Rare Candy

[Venusaur]

Choose 1 of your Basic Pokemon in play. If you have a Stage 1 or Stage 2 card that evolves from that Pokemon in your hand, put that card on the Basic Pokemon. (This counts as evolving that Pokemon.)

Q. Can I use Rare Candy on a Pokémon I just evolved that turn with
Wally’s Training?
A. Yes. Trainer cards that allow an evolution to take place, breaks the
standard evolution rule that states you can only evolve once in a turn.

This doesn't make sense because rare candy can only evolve basic Pokemon. If you evolved a Pokemon with Wally's Training it wouldn't be a basic anymore.

Another question. Could you rare candy a Pokemon and NOT play an evolution on it just to get rid of the Rare candy?

Yeah, they goofed on that one. Here's a revised, corrected answer:

Q. Can I use Rare Candy on a Pokémon I just evolved that turn with Wally's Training?
A. No you cannot, because Rare Candy can only evolve Basic Pokemon. If you evolved a Pokemon with Wally's Training it would not be a Basic any more. (Oct 16, 2003 PUI Rules Team)
