Do You Have Rare Candy?

Rare Candy is a COOL card. And very powerful. But it can be confusing. Here's a QnA from Pokebeach about how to use Rare Candy:

Q: Can I use Rare Candy during my first turn???
A: Yes, ALL Trainers or pokemon attacks that evolve a pokemon INSTANTLY.

Q: Can I use Rare Candy to a Mysterious Fossil, Root Fossil, or Claw Fossil???
A: Yes. As stated on the card, " **** Fossil is a trainer card, as well as a basic pokemon.

Q: Can I use Rare Candy to a pokemon I just put down???
A: Yes, it applies the same as evolving it during you first turn.

Q: Can I use Wally's Training to evolve a pokemon I just evolved with Rare Candy???
A: Yes, as Wally's Training does Instant evolving. Just as long as you don't evolve a pokemon with wally's training, then using Rare Candy as Rare Candy can only be used on basic pokemon.

Q: Can I use ' Make A Wish' to evolve a pokemon I just evolved with Rare Candy???
A: Yes, it applies the same as using a Wally's Training on a pokemon that evolved from Rare Candy

Q: Can I use a Rare Candy to evolve a basic pokemon, then using 'shuffle and draw' cards like Professor Oak's Research, Admin. etc. and then evolve it again with Rare candy???
A: No, as said before Rare candy Can't be used on an evolved pokemon.

Hello and welcome to the Pokemon TCG! My family and I have been playing for a few years, and we love the game.

I see that you found Pokegym, which is a great resource. Did you see the Compendium, which is a collection of all of the card rulings that have been made over the years? If you ever have a question about card interactions, like what happens if a Pokemon with a Cessation Crystal is retreated when the opponent has a Skarmory EX, the Compendium is the place to go.

Yuo can find it on Pokegym.net, at http://www.pokegym.net/cpdm/current/rulings_compendium_ex.html
