Key points

  • Pokémon GO players are unable to receive Candy from Energy Points due to a bug, which affects Dynamax bonuses.
  • By placing Pokémon in Energy Spots, you can earn Candy by helping other Trainers in Dynamax Battles.
  • Players are encountering a bug where Pokémon are not receiving rewards for battles, hindering preparation for Dynamax Encounters.



Pokemon GO fans are facing a strange issue where they can't receive Candy for placing their Pokémon in a Power Spot, removing one of the most important bonuses that can be obtained from these special locations. Power Spots were added as part of the recently introduced Dynamax feature in Pokemon GOand are basically the equivalent of Gyms for Dynamax Pokémon.

The Dynamax feature has been rumored for a long time now, and Niantic has finally launched it as part of the Max Out season in Pokemon GO. The mechanic had already received a mixed reception from the community at launch, and now it looks like a strange bug has exacerbated players' problems.

In a new post on the Silph Road subreddit, user Clarita8 highlights a frustrating bug that has affected the game after Pokemon GO Dynamax Update. Apparently, users are not getting the candy bonus for placing their Pokémon in Power Spots. The user says they have tried restarting and reinstalling the game, and even using different Pokémon, but to no avail. They have also tried contacting Niantic Support, but that doesn't seem to work either.



How to Earn Candy from Power Spots in Pokemon GO

Similar to regular Gyms, players can place Pokémon in Energy Spots in Pokemon GO. This is a widely used mechanic as placing a Pokémon in a Power Spot ensures that players can earn Candy for the Pokémon. Each time a player places a Pokémon in a Power Spot, that Pokémon will help other Trainers battle the Dynamax Pokémon, and players will receive rewards for each battle the Pokémon takes part in. Pokemon GO Players are eager to find candy in the game right now, considering it is a requirement to level up Dynamax Moves. However, as things stand, this feature does not seem to be working properly, as several other players seem to be having similar issues, according to the comments in the Reddit post.


Like many Pokemon GO players have noticed that it appears the number of battles their Pokémon have witnessed remains at zero even if they have participated in some. While most players have reported placing their Pokémon in crowded Power Spots but still not receiving rewards, one fan even confirmed the bug by asking their friends to take part in a Dynamax Battle after placing their Pokémon. It remains to be seen when Niantic will fix this issue, while players are unable to prepare their team to battle Dynamax Beldum in Pokemon GOwhich is a difficult Pokémon to beat.
