Rare Candy UL 82

Choose 1 of your Basic Pokémon in play. If you have a Stage 1 or Stage 2 card that evolves from that Pokémon in your hand, put that card on the Basic Pokémon. (This counts as evolving that Pokémon.) (If you choose a Stage 2 Pokémon in your hand, put that Pokémon on the Basic Pokémon instead of on a Stage 1 Pokémon.)
Important Card Rulings & Erratas
- Rare Candy can be used on a Basic Pokémon that was just put into play that turn, including a player’s first turn only in the HGSS block format, every other format should follow the errata.
- The wording of Rare Candy is now as follows, “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 on the Basic Pokémon. (This counts as evolving that Pokémon.) You can’t use this card during your first turn or on a Basic Pokémon that was put into play this turn.” So now it can’t be used on your first turn, and it can’t be used on a Pokémon played this turn.
