(→In Pokémon GO: Filling this out as best I can from my own personal experience and information gleaned from the Pokemon Go subreddit. ||| I can't say for sure, but I don't remember seeing "Candies" plural in-game, so I've tried to avoid that word.) |

In [[Pokémon GO]], the player can obtain Candy for evolutionary families. It can be used to [[evolution|evolve]] or power up Pokémon. | |||
Kinds of Candy are named after the lowest stage of each [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolutionary family]], and may only be used to evolve or strengthen members of that family. For example, Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, and Venusaur are all powered up by Bulbasaur Candy, and may not use any other kind of Candy. {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmonchan}} have separate Candy, as do the {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}} evolutionary families. Each different kind of Candy has its own color scheme, based on the Pokémon it is named after. | |||
There are several ways to earn Candy: | |||
* Catching a Pokémon gives the player 3 of that Pokémon's Candy. | |||
* Hatching a Pokémon from an {{pkmn|Egg}} gives the player some of that Pokémon's Candy. | |||
* The player can permanently transfer a Pokémon to [[Professor Willow]] in exchange for 1 piece of its Candy. | |||
