Collector Insights

Rare Candy is an Item card from the XY Promos set, released on August 1, 2013. It is numbered 136 and carries a Promo rarity designation. The card is illustrated by artist Toyste Beach and serves as a unique support card in the Pokémon TCG. Its flavor text describes a strategic interaction where a player selects one of their Basic Pokémon in play. If the player holds a Stage 2 card that evolves from the chosen Pokémon, 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 not using the card during their first turn or on a Basic Pokémon that was recently placed into play. The card’s mechanics emphasize conditional evolution and resource management within gameplay. Its role as an Item card highlights its utility in facilitating specific evolutionary strategies. The absence of attack or HP statistics aligns with its classification as a non-combatant support card.

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.
