Collector Insights

Rare Candy is an Item-type Pokémon TCG card designed for the Blastoise + Kyurem-EX Combo Deck, released in 2013. Created by artist Ryo Ueda, the card features a unique mechanic allowing players to interact with their Basic Pokémon in play. Its flavor text describes a scenario where a player selects one of their Basic Pokémon and checks if a Stage 2 evolution from that Pokémon exists in their hand. If so, the card can be placed on the chosen Basic Pokémon, effectively evolving it. This ability is conditional, requiring the player to have the specific Stage 2 card available. The card cannot be used during the player’s first turn or on a Basic Pokémon that was recently placed into play. It holds the card number 10 within its set and is part of a specialized deck build focused on synergistic evolution strategies. The card’s functionality emphasizes strategic timing and resource management in gameplay.

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.
