Rare Candy artwork from Generation I
In spin-off games
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series
In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, Joy Seeds are the equivalent of Rare Candy.
Pokémon GO
Rare Candies in Pokémon GO are able to turn into Candy for any Pokémon. If the player selects Rare Candy in their Bag, they will then be able to select a Pokémon in their storage, which will turn one Rare Candy into one Candy for that Pokémon's evolutionary family.
Rare Candies can be obtained starting at level 5 exclusively as rewards for winning Raid Battles.
Rare Candy was introduced to Pokémon GO on June 22, 2017.
In the anime
Rare Candy appeared in Caterpie's Big Dilemma. However, unlike in the games, where Rare Candy levels up a Pokémon, in the episode it actually makes the Pokémon larger (and in some cases uncontrollable) due to the fact that this was a specially modified and experimental version of it. Brock said that the original would merely "enhance a Pokémon's abilities". Also, due to a dubbing error, the Rare Candy was referred by a direct translation of its Japanese name, Mystery Candy.
In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
In Innocent Scientist, Blake revealed that he had given his Dewott a Rare Candy and Resist Wing before heading to battle Genesect, boosting its defenses just enough for it to be able to survive an Electric-type Techno Blast.
In the TCG
- Main article: Rare Candy (EX Sandstorm 88)
The Rare Candy was introduced as a Trainer card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game during the English EX Series (the Japanese ADV Era) in the EX Sandstorm. Rare Candy was later reclassified in Japanese as an Item card during the LEGEND Era, and was reclassified in English in the Black & White Series (due to the classification not existing until then). It has been reprinted in the English HeartGold & SoulSilver Series (the Japanese LEGEND Era), the English Black & White Series (the Japanese BW Era), the English XY Series (the Japanese XY Era), and the English Sun & Moon Series (the Japanese Sun & Moon Era).
Prior to Undaunted, this card allowed the player to evolve a Basic Pokémon directly into a Stage 1 or Stage 2 Pokémon from their hand. From Undaunted onward, this card has the same effect as Pokémon Breeder from the Base Set, allowing the player to evolve a Basic Pokémon into a Stage 2 Pokémon from their hand.
Trivia
- The item duplication glitch is sometimes called the Rare Candy glitch due to the desirability of Rare Candies.
- Humans can consume Rare Candies, but they may not like them as this is the equivalent of eating dog food in the real world.[1]
