Candies typically fall under four types: standard candies, L (large) candies, XL (extra-large) candies and species candies. Well, the ones related to AVs anyway–there are also various experience-boosting candies.

For the first three type of candies, they’re also split into 6, one for each key stat. Meanwhile, species candy exist for each evolutionary family of Pokémon. For example, there’s Pikachu candy that’s specific to Pikachu and Raichu.
