#141 Rare Candy - Crown Zenith (swsh12pt5)

Rare Candy is a Trainer card from the Sword & Shield series, part of the Crown Zenith set released on January 20, 2023. Designed by artist Yoshinobu Saito, it is classified as an Uncommon rarity card. The card functions as a special Trainer rule that allows players to evolve a Basic Pokémon by placing a Stage 2 card from their hand onto it, bypassing the Stage 1 evolution step. This action requires selecting a Basic Pokémon in play and must be performed during a turn after the first. The card also permits the use of multiple Item cards during a single turn, enhancing strategic flexibility. It does not have any associated attacks, types, or retreat costs, and its rules do not involve weaknesses or resistances. The card’s unique mechanic focuses on accelerating evolution through existing Stage 2 cards in the player’s deck.
