[[Pokémon GO]] includes an item called Candy that is analogous to Rare Candy. It is used to evolve and strengthen Pokémon. Kinds of Candy are named after the lowest stage of each [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolution 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.

In [[Pokémon GO]], the player can obtain Candy for evolutionary families. It can be used to [[evolution|evolve]] or power up Pokémon.


When players catch a Pokémon, they receive three pieces of that Pokémon's Candy. Players may transfer a Pokémon to [[Professor Willow]] in exchange for one piece of its Candy. Candy<!--how many?--> can also be obtained when a player hatches an Egg.

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.
