CARDEX BACKGROUND

The story behind this Trainer card

Rare Candy lets a Basic Pokémon already in play go directly to its Stage 2 if the corresponding Evolution card is in your hand. Stage 1 is skipped, but the shortcut is not unrestricted. It cannot be used during your first turn or on a Basic Pokémon that entered play that same turn. The player therefore prepares a rapid evolution by retaining both the Pokémon and the correct Stage 2 card.

Background on this Trainer card’s printed effect; its edition, language and finish remain distinct.

A detail worth noticing

The effect does not search the deck for an Evolution: the Stage 2 card must already be in your hand. Nor does it let a Basic Pokémon just put into play immediately skip the intermediate stage. Both limits are part of the printed text.

Printed card text — English

Quoted source text is retained in the card’s printed language so this exact printing can be identified. The CarDex background above is translated into English.

Printed card effect

Choose 1 of your Basic Pokémon in play. If you have a Stage 2 card in your hand that evolves from that Pokémon, put that card onto the Basic Pokémon to evolve it, skipping the Stage 1. You can't use this card during your first turn or on a Basic Pokémon that was put into play this turn.
