Candy can be used to [[evolution|evolve]] or [[Power Up]] Pokémon.  Each evolutionary family has their own kind of candy, usually named after the lowest stage of each [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolutionary family]], which can 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|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}} evolutionary families have separate candy. Each different kind of 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 separate candies, which were later converted into {{p|Tyrogue}} Candy.

There are several ways to earn candy:
There are several ways to earn candy, each method yielding candy for the affected Pokémon:
* Catching a Pokémon gives the player 3, 5, or 10 of that Pokémon's candy depending on whether it has not evolved, has evolved once, or has evolved twice. (Prior to February 16, 2017, all Pokémon gave 3 candies.) Pokémon that evolve from [[Baby Pokémon]] are not considered evolved, except {{p|Togetic}}.
 
** Using a [[Pinap Berry]] doubles the amount of candy the player receives.

* Hatching a Pokémon from an {{pkmn|Egg}} gives the player some of that Pokémon's candy. The number of candy obtained varies between 5 and 32.

* The player can permanently transfer a Pokémon to [[Professor Willow]] in exchange for one piece of its candy.

* When player walks a certain distance (1, 3, 5 or 20km) with [[Buddy Pokémon]], they are rewarded with candy of that Pokémon.

* Feeding a Pokémon in a {{OBP|Gym|GO}} can sometimes give 1 of that Pokémon's candy.

Prior to February 16, 2017, all Pokémon gave {{candy}}3 when captured.
 
Pokémon that can evolve from [[Baby Pokémon]], except {{p|Togetic}} and {{p|Lucario}}, are considered to be unevolved Pokémon so only award {{candy}}3 when caught, and their evolved forms only award {{candy}}5 when caught.


===Evolution===
===Evolution===
Line 31: Line 67:
[[Generation II]] evolutions which require a [[Sun Stone]] or [[evolution-inducing held item]] in the [[core series]] games also require that same item in Pokémon GO (in addition to candy). Pokémon with [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|cross-generational evolutions]] introduced in [[Generation IV]] require a [[Sinnoh Stone]] and {{candy}}100 to evolve. Other evolutionary stones (including the [[Ice Stone]]) are not required in Pokémon GO.

In past updates, two-stage Pokémon that cost {{candy}}50 to evolve have the cost reduced to {{candy}}25 whenever a cross-generational third-stage is added, like with {{p|Zubat}} and {{p|Duskull}}.

===Power Up===
===Power Up===
{{main|Power Up#Costs|Power Up → Costs}}
{{main|Power Up#Levels|Power Up → Levels}}
Powering Up Pokémon costs both {{OBP|Stardust|GO}} and Candy. The cost varies with the Pokémon's Power Up level, which increases by 1 every time it is Powered Up, and newly caught or hatched Pokémon do not necessarily start with a Power Up level of 1.
Powering Up Pokémon costs both {{OBP|Stardust|GO}} and candy. The cost to Power Up increases with the Power Up level. If a Pokémon were to be Powered Up from level 1 all the way to the maximum level 40, it would require {{candy}}304 total (not including those used for any evolutions).
 
===New Attack===
{{main|Move#In Pokémon GO|Move → Pokémon GO}}
The player can spend {{OBP|Stardust|GO}} and candy to teach a Pokémon a second Charged Attack. The cost varies on the Pokémon species and largely corresponds with the distance needed to walk for a [[Buddy Pokémon]] to find a candy, but with some exceptions, such as [[Starter Pokémon]] and [[Baby Pokémon]]. In addition, {{p|Caterpie}}, {{p|Metapod}}, {{p|Weedle}}, {{p|Kakuna}}, {{p|Magikarp}}, {{p|Ditto}}, {{p|Wynaut}}, {{p|Wobbuffet}}, {{p|Wurmple}}, {{p|Silcoon}}, {{P|Cascoon}}, {{p|Taillow}}, {{p|Feebas}}, {{p|Beldum}} and {{p|Kricketot}} cannot learn a second Charged Attack.
