Obviously only an option for caught mons (i.e. not candy evos). TLDR: If you are doing this strat, make sure that the mons you choose to replace your two candies with are fast encounters (i.e. don't resign yourself to just doing Pewter as a quick fix to counteract the two lost mons). This strat is only worthwhile if you get your two encounters with no more than 1-2 combined extra encounters/breakouts.
