Collector Insights

Rare Candy is an Item-type card from the Black & White Promos set, released on December 1, 2010. Designed by artist Ryo Ueda, it serves as a promo card with a unique evolutionary mechanic. The card’s flavor text describes a strategy where a player selects one of their Basic Pokémon in play and uses a Stage 2 card from their hand to evolve it, bypassing the Stage 1 requirement. This effect is conditional on the player having a compatible Stage 2 card available. The card’s number in the set is 138, and it holds a Promo rarity designation. Its functionality is strictly tied to the specified evolutionary condition, with restrictions preventing its use during the first turn or on Basic Pokémon that entered play in the same turn. The card’s design and purpose align with the set’s thematic focus on rare and special edition cards.

Choose 1 of your Basic Pokémon in play. If you have a Stage 2 card in your hand that evolves from that Pokémon, put that card onto the Basic Pokémon to evolve it, skipping the Stage 1. You can't use this card during your first turn or on a Basic Pokémon that was put into play this turn.
