Unlock costs

Candy needed for a cost-1 starter:

Passive ability: 40 🍬
Cost reductions: 25 / 60 🍬
Same-species egg: 30 🍬; The price only drops once you have hatched enough Weedle eggs: 27 🍬 after 20 hatches, 22 🍬 after 40 hatches, 15 🍬 after 80 hatches.
Friendship needed per candy: 25

Expensive starters ask for fewer candies, but earn them far more slowly: Weedle needs 25 friendship per candy, while a cost-1 starter earns one every 25.

Weedle : the not-so-weak Glass Bazooka

(Preface, I will mainly talk about Mega-Beedrill, because although base Beedrill is usable, it needs the mega to work properly. Also although this guide is mainly for classic, it can also work for inverted challenge, where M-Beedrill is far stronger, in that case ignore the remarks on its typing) Beedrill Mega, often seen as the "worst mega" (OK only in vgc), today I want to put it on the spotlight. Admittedly, it isn't perfect, and isn't able to carry 100% of the run, but I believe that with the good tools and support, it can wreak havoc.
