# Rare Candy #142/168 — Celestial Storm

## Summary

Rare Candy is the evolution shortcut that made Stage 2 decks viable, so tournament players have needed it in nearly every format since the original release. As an uncommon in a Sun & Moon set it was a mid-tier pull, and Ryo Ueda's name on it gives playset buyers a reason to prefer this version. A $0.39 modelled guide, up 5% over 30 days on 5 copies traded, says bulk, with 418 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, and the same card plays for $0.22 out of Mega Evolution.
