Pokémon in gyms should start collecting candy once they’ve reached the maximum 50 coins per day
Post Body

It’s clear Niantic won’t raise the amount of coins for defending a gym, so why not create a secondary prize that makes holding multiple gyms as long as possible worth while? Whether a Pokémon is in gym for 8 hours, or 8 days, you’ll only receive 50 coins. Why not give Pokémon-specific candies to Pokémon who defend a gym.

It would create more competition and battling in gyms, but also allow players to start dropping in different Pokémon. I’m tired of always seeing some combination involving Melmetal, Slaking, metagross, rhyperior, and snorlax in a gym. I want to see variety, and receiving candies after X number of hours would promote players to drop in new Pokémon.

Don’t wanna walk 5km for a deino candy? Put him in gym for a couple hours. 20km too much for meltan? Gym.

Would a candy every 3 hours be too much? Not enough? Perhaps the candies could be based on walking KM. 1 hour for magikarp, 5 hours for deino, etc. It’s not up to me to decide that, but I’d be much more likely to hit up gyms more often knowing I can receive rewards regardless of the situation, and candies to me seem to be the best secondary reward.
