CandyEvie is a popular Pokemon YouTuber who is known for her trivia video and her Pokemon card pack openings. Her channel feels very wholesome thanks to her cute animation style, and her content caters to both Pokemon veterans and newcomers hoping to learn more about the franchise. Her rise to fame was slow yet steady, but over the years she has managed to amass a channel filled with entertaining content for fans.
The Pokemon franchise has given birth to a passionate and lively fan base that is always producing new content. Regardless of which aspect of the Pokemon universe gamers enjoy, there is an active community on YouTube that is dedicated to it. CandyEvie represents but a small aspect of the larger Pokemon community on YouTube, which serves as a great place for fans to express their love for all things Pokemon.
CandyEvie's Rise to Popularity
As CandyEvie has revealed in her videos, she has a lifelong love of Pokemon, which is something she shares with many fans who have grown up with the franchise. Her career online began with her Twitch account where she posted her attempts to catch shiny Pokemon. These monsters are exceptionally rare, and the odds of finding them are low, so shiny hunting takes hours and plenty of dedication. Eventually, she made the transition to YouTube, where she gained widespread recognition.
On YouTube, she started posting content similar to what she posted on Twitch, and while it did gain her a fair amount of views, she was far from the only Pokemon YouTuber posting their shiny hunts. Many shiny Pokemon encounters have been captured on her YouTube channel, but that did not remain its focus forever. She began posting other content, including Pokemon TCG pack openings and Pokemon game playthroughs, which would draw even more viewers and subscribers to her channel.
CandyEvie's first significant spike in popularity came in 2014 when she uploaded her playthrough of Hypno's Lullaby, which is a fan-made ROM hack of Pokemon FireRed and is based on the creepypasta of the same name. Her channel would experience another surge in subscribers when she transitioned to making trivia videos, often in the form of lists on Pokemon-related topics. Uploaded in 2015, her first trivia video was about her favorite shiny Pokemon, with Whimsicott taking the top spot.
CandyEvie Today
Currently, CandyEvie's main YouTube channel has over 735,000 subscribers, and she has uploaded over 300 videos. The content is diverse, but one will be hard-pressed to find the shiny hunts she once sunk hours into. Instead, fans will find Pokemon TCG pack openings, trivia videos, and videos where she gives her opinions on Pokemon games and different aspects of the Pokemon universe. CandyEvie also has a secondary channel called Luvie, where she flexes her animation skills and illustrates random stories from her life. The channel is also fairly popular, with over 260,000 subscribers, though uploads are infrequent.
Today, CandyEvie's main channel remains a great place for both casual and long-time Pokemon fans to engage in some wholesome appreciation.TCG pack openings can be quite exciting, especially when rare Pokemon cards make an appearance. Her trivia videos are also a great way to learn more about the franchise or to just laugh at minor errors that have made it into anime or games.
Fans have been able to see her animation talents steadily improve throughout her career, leading to increasingly higher-quality videos. She has used her animation skills to design her own unique Pokemon, which she shows off on her channel. This was seen, for instance, when she drew shiny and Bug-Type Pokemon for Galar, as well as her own Eeveelution.
The general atmosphere of the channel is very cutesy, and CandyEvie's passion for the franchise is always evident. Some of her card pack openings feature custom packs sent to her by fans, with some even containing cards that fans have designed or drawn. Her biggest fans have even been generous enough to send her their rare holographic foil cards, which she has happily shown off on camera.
For gamers looking to improve their Pokemon battling skills, or to learn which strategies and items are best for the competitive scene, CandyEvie will probably be of little help. Fortunately, there are plenty of other YouTubers that fill this niche quite well. CandyEvie can still be found on Twitch, and she has since also created an Instagram account, though her main platform is still YouTube.
CandyEvie and The Pokemon Company
CandyEvie's popularity has earned her the recognition of The Pokemon Company, which is something that comes with perks that would make any Pokemon fan jealous. In 2018, she received merchandise from The Pokemon Company, and later that year, she was invited to play Let's Go, Pikachu and Eevee before their launch.
The invitation from The Pokemon Company was a huge honor for her, especially because Eevee is one of her favorite Pokemon. Other Pokemon YouTubers that joined along include Ace Trainer Liam, Bird Keeper Toby, and PDWinall. Her review of the games was positive, and she praised the gorgeous visuals. After the games were released, she created lots of content related to them.
CandyEvie's channel still enjoys plenty of views. Fans hoping to find her shiny hunts will be disappointed to discover they rarely appear on her main channel any longer. She has also neglected Pokemon card pack openings in favor of trivia videos. With Pokemon Scarlet and Violet coming up, she has released content related to the highly anticipated games. Scarlet and Violet will introduce many new Pokemon, including some which have already been revealed like Klawf and Fidough, which means there will be plenty more shinies for CandyEvie to hunt.
