In {{g|GO}}, each evolutionary family has its own kind of '''Candy''', usually named after the lowest stage of each [[List of Pokémon by evolution family in Pokémon GO|evolutionary family]], which can only be used on members of that family. For example, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Venusaur}} all require Bulbasaur Candy to [[Power Up]]. The {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}} evolutionary families have separate Candies. Each Candy has its own color scheme based on the Pokémon it is named after. Prior to the addition of [[Generation II]] Pokémon, {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmonchan}} had their own Candies, which were later converted into {{p|Tyrogue}} Candy. | In {{g|GO}}, each evolutionary family has its own kind of '''Candy''', usually named after the lowest stage of each [[List of Pokémon by evolution family in Pokémon GO|evolutionary family]], which can only be used on members of that family.

In December 2020, the [https://pokemongolive.com/post/gobeyond-level40/ level cap was increased from 40 to 50]. '''Candy XL''' was introduced as a requirement for powering up Pokémon beyond level 40. Players can start acquiring Candy XL after they have reached level 40. Candy XL is obtained randomly from normal Candy-yielding activities, such as catching and transferring Pokémon. Catching a Pokémon can yield 0 to 3 Candy XL, with the odds of more Candy XL increasing with the caught Pokémon's [[Power Up]] level. | In December 2020, the [https://pokemongolive.com/post/gobeyond-level40/ level cap was increased from 40 to 50].
