Is it worth using XL candy?

Yes, using XL Candy is worth it in Pokémon Go to power up your best Pokémon past level 40, especially Legendaries, Mythicals, and strong raid attackers for Master League or high-level raids, though it's best to prioritize getting their moves right first and saving them for top-tier Pokémon rather than common ones. It's crucial to get candies by catching during events (like Community Days), walking with them as a buddy, raiding, or trading, as converting regular candy is very inefficient.
