Candy (Sleep)
Candy (Japanese: アメ Candy) is a type of currency in Pokémon Sleep used to level up and evolve Pokémon. Each evolutionary family has its own kind of candy, usually named after the lowest stage of each evolutionary family, which can only be used on members of that family. For example, Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, and Venusaur all use Bulbasaur Candy. Each candy has its own color scheme based on the Pokémon it is named after.

| Single-stage Pokémon | Ditto | 6 candies | 8 candies | 11 candies | |
| Eeveelutions | Vaporeon | 7 candies | |||
| Second evolution Pokémon | Togekiss | 8 candies | 10 candies | ||
Research Community
If the player has befriended other users, they will receive 1 candy of the Pokémon that is featured on their friend's sleep research update. As of version 1.0.13, the player may have a chance of receiving 2 candies from their friend's sleep research update instead of 1. The chance of receiving an extra candy in this way is determined by the player and the friend's Closeness level.
Collecting from helper Pokémon
A helper Pokémon may randomly gather 2 candies of its evolutionary family, indicated by the candy icon above them. A Pokémon will not gather any more candies until the player has collected the candies from it.
Sending Pokémon to the professor
The player may send a Pokémon from their box to Professor Neroli in exchange for candies of that Pokémon. Note that this mechanic is equivalent to releasing a Pokémon in the core series games, and cannot be undone. The amount of candies received depends on the Pokémon sent:
- Unevolved Pokémon: 5 candies
- First evolution of baby Pokémon: 6 candies
- First evolution of non-baby Pokémon: 7 candies
- Second evolution Pokémon: 10 candies
Using the Linking Cord from the Bag
If the player uses the Linking Cord item from the Bag, they will receive 5 candies of a random Pokémon that evolves using the Linking Cord. As of version 1.0.13, the Pokémon selection includes:
Uses
Candies in Pokémon Sleep are used to give EXP to and evolve Pokémon.
Earning EXP
Using candies on Pokémon is one of the two ways to have them gain EXP; the other way is to do sleep research with the Pokémon as the player's helper. Each candy used on a Pokémon normally yields 25 EXP, but as of version 1.0.9, the number may be higher or lower depending on the Pokémon's Nature.
Evolution
Each Pokémon requires a specific amount of candies to evolve into their next stage, as follows:
- 20 candies: Baby Pokémon (except for Mime Jr. and Riolu, which require 40 and 80 candies, respectively).[note 1]
- 40 candies: Unevolved Pokémon (not counting baby Pokémon but counting Mime Jr., and not counting Pokémon that evolve using evolutionary items).
- 80 candies: First evolution Pokémon, Pokémon that evolve using evolutionary items, and Riolu.

Trivia
- Unused sprites for Mew Candy previously existed in the game's files, although the Pokémon itself is currently not available. This sprite was removed sometime prior to version 1.0.12. A sprite for Dratini candy was also similarly unused until the Pokémon was added to the game in version 1.1.0.
