'''Candy''' (Japanese: '''アメ''' ''Candy'') is a type of [[currency]] in {{g|GO}}. Each evolutionary family has its own kind of Candy, usually named after the lowest stage of each [[List of Pokémon by evolution family (GO)|evolutionary family]], which can only be used on 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.
