'''Candy''' is a type of currency in [[Pokémon GO]]. It can be used to [[evolution|evolve]] or power up Pokémon.
 
Each evolutionary family has their own kind of Candy, named after the lowest stage of each [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolutionary family]], which can only be used to evolve or strengthen members of that family. For example, Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, and Venusaur are all powered up by Bulbasaur Candy, and may not use any other kind of Candy. {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmonchan}} have separate Candy, as do the {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}} evolutionary families. Each different kind of Candy has its own color scheme, based on the Pokémon it is named after.
 
==Obtaining Candy==
There are several ways to earn Candy:
* Catching a Pokémon gives the player 3 of that Pokémon's Candy.
* Hatching a Pokémon from an {{pkmn|Egg}} gives the player some of that Pokémon's Candy. The number of Candy obtained varies.
* The player can permanently transfer a Pokémon to [[Professor Willow]] in exchange for 1 piece of its Candy.
* Evolving a Pokémon gives the player 1 of that Pokémon's Candy.

Artwork of a generic Candy

Candy is a type of currency in Pokémon GO. It can be used to evolve or power up Pokémon.

Each evolutionary family has their own kind of Candy, named after the lowest stage of each evolutionary family, which can only be used to evolve or strengthen members of that family. For example, Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, and Venusaur are all powered up by Bulbasaur Candy, and may not use any other kind of Candy. Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan have separate Candy, as do the Nidoran♀ and Nidoran♂ evolutionary families. Each different kind of Candy has its own color scheme, based on the Pokémon it is named after.

Obtaining Candy

There are several ways to earn Candy:

  • Catching a Pokémon gives the player 3 of that Pokémon's Candy.
  • Hatching a Pokémon from an Egg gives the player some of that Pokémon's Candy. The number of Candy obtained varies.
  • The player can permanently transfer a Pokémon to Professor Willow in exchange for 1 piece of its Candy.
  • Evolving a Pokémon gives the player 1 of that Pokémon's Candy.
