XL, which can be used for other Pokemon as well. Some players even highlighted that this was the driving factor behind their decision to buy the ticket, and they had initially planned to skip it.

Rare Candy XL has been one of the hardest-to-obtain items in Pokemon GO, and it is an incredibly useful item. Candy XL is required for leveling up Pokemon beyond level 40. What Rare Candy XL does is help players transform it into any regular Candy XL for any Pokemon, making it an extremely versatile item. Outside of raids, the only other realistic way of getting Candy XL is walking long distances. Rare Candy XL can be extremely helpful for Pokemon such as legendaries, which are not featured often in raids.
