Collector Insights

Rare Candy is an Item card from the Fuecoco & Ampharos ex Starter Set ex, released on January 20, 2023, with a card number of 14. It functions as a special evolutionary tool, allowing players to choose one of their Basic Pokémon in play. The card’s flavor text describes a mechanic where a player checks if they hold a Stage 2 card that evolves from the selected Basic Pokémon. If so, they may place that card onto the Basic Pokémon to evolve it, bypassing the Stage 1 evolution step. This effect is conditional on the player having the required Stage 2 card in their hand. The card cannot be used during the first turn or on a Basic Pokémon that was recently placed into play. Its unique interaction emphasizes strategic resource management and timing in gameplay. The card’s design aligns with the set’s theme of introducing foundational Pokémon evolution mechanics.

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.
