While "Pokémon TCG Pocket" has been expanding continuously in its card collection, few cards match the power and impact of Rare Candy.
If you're a complete beginner to the game or just simply haven't pulled this highly sought-after Item card, that's fine. We will explain how this card works and greatly improve the way you play.
Why Rare Candy Is a Must-Have Card?
According to Insider Gaming, in mainline Pokémon games like "Pokémon Legends: Z-A," a Rare Candy instantly boosts a Pokémon's level to make evolution and training much quicker; that simple mechanic has made it one of the most treasured items across multiple generations.
Rare Candy plays an even more strategic role in "Pokémon TCG Pocket." Instead of leveling up Pokémon, it instantly unlocks their final evolutionary form, making any basic Pokémon an instant powerhouse by evolving it in one turn.
What Does Rare Candy Do in 'Pokémon TCG Pocket?'
With Rare Candy, you can directly evolve a Basic Pokémon into its final evolution without going through the middle stages. This gives you a huge tactical advantage in that you do not have to wait for two turns to fully evolve your card.
For example, your Torchic can instantly become Blaziken. This will make way for the Mega Evolution route faster. If you have Mudkip, it can jump right away into Swampert without needing a Marshtomp card. Any Basic Pokémon that have a two-stage evolution can jump immediately.
That is the power of fast-track evolution: to completely change the pace of a match. Your opponent may take several turns building up their board while you can field a fully evolved Pokémon in one move, thus creating early-game pressure or turning a losing match into a come-from-behind situation.
How to Get Rare Candy in 'Pokémon TCG Pocket'
You can get Rare Candy from opening packs, crafting it using Pack Points, or trading with other players; the first two methods are generally the quickest and easiest for most players.
Pulling Rare Candy from Celestial Guardians Packs
You can find Rare Candy in Celestial Guardians Solgaleo and Celestial Guardians Lunala packs.
It all comes down to luck-open enough of these packs, and you will eventually pull the card. Keep grinding through the pack drops, and sooner or later, Rare Candy appears in your inventory.
Creating Rare Candy Using Pack Points
With 70 Pack Points from the Celestial Guardians set, you can craft Rare Candy immediately. This is guaranteed to get the card without any RNG involved in opening packs.
You should take note that only two copies of the same card can be put into a single deck. If you want upgraded versions, you will need to craft additional copies and use Shinedust to upgrade them.
