Collector Insights

Rare Candy is an Item card from the Shield set, released on December 6, 2019. It is numbered 53 and classified as Uncommon rarity. 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 in their hand that evolves from that Pokémon, they may place the card onto the Basic Pokémon to evolve it, bypassing the Stage 1 requirement. This effect is conditional on the player not being on their first turn and the Basic Pokémon not having been placed into play during the current turn. The card’s artist is Yoshinobu Saito, and it is part of the Japanese language edition. Its unique function revolves around facilitating evolution through strategic card placement, offering a specific gameplay interaction tied to evolving Pokémon.

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.
