Collector Insights

Rare Candy is an Item card from the Starter Deck 100 set, released on December 17, 2021. It is illustrated by Yoshinobu Saito and is numbered 376 in the Japanese edition. The card’s flavor text describes a mechanic allowing players to choose a Basic Pokémon in play and evolve it using a Stage 2 card from their hand, bypassing the Stage 1 evolution step. This effect requires the player to have a compatible Stage 2 card available and applies only to Basic Pokémon not placed into play during the current turn. The card’s functionality is limited to turns after the first, preventing its use during the initial turn of the game. Its role as an Item emphasizes strategic resource management during gameplay. The card’s design and mechanics align with the Starter Deck 100’s focus on introductory Pokémon TCG concepts.

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.
