I got lucky, and had one of the events finally land on a weekend when I could take advantage, so I made the best use I could of the 4x buddy candy.
I've been walking my Larvitar for *weeks* (331.5 km so far) but the high speed candy on about 35k of that really helped - got me over the line to evolve through Pupitar to Tyranitar, and power up said Tyranitar to something that might stand a chance of holding a gym in my area. \m/
I also added to my Pokedex Stantler (unrelated, except I've never seen one before this past weekend, when I caught two) and Shuckle, as well as significantly upgrading my Macargo and Kabuto/Kabutops, and stocking up on Rhyhorn and Geodude candy in hopes of a strong stats hatch to come.
