====Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!====
In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, there are three types of Candy: stat-based Candy, species-based Candy, and Rare Candy, which appear as a type of item stored in the Candy Jar. Candy can be used to increase a Pokémon's s, except the Rare Candy, which instead boosts a Pokémon's level.
=====Stat-based Candy=====
Stat-based candy can be used by any Pokémon to raise the AV of a specific stat, depending on the kind of Candy. They come in three sizes: regular, L and XL. They are more commonly found than species-specific Candy, as multiple of these Candies are often required to raise a single AV point. As a Pokémon's AV increases for a stat, it will require more and larger Candy to further increase the same stat by one AV. Regular-sized Candy can only raise a stat up to 50 AVs. L-sized Candy can go up to 100 AVs, but require the Pokémon to be at least level 30. XL-sized Candy can reach the maximum 200 AVs, but only work for level 60 and up.

=====Acquisition=====
Candy is most commonly obtained through catching wild Pokémon or transferring Pokémon to Professor Oak. The type of Candy obtained depends on the species caught or transferred. The stat-based Candies that can be rewarded correspond directly with the species' effort values yield in other core series game. For example, if a Pokémon like would yield EVs in Attack in those games, it may award Mighty Candies (of any size) if caught in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!. Pokémon that would yield EVs for multiple stats, like which gives both Defense and Special Attack EVs, may award Tough Candies, Smart Candies, or both.
:See also: List of Pokémon by effort value yield
Catching a wild Pokémon may sometimes award player a random number of Candy. The higher the player's Catch Combo, the more likely that higher quantities and larger Candies will be awarded. A player may start earning regular-sized Candy after catching 30 Pokémon; Candy L can be earned after catching 60 Pokémon, and Candy XL can be earned after catching 90. Players may start earning species-specific candy after catching a total of 120 Pokémon. 
For every Pokémon transferred, Professor Oak will award the one stat-based Candy based on whichever Candy it may yield when caught in the wild. Transferring (releasing) uniquely gives the player with 2 Mew Candy immediately, in addition to the regular 1 Health Candy.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Exz3_3plffA
Species-based Candy can repeatedly be obtained by:
* Catching compatible Pokémon (chance of obtaining increases with Catch Combo)
* Transfer 50 compatible Pokémon of the same species to Professor Oak
* Stroll Pokémon with Poké Ball Plus (up to two Candies per every 5,000 Exp. gained)
** One Candy for strolling Pokémon and one Candy for walking Pokémon in game, if any
Several Voltorb Candy can be found daily as hidden items in the Power Plant
Additionally, depending on the game, players can obtain Pikachu/Eevee Candy once through the following means:
* 5 in (defeat Will)
* 5 in Pokémon Tower (defeat Holly)
* 10 in (defeat Alemana)
Note that as a result of the various acquisition methods, species-specific Candy for Legendary and Mythical Pokémon can only be obtained through one or more of the following methods:
* , , and : Repeatedly catch through wild sky rare encounters, transfer multiple from and send to Professor Oak, or stroll with the Poké Ball Plus
* : Transfer multiple from GO and send to Professor Oak, or stroll with the Poké Ball Plus. With no external devices, the only way to obtain one or more Mewtwo Candy would be to trade over numerous Mewtwo from separate save files before sending all of them to Professor Oak.

* : Stroll with the Poké Ball Plus only
