As for the "Pokemon Go" U.S. beta testing update, Parent Herald reported earlier that the beta testing in the country has begun last week. The Silphroad reported that the second wave of "Pokemon Go" beta invite is already sent out. This means that more and more players will be able to access the anticipated title.

Pokemon Evolution In 'Pokemon Go' Uses Candy

On a separate note, ComicBook reported that players will have to use candies to evolve specific Pokemon. Per the report, the candies are specifically designed for a particular evolutionary line. For instance, "Pokemon Go" players can use the Charmander candy to evolve Charmender into a Charmeleon and then to a Charizard.

Breathecast reported that this method of evolution is easier than the previous ones based on the beta testing feedbacks. This approach is different from leveling up Pokemon in the video game. The usual approach of evolving Pokemon is through battle or rare candies while other methods include trading, stones, holding certain items, happiness, day and night.
