The author proceeded to explain that many of the rarer Dragon-type species will be coming to Pokémon Go during the Dragons Unleashed Lunar New Year event, and that means trainers looking to maximize their XL Candy gains when the Dragons Unleashed Carnival Love will begin should follow this procedure:

Capture all Dragon-type Pokémon that require 25 candies to evolve.
Prioritize which ones you want to get XL Candies from and keep them in your Storage.
Farm regular candy and unevolved Pokémon from February 5 to February 11. Use Nanana Berries to speed up the process.
During the Carnival of Love (February 13 to February 15), evolve saved dragon Pokémon, and you will get 2 XL Candies for every 25 candies spent.

According to this player: “That’s a rate of 12.5 to 1, which is 8 times more profitable than the normal conversion rate of 100 to 1.”

The author also offered some additional tips for maximizing your XL Candy gains, which include saving species that evolve through trading, avoiding Pokémon that are expensive to evolve (or use evolution items), and Maximize your earnings by adding more space to your storage if you can.

There you have it, this is an excellent method to maximize your XL Candy winnings during upcoming events.
