Candy Calculator

Enter a level range to see exactly how many power-ups — and how much regular and XL Candy — it takes to fully power up a Pokémon.

How Candy costs scale

Every half-level power-up costs a fixed amount of Candy and Stardust, and the cost rises in tiers as a Pokémon gets stronger — 1 Candy per power-up early on, climbing to 4 Candy (plus XL Candy) once you're pushing past level 40. This calculator adds up every step between your current and target level using Niantic's published cost table, so you know the total before you start spending.

Need the Stardust total too? Use the Stardust Calculator — it uses the same table.
