Candy (Sleep)

Bulbasaur Candy, an example of a candy in Pokémon Sleep

Candy (Japanese: アメ Candy) is a type of currency in Pokémon Sleep used to level up and evolve Pokémon. Each evolutionary family has its own kind of candy, usually named after the lowest stage of each evolutionary family, which can only be used on members of that family. For example, Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, and Venusaur all use Bulbasaur Candy. Each candy has its own color scheme based on the Pokémon it is named after.

Acquisition

In Pokémon Sleep, Pokémon candies can be obtained by the following methods:

Sleep research

This section is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it. Reason: 3-star and 4-star sleep candy yields; second evolution candy yields; yield for rare Pokémon such as Ditto and Sableye

Researching a Pokémon's sleep styles will reward the player with candies of that Pokémon. The candy yield is as follows:

No. of candies	Sleep style required
3 candies	1-star (★) sleep style: Unevolved Pokémon
4 candies	1-star (★) sleep style: First evolutions of baby Pokémon, except for Mr. Mime
5 candies	1-star (★) sleep style: First evolution Pokémon and Mr. Mime Does not count other evolutions of baby Pokémon 2-star (★★) sleep style: Unevolved Pokémon
6 candies	2-star (★★) sleep style: First evolutions of baby Pokémon, except for Mr. Mime
7 candies	2-star (★★) sleep style: First evolution Pokémon and Mr. Mime Does not count other evolutions of baby Pokémon 3-star (★★★) sleep style: Unevolved Pokémon
8 candies	3-star (★★★) sleep style: First evolutions of baby Pokémon 4-star (★★★★) sleep style: Unevolved Pokémon

The following table demonstrates the candy yield by category of Pokémon and sleep style rarity.

Category of Pokémon	Example	Sleep style rarity
		★	★★	★★★	★★★★
Unevolved Pokémon	Eevee	3 candies	5 candies	7 candies	8 candies
First evolutions of baby Pokémon	Sudowoodo	4 candies	6 candies	8 candies
First evolutions of non-baby Pokémon Mr. Mime	Marowak	5 candies	7 candies
Second evolutions of baby Pokémon	Togekiss
Second evolutions of non-baby Pokémon	Magnezone

Research Community

If the player has befriended other users, they will receive 1 candy of the Pokémon that is featured on their friend's sleep research update.

Collecting from helper Pokémon

A helper Pokémon may randomly gather 2 candies of its evolutionary family, indicated by the candy icon above them. A Pokémon will not gather any more candies until the player has collected the candies from it.

Sending Pokémon to the Professor

The player may send a Pokémon from their box to Professor Neroli in exchange for 5 candies of that Pokémon. Note that this mechanic is equivalent to releasing a Pokémon in the core series games, and cannot be undone.

Uses

Candies in Pokémon Sleep are used to give EXP to and evolve Pokémon.

Earning EXP

Using candies on Pokémon is one of the two ways to have them gain EXP; the other way is to do sleep research with the Pokémon as the player's helper. Each candy used on a Pokémon yields 25 EXP.

Evolution

Each Pokémon requires a specific amount of candies to evolve into their next stage, as follows:

• 20 candies: Baby Pokémon* (except for Riolu, which requires 80 candies)
• 40 candies: Unevolved Pokémon (not counting baby Pokémon, and not counting Pokémon that evolve using evolutionary items)
• 80 candies: First evolution Pokémon, Pokémon that evolve using evolutionary items, and Riolu
