Collector Insights

Rare Candy is an Item card from the Charizard Starter Set VMAX 2, released on December 4, 2020. The card is illustrated by Yoshinobu Saito and features a unique ability tied to evolving Basic Pokémon. Its flavor text describes a mechanic where a player selects one of their Basic Pokémon in play, then checks if they hold a Stage 2 card that evolves from that Pokémon. If so, the player can place the Stage 2 card onto the Basic Pokémon to evolve it, bypassing the Stage 1 evolution step. This effect is conditional on the player not having used the card during their first turn or on a Basic Pokémon that entered play in the current turn. The card’s number in the set is 12, and it belongs to a specific release series. Its function focuses on strategic evolution mechanics without involving direct combat or HP statistics.

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.
