Pokemon Go players are eagerly looking for candies in the game right now considering that it is a requirement to level up Dynamax moves. However, as it stands, this feature doesn't seem to be working properly, as other players seem to be facing similar issues, according to comments on the Reddit post.


As many Pokemon Go Players have noticed that it seems that the number of battles their Pokemon have witnessed remains at zero, even though they have participated in some.

It remains to be seen when Niantic fixes this issue, while players are unable to prepare their team to fight Dynamax Beldum in Pokemon Gowhich is a difficult Pokemon to defeat.
