Origin

Rare Candy is an item in the Pokémon games that increases the level of the Pokémon it is given to by 1.

This card is one of the first to require common knowledge of Pokémon in general, as opposed to observable knowledge on the cards themselves (in this case, of the evolution families of Pokémon).
