== | ==Types of Candy== | ||
===Rare Candy=== | |||
{{main|Rare Candy}} | |||
A Rare Candy increases a Pokémon's level by one. It can also be used to [[Evolution|evolve]] level 100 Pokémon that [[Methods of evolution#Leveling up|evolve by leveling up]]. | |||
===Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!=== | ===Exp. Candy=== | ||
{{main|Exp. Candy}} | |||
An Exp. Candy increases a Pokémon's [[experience]] by a flat amount, which is different depending on the size. | |||
===Game-exclusive Candy=== | |||
====Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!==== | |||
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], there are three types of Candy: stat-based Candy, species-based Candy, and Rare Candy, which appear as a type of item stored in the '''Candy Jar'''. Candy can be used to increase a Pokémon's {{AV}}s, except the [[Rare Candy]], which instead boosts a Pokémon's [[level]]. | In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], there are three types of Candy: stat-based Candy, species-based Candy, and Rare Candy, which appear as a type of item stored in the '''Candy Jar'''.

====Stat-based Candy==== | =====Stat-based Candy===== | ||
Stat-based candy can be used by any Pokémon to raise the AV of a specific stat, depending on the kind of Candy. They come in three sizes: regular, L and XL. They are more commonly found than species-specific Candy, as multiple of these Candies are often required to raise a single AV point. As a Pokémon's AV increases for a stat, it will require more and larger Candy to further increase the same stat by one AV. Regular-sized Candy can only raise a stat up to 50 AVs. L-sized Candy can go up to 100 AVs, but require the Pokémon to be at least level 30. XL-sized Candy can reach the maximum 200 AVs, but only work for level 60 and up. | Stat-based candy can be used by any Pokémon to raise the AV of a specific stat, depending on the kind of Candy.

=====Species-based Candy===== | |||
====Species-based Candy==== | |||
Species-based Candy can only be used by Pokémon of its corresponding evolutionary family. Bulbasaur Candy, for example, can only be used by {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Venusaur}}. When one is used, it will increase all stats by one AV point, up until all stats hit the maximum 200 AVs, and has no level requirements. Unlike in Pokémon GO, species-specific Candy do not play a role in evolution. Additionally, unlike Pokémon GO since the introduction of {{p|Tyrogue}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmonchan}} have separate Candy. | Species-based Candy can only be used by Pokémon of its corresponding evolutionary family.

====Acquisition==== | =====Acquisition===== | ||
Candy is most commonly obtained through catching [[wild Pokémon]] or [[Released Pokémon|transferring]] Pokémon to [[Professor Oak]]. The type of Candy obtained depends on the species caught or transferred. The stat-based Candies that can be rewarded correspond directly with the species' [[effort values]] yield in other core series game. For example, if a Pokémon like {{p|Growlithe}} would yield EVs in Attack in those games, it may award Mighty Candies (of any size) if caught in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!. Pokémon that would yield EVs for multiple stats, like {{p|Seadra}} which gives both Defense and Special Attack EVs, may award Tough Candies, Smart Candies, or both. | Candy is most commonly obtained through catching [[wild Pokémon]] or [[Released Pokémon|transferring]] Pokémon to [[Professor Oak]].
