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.
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.
