Candy (Japanese: アメ Candy) is a type of currency introduced Pokémon GO and a type of item in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!.

In Pokémon GO

Each evolutionary family has its own kind of Candy, usually named after the lowest stage of each evolutionary family, which can only be used to evolve or Power Up members of that family. For example, Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, and Venusaur all require Bulbasaur Candy to Power Up. The Nidoran♀ and Nidoran♂ evolutionary families have separate Candy. Each different kind of candy has its own color scheme, based on the Pokémon it is named after. Prior to the addition of Generation II Pokémon, Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan had separate candies, which were later converted into Tyrogue Candy.

Acquisition

There are several ways to earn Candy, each method yielding Candy for the affected Pokémon:

Method	Candy
Catching Pokémon
Unevolved Pokémon	3
Second-stage Pokémon	5
Third-stage Pokémon	10
Using a Pinap Berry	×2
Hatching Eggs
Hatch a 2 km Egg	5 to 10
Hatch a 5 km Egg	10 to 21
Hatch a 7 km Egg	10 to 21
Hatch a 10 km Egg	16 to 32
Trading Pokémon
Obtained less than 10 km apart	1
Obtained 10 km up to 100 km apart	2
Obtained at least 100 km apart	3
Other
Transfer Pokémon to Professor Willow	1
Transfer Pokémon to Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!	1
Evolve a Pokémon	1
Walk a Buddy Pokémon a certain distance (1, 3, 5, or 20 km)	1
Feed a Berry to a Gym defender (randomly awarded)	1

Prior to February 16, 2017, all Pokémon gave 3 when captured.

Pokémon that can evolve from Baby Pokémon, except Togetic and Lucario, are considered to be unevolved Pokémon so only award 3 when caught, and their evolved forms only award 5 when caught.

Evolution

Main article: List of Pokémon by evolution family in Pokémon GO

The cost in candy to evolve a Pokémon is typically based on its number of evolution stages. Evolutionary costs generally follow this pattern, with some exceptions:

• Two-stage lines usually require 50.
  • Rattata, Eevee, Sentret, and Ledyba only require 25.
  • Feebas and Snorunt* require 100.
  • Magikarp, Wailmer, Swablu, and Meltan require 400.
• Three-stage lines require 25 for the first evolution and 100 for the second.
  • Pidgey, Caterpie, Weedle, Wurmple, and Whismur require only 12 for the first evolution and 50 for the second.
• Baby Pokémon require 25 to evolve for the first evolution and 50 for the second, if any.
  • Marill only requires 25 to evolve
  • Riolu and Munchlax require 50 to evolve.
• Regardless of the above, all Pokémon that evolve using a Sinnoh Stone require 100 to evolve.

Generation II evolutions which require a Sun Stone or evolution-inducing held item in the core series games also require that same item in Pokémon GO (in addition to candy). Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions introduced in Generation IV require a Sinnoh Stone and 100 to evolve. Other evolutionary stones (including the Ice Stone) are not required in Pokémon GO.

In past updates, two-stage Pokémon that cost 50 to evolve have their cost reduced to 25 whenever a cross-generational third-stage is added, like with Zubat and Duskull. Snorunt's evolution cost was increased when Froslass became available, due to it requiring a Sinnoh Stone to evolve into Froslass (and all Sinnoh Stone evolutions cost 100), the cost to evolve into Glalie was increased to match.

Power Up

Main article: Power Up → Levels

Powering Up Pokémon costs both Stardust 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 304 total (not including those used for any evolutions).

New Attack

Main article: Move → Pokémon GO

The player can spend Stardust and candy to teach a Pokémon a second Charged Attack. The cost varies on the Pokémon species and largely corresponds with the distance needed to walk for a Buddy Pokémon to find a candy, but with some exceptions, such as Starter Pokémon and Baby Pokémon. In addition, Caterpie, Metapod, Weedle, Kakuna, Magikarp, Ditto, Wynaut, Wobbuffet, Wurmple, Silcoon, Cascoon, Taillow, Feebas, Beldum and Kricketot cannot learn a second Charged Attack.

Stardust	Candy	Pokémon
10,000	25	Pokémon with 1 km Buddy distance Starter Pokémon Baby Pokémon
50,000	50	Pokémon with 3 km Buddy distance (except Starter and Baby Pokémon)
75,000	75	Pokémon with 5 km Buddy distance (except Starter and Baby Pokémon)
100,000	100	Pokémon with 20 km Buddy distance

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

In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, candy appears as a type of item stored in the Candy Jar. Candy can be used to increase a Pokémon's awakening values, except the Rare Candy, which instead boosts a Pokémon's level.

Effect

There are three types of candy: stat-based candy, species-based candy, and Rare 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 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 it hits 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.

For a complete list of costs, see Awakening values → Costs

Rare Candy, like in previous games, raises a Pokémon's level by one.

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. Professor Oak will award the player one stat-based candy for every Pokémon transferred, based off the candy it may yield when caught in the wild. For every 50 Pokémon of the same species transferred, Professor Oak will also award a species-specific candy for that Pokémon.

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.

The stat-based candies 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

Species-based candy can repeatedly be obtained via the following:

• Catch 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 (two candies per every 5,000 Exp. gained)
  • One candy for strolling Pokémon and one candy for walking Pokémon in game

Trivia

Evolution Shards

• 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 804, which include:
  • 304 to Power Up from level 1 to level 40
  • 400 to evolve
  • 100 to teach a second Charged Attack
