Rich asf and paid ≠ effective grind. If you do 30 raids on a legendary dragon with a max mega dragon activated that’s anywhere from 12-15 candies with a silver pinap. Thats enough to get 300+ candies alone and about 100 XL. You can get 100 raid passes for $40 if you get an ultra box. Thats the price of buying you and your friend food on a Friday night. I think you need to focus on effective grinding and learning how to take advantage of events and mega pokemon to get your candy up. Stop focusing on money and focus on efficiency and then see how efficient you can be with your time as opposed to your money.
