Each evolutionary family has its 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 [[evolution|evolve]] or [[Power Up]] 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 June 2017, the [[Rare Candy#Pokémon GO|Rare Candy]] was introduced as a wildcard Candy. It's a rainbow-colored Candy that, when used on a Pokémon, turns into the Candy of that evolutionary family.

* Two-stage lines usually require {{candy}}50.

* Regardless of the above, all Pokémon that evolve using a [[Sinnoh Stone]] require {{candy}}100 to evolve.

[[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.

Most 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 their cost reduced to {{candy}}25 whenever a cross-generational third-stage is added, like with {{p|Zubat}} and {{p|Duskull}}. {{p|Snorunt}}'s evolution cost was increased when {{p|Froslass}} became available, due to it requiring a Sinnoh Stone to evolve into Froslass (and all Sinnoh Stone evolutions cost {{candy}}100), the cost to evolve into Glalie was increased to match.

[[Shadow Pokémon (GO)|Purified Pokémon]] require 10% less Candy to evolve, with costs rounded down. A Purified Rattata, which would normally cost {{candy|Rattata}}25 to evolve, would instead only require {{candy|Rattata}}22.

{{main|Power Up#Levels|Power Up → Levels}}

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).

Shadow Pokémon require 3× Candy and Stardust to Power Up at all levels. Once purified, they require 10% less Candy and Stardust to Power Up than normal (with decimals of 0.5 or lower rounded down).

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 with [[starter Pokémon]] and [[baby Pokémon]]. In addition, {{p|Caterpie}}, {{p|Metapod}}, {{p|Weedle}}, {{p|Kakuna}}, {{p|Magikarp}}, {{p|Ditto}}, {{p|Wynaut}}, {{p|Wobbuffet}}, {{p|Smeargle}}, {{p|Wurmple}}, {{p|Silcoon}}, {{P|Cascoon}}, {{p|Taillow}}, {{p|Feebas}}, {{p|Beldum}}, {{p|Kricketot}}, and {{p|Combee}} cannot learn a second Charged Attack.
