Changes: Candy

Revision as of 17:20, 4 April 2020

Candy is a consumable, Pokémon-related resource that can be used to power up and evolve Pokémon. Candy is acquired by various ways such as capturing Pokémon (3 for first evolution form, 5 for second evolution form, 10 for last evolution form), or hatching eggs (various amounts). One can double the amount of candies one gets by giving the Pokémon a Pinap Berry before catching it.

Usage

Pokémon power up

Candies are used to power up Pokémon, which may cost from 1 to 15 pieces of candy, depending on what level certain Pokémon is.

Pokémon evolution

Candies can be also used to evolve Pokémon that are capable of evolving. Evolving a Pokemon can cost 12, 25, 50, 100, or 400 pieces of candy.

Second Charged Attack unlock

Candies can be also used to unlock the second Charged Attack of Pokémon with more than one Charged Attack. Unlock cost can be 25, 50, 75, or 100 pieces of candy.

Purification

Candies are necessary to purify Shadow Pokémon left by Team GO Rocket.

Sources

The type of candy the player receives is specific to the Pokémon. There are several ways to obtain candy for each Pokémon:

capturing Pokémon in wild or in Raid Battle Bonus Challange, depends on stage of Pokémon evolution:
- 1st stage form of Pokémon evolution - 3 candies,
- 2nd stage form of Pokémon evolution - 5 candies,
- final stage form of Pokémon evolution - 10 candies;
- double candy count if the Pokemon was fed with a Pinap Berry;
hatching Pokémon - depend on type of egg;
transfer of Pokémon gives back 1 candy;
evolving a Pokémon gives back 1 candy;
using Rare Candy;
from Buddy Pokémon mechanic;
feeding berries to a Pokémon at a gym (very rarely);
trading Pokémon - 1 to 3 candies - depend on distance.

Types

Each evolutionary line has its own candy type. Each one represents the base form and is identified by its primary and secondary colors.

Candy events

This list does not include bonuses in Mystery Bonus Hour.

In Kanto Celebration, the number of candy received from evolution and feeding in Gyms was also doubled.
