'''Candy''' (Japanese: '''アメ''' ''Candy'') is a type of currency introduced in {{g|GO}} and a type of item in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] and {{g|Sword and Shield}}.


==In the core series games==
'''Candy''' (Japanese: '''アメ''' ''Candy'') is a type of [[item]] in the [[Pokémon games]]. They can be used on a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} outside of {{pkmn|battle}} to permanently increase certain attributes.
Typically speaking, a Candy is an item that, when consumed by a Pokémon, permanently increases certain attributes. The [[Rare Candy]], introduced in [[Generation I]], is used to increase a Pokémon's [[level]] by one. It was the only Candy up until [[Generation VII]].


===In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!===
==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]].
 
===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]].

====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.

=====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.

====Acquisition====
=====Acquisition=====
Candy is most commonly obtained through catching [[wild Pokémon]] or 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.

Catching a wild Pokémon may sometimes award player a random number of Candy. The higher the player's [[Catch Combo]], the more likely that higher quantities and larger Candies will be awarded. A player may start earning regular-sized Candy after catching 30 Pokémon; Candy L can be earned after catching 60 Pokémon, and Candy XL can be earned after catching 90. Players may start earning species-specific candy after catching a total of 120 Pokémon.

===In Pokémon Sword and Shield===
====Pokémon Sword and Shield====
In {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}}, along with [[Rare Candy|Rare Candies]], two other types of Candy are available: Exp. Candy and Dynamax Candy.
=====Dynamax Candy=====
 
{{main|Dynamax Candy}}
====Exp. Candy====
A Dynamax Candy increases a Pokémon's [[Dynamax]] Level by one, which increases the amount of [[HP]] it gains upon Dynamaxing. Dynamax Candies can be obtained as rewards for winning [[Max Raid Battle]]s.
An Exp. Candy, depending on its size, increases a Pokémon's [[experience]] by a flat amount.

For comparison, given the average and most common [[Experience#Relation_to_level|experience group]]:
* An Exp. Candy XS would bring a level 1 Pokémon up to level 4, a level 5 Pokémon up to level 6, and a level 99 Pokémon about 0.3% of the way to level 100.
* An Exp. Candy S would bring a level 1 Pokémon up to level 9, a level 15 Pokémon up to level 16, and a level 99 Pokémon about 3% of the way to level 100.
* An Exp. Candy M would bring a level 1 Pokémon up to level 14, a level 31 Pokémon up to level 32, and a level 99 Pokémon about 10% of the way to level 100.
* An Exp. Candy L would bring a level 1 Pokémon up to level 21, a level 57 Pokémon up to level 58, and a level 99 Pokémon about 34% of the way to level 100.
* An Exp. Candy XL would bring a level 1 Pokémon up to level 31, and a level 99 Pokémon up to level 100.
 
The number of Exp. Candies XL needed to bring a level 1 Pokémon to level 100 depends on the experience group the Pokémon is in:
* Erratic: 20
* Fast: 27
* Medium Fast: 34
* Medium Slow: 36
* Slow: 42
* Fluctuating: 55
 
====Dynamax Candy====
:{{main|Dynamax Candy}}
A Dynamax Candy increases a Pokémon's [[Dynamax]] Level by one, which increases the amount of HP it gains upon Dynamaxing. Dynamax Candies can be obtained as rewards for winning [[Max Raid Battle]]s.
 
==In Pokémon GO==
[[File:GO Candy.png|thumb|Generic artwork of Candy in {{g|GO}}]]
In {{g|GO}}, each evolutionary family has its own kind of Candy, usually named after the lowest stage of each [[List of Pokémon by evolution family in Pokémon GO|evolutionary family]], which can only be used on members of that family. For example, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Venusaur}} all require Bulbasaur Candy to [[Power Up]]. The {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}} evolutionary families have separate Candies. Each Candy has its own color scheme based on the Pokémon it is named after. Prior to the addition of [[Generation II]] Pokémon, {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmonchan}} had their own Candies, which were later converted into {{p|Tyrogue}} Candy.
 
In June 2017, the [[Rare Candy#Pokémon GO|Rare Candy]] was introduced as a wildcard Candy. It's a rainbow-colored Candy that, when used on a Pokémon, turns into the Candy of that evolutionary family.
 
===Acquisition===
There are several ways to earn Candy, each method yielding Candy for the affected Pokémon:

Prior to February 16, 2017, all Pokémon gave {{candy}}3 when captured.
 
Pokémon that can evolve from [[Baby Pokémon]], except {{p|Togetic}} and {{p|Lucario}}, are considered to be unevolved Pokémon, so only award {{candy}}3 when caught, and their evolved forms only award {{candy}}5 when caught.
 
===Evolution===
{{main|List of Pokémon by evolution family in Pokémon GO}}
Candy is required for Pokémon to [[evolution|evolve]]. The cost in candy to evolve a Pokémon is typically based on its number of evolution stages, but with some exceptions:
 
* Two-stage lines usually require {{candy}}50.
** {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Sentret}}, and {{p|Ledyba}} only require {{candy}}25.
** {{p|Feebas}} and {{p|Snorunt}}{{tt|*|Increased from 50 on Feb. 1, 2019}} require {{candy}}100.
** {{p|Magikarp}}, {{p|Wailmer}}, {{p|Swablu}}, {{p|Larvesta}} and {{p|Meltan}} require {{candy}}400.
* Three-stage lines require {{candy}}25 for the first evolution and {{candy}}100 for the second.
** {{p|Pidgey}}, {{p|Caterpie}}, {{p|Weedle}}, {{p|Wurmple}}, {{p|Whismur}}, and {{p|Pidove}} require only {{candy}}12 for the first evolution and {{candy}}50 for the second.
* [[Baby Pokémon]] require {{candy}}25 to evolve for the first evolution and {{candy}}50 for the second, if any.
** {{p|Marill}} only requires {{candy}}25 to evolve.
** All two-stage Baby Pokémon introduced in [[Generation IV]] require {{candy}}50 to evolve.
* Regardless of the above, all Pokémon that evolve using a [[Sinnoh Stone]] require {{candy}}100 to evolve.
* Regardless of the above, Pokémon introduced in [[Generation V]] that are eligible for [[trade]] Evolution cost {{candy}}50 to evolve into the middle stage, if any, and {{candy}}200 to evolve into the final stage, if not traded.
 
[[Generation II]] evolutions which require a [[Sun Stone]] or [[evolution item]] in the [[core series]] games also require that same item in Pokémon GO (in addition to Candy). Most Pokémon with [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|cross-generational evolutions]] introduced in [[Generation IV]] require a [[Sinnoh Stone]] and {{candy}}100 to evolve. For evolutionary families introduced prior to [[Generation V]], other Evolution stones (including the [[Ice Stone]]) are not required in Pokémon GO. The [[Unova Stone]] is required for all Unova-based evolutions that require some Evolution stone, except for {{p|Cottonee}} and {{p|Petilil}}, which require a Sun Stone instead.
 
In past updates, two-stage Pokémon that cost {{candy}}50 to evolve have their cost reduced to {{candy}}25 whenever a cross-generational third-stage is added, like with {{p|Zubat}} and {{p|Duskull}}. {{p|Snorunt}}'s evolution cost was increased when {{p|Froslass}} became available, due to it requiring a Sinnoh Stone to evolve into Froslass (and all Sinnoh Stone evolutions cost {{candy}}100), the cost to evolve into Glalie was increased to match.
 
[[Shadow Pokémon (GO)|Purified Pokémon]] require 10% less Candy to evolve, with costs rounded down. For instance, a Purified Rattata, which would normally cost {{candy|Rattata}}25 to evolve, would instead only require {{candy|Rattata}}22.
 
===Power Up===
{{main|Power Up#Levels|Power Up &rarr; Levels}}
Powering Up Pokémon costs both {{OBP|Stardust|GO}} and Candy. The cost to Power Up increases with the Power Up level. If a Pokémon were to be Powered Up from level 1 all the way to the maximum level 40, it would require {{candy}}304 total (not including any used for evolution).
 
Shadow Pokémon require 3× Candy and Stardust to Power Up at all levels. Once purified, they require 10% less Candy and Stardust to Power Up than normal (with decimals of 0.5 or lower rounded down).

The player can spend {{OBP|Stardust|GO}} and Candy to teach a Pokémon a second Charged Attack. In addition, {{p|Wobbuffet}}, {{p|Smeargle}}, {{p|Taillow}}, and any Pokémon that learns {{DL|Struggle (move)|Pokémon GO|Struggle}} cannot learn a second Charged Attack, except for [[Shadow Pokémon (GO)|Shadow or Purified forms]] that already know {{m|Frustration}} or {{m|Return}}.
 
The cost varies depending on the Pokémon species and largely corresponds with the distance needed to walk for a [[Buddy Pokémon]] to find a Candy. In addition {{OBP|Shadow Pokémon|GO}}, compared to their base forms, requires 1.2× Stardust and Candy to learn a second Charged Attack, while Purified Pokémon require 0.8× the base amounts.

===Purification===
Purifying a {{OBP|Shadow Pokémon|GO}} requires both Stardust and Candy, with the amount required proportional to the Shadow Pokémon's Buddy distance.

* In pre-release screenshots of [[Pokémon GO]], Evolution Shards (Japanese: 進化のカケラ ''Evolution Shards'') take the role of Candy, being earned by catching multiple instances of the same Pokémon and being used to evolve Pokémon. They did not have unique names or designs for each evolutionary family.
* The maximum possible amount of candy that can potentially be used on a single Pokémon in GO is {{candy|Meltan}}804 on {{p|Melmetal}}, which include:
** {{candy|Meltan}}304 to Power Up from level 1 to level 40
** {{candy|Meltan}}400 to evolve
** {{candy|Meltan}}100 to teach a second Charged Attack

If you were looking for the currency in Pokémon GO, see Candy (GO). For the currency in Pokémon Sleep, see Candy (Sleep).

Candy (Japanese: アメ Candy) is a type of item in the Pokémon games. They can be used on a Pokémon outside of battle to permanently increase certain attributes.

Types of Candy

Rare Candy

Main article: Rare Candy

A Rare Candy increases a Pokémon's level by one. It can also be used to evolve level 100 Pokémon that evolve by leveling up.

Exp. Candy

Main article: 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 AVs, except the Rare Candy, which instead boosts a Pokémon's level.

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 Candy
HP Health Candy Health Candy Health Candy L Health Candy L Health Candy XL Health Candy XL
Attack Mighty Candy Mighty Candy Mighty Candy L Mighty Candy L Mighty Candy XL Mighty Candy XL
Defense Tough Candy Tough Candy Tough Candy L Tough Candy L Tough Candy XL Tough Candy XL
Special Attack Smart Candy Smart Candy Smart Candy L Smart Candy L Smart Candy XL Smart Candy XL

Speed Quick Candy Quick Candy Quick Candy L Quick Candy L Quick Candy XL Quick Candy XL
Min Level — Lv 30+ Lv 60+
Max AVs 50 100 200


The following lists how many Candy it takes to incrementally increase a Pokémon's AV to a certain value, depending on the Candy's size.

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 Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, and 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 Tyrogue, Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan have separate Candy.

Acquisition

Candy is most commonly obtained through catching wild Pokémon or 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 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 Seadra which gives both Defense and Special Attack EVs, may award Tough Candies, Smart Candies, or both.

See also: List of Pokémon by effort value yield

Catching a wild Pokémon may sometimes award player a random number of Candy. The higher the player's Catch Combo, the more likely that higher quantities and larger Candies will be awarded. A player may start earning regular-sized Candy after catching 30 Pokémon; Candy L can be earned after catching 60 Pokémon, and Candy XL can be earned after catching 90. Players may start earning species-specific candy after catching a total of 120 Pokémon.

For every Pokémon transferred, Professor Oak will award the player one stat-based Candy based on whichever Candy it may yield when caught in the wild. Transferring (releasing) Mew uniquely gives the player with 2 Mew Candy immediately, in addition to the regular 1 Health Candy.[1]

Species-based Candy can repeatedly be obtained by:

  • Catching compatible Pokémon (chance of obtaining increases with Catch Combo)
  • Transfer 50 compatible Pokémon of the same species to Professor Oak
  • Stroll Pokémon with Poké Ball Plus (up to two Candies per every 5,000 Exp. gained)
    • One Candy for strolling Pokémon and one Candy for walking Pokémon in game, if any

Several Voltorb Candy can be found daily as hidden items in the Power Plant

Additionally, depending on the game, players can obtain PikachuP/EeveeE Candy once through the following means:

Note that as a result of the various acquisition methods, species-specific Candy for Legendary and Mythical Pokémon can only be obtained through one or more of the following methods:

  • Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres: Repeatedly catch through wild sky rare encounters, transfer multiple from GO and send to Professor Oak, or stroll with the Poké Ball Plus
  • Mewtwo: Transfer multiple from GO and send to Professor Oak, or stroll with the Poké Ball Plus. With no external devices, the only way to obtain one or more Mewtwo Candy would be to trade over numerous Mewtwo from separate save files before sending all of them to Professor Oak.
  • Meltan: Transfer multiple from GO and send to Professor Oak, or stroll with the Poké Ball Plus
  • Mew: Stroll with the Poké Ball Plus only
