Pokemon GOThe Official Pokemon Channel

'Pokemon Go,' the sensational AR mobile game from Niantic and The Pokemon Company has made its way into iOS and Android devices.

The game allows players to progress if they battle rival Pokemon in the Gym. Candy becomes a key ingredient that helps players in progressing through the game.

Candies are items that allow players to power up and evolve their Pokemon. It is normally found on the Pokemon that players catch or they get it from the Pokemon that hatches from the Eggs.

Pokemon evolution is an important part of the game. Evolution helps players to fight a powerful rival Pokemon. 

Each Pokemon requires a certain amount of candies before it is able to evolve.

If players want to quickly grab a Candy, then they have to catch a Pokemon, which will give them three Candies. If players transfer a Pokemon to Professor Willow, then as a reward, he will give one Candy. Hatching a Pokemon Egg might fetch players somewhere between 5-30 candies.
