Collector Insights

Rare Candy is an Item card from the Master Deck Build Box EX set, released on September 14, 2012. Designed by artist Ryo Ueda, it serves as a special evolutionary tool for Basic Pokémon. The card’s flavor text describes a mechanic where a player selects one of their Basic Pokémon in play. If they possess a Stage 2 card that evolves from that Pokémon in their hand, they can place that card on the chosen Basic Pokémon, effectively evolving it. This action counts as the evolution process for the selected Pokémon. The card’s restriction prevents its use during the first turn or on Basic Pokémon that entered play in the same turn. Its unique function emphasizes strategic resource management and deck-building flexibility. As an Item card, it operates independently of traditional attack or defense mechanics.

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.
