Description
The Rare Candy Trainer card from the 2013 Plasma Blast set serves as a fundamental resource for players seeking to accelerate their evolution strategies. As card number 85 in the PLB series, this Uncommon rarity card provides a critical mechanic that allows players to place a Stage 2 card from their hand directly onto a Basic Pokémon in play. This function effectively counts as an evolution, bypassing the standard requirement of playing a Stage 1 card first. By utilizing this product card, collectors and players can significantly speed up their turn, enabling powerful Stage 2 Pokémon to attack sooner than usual. Designed by Ryo Ueda, this card is a staple in many deck-building philosophies because of its flexibility. The rules restrict its use during your first turn and prevent it from being played on a Basic Pokémon that was just put into play that turn, ensuring balanced gameplay. Since players may play as many Item cards as they like during their turn, Rare Candy can be combined with other Trainer cards to maximize board presence. This makes it a highly sought-after piece for those looking to complete the Plasma Blast set or enhance their competitive collections. The card's straightforward yet powerful effect ensures its lasting relevance in the Pokémon Trading Card Game community, making it a valuable addition to any serious collection.

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. You may play as many Item cards as you like during your turn (before your attack).
