Collector Insights

Rare Candy is an Item-type card from the Black Kyurem-EX Battle Strength Deck. It was released on October 19, 2012, and is numbered 11 in its set. The card is illustrated by artist Ryo Ueda. Its flavor text describes a mechanic where a player selects one of their Basic Pokémon in play. If the player holds a Stage 2 card that evolves from the chosen Pokémon, they can place that card onto the Basic Pokémon, effectively evolving it. This ability is conditional, requiring the player to meet specific criteria. The card cannot be used during the first turn or on a Basic Pokémon that entered play in the same turn. The card’s unique interaction revolves around evolving Pokémon through card placement rather than traditional evolution rules.

Choose 1 of your Basic Pokémon in play. If you have a Stage 2 card that evolves from that Pokémon in your hand, put that card on the Basic Pokémon. (This counts as evolving that Pokémon.) You can't use this card during your first turn or on a Basic Pokémon that was put into play this turn.
