A very simple and lightweight (only 44 KB) tool written in JAVA to calculate the best combo of Exp. Candies to use to reach a desired level with any Pokémon.
Note: “best combo” means to use the right combination of Exp. Candies types to get the needed amount of experience points to reach the desired level without to exceed it too far (a.k.a. the most efficient way to use Exp. Candies).
For example: to get 33.000 experience points (XP) you can use 2 Exp. Candies XL but that would mean to waste 27.000 XP (since each Exp. Candy XL gives you 30.000 XP), so it's better (more efficient) to use 1 Exp. Candy XL (30.000 XP) and 1 Exp. Candy M (3.000 XP) since this way you won't waste a single XP and you will save an Exp. Candy XL for future use too.
