Unlock costs

Candy needed for a cost-6 starter:

Passive ability
20 🍬
Cost reductions
10 / 30 🍬

The price only drops once you have hatched enough Zapdos eggs: 13 🍬 after 15 hatches, 11 🍬 after 30 hatches, 7 🍬 after 60 hatches.

Expensive starters ask for fewer candies, but earn them far more slowly: Zapdos needs 200 friendship per candy, while a cost-1 starter earns one every 25.
