[11:44:15 AM] Blah: Can you please tell [RC's name] he's dumb
[11:44:23 AM] Blah: does Candy bypass Archeops or no
[11:46:50 AM] KREEP: I thought it said "This counts as evolving that Pokemon" on Candy
[11:47:12 AM] Blah: It says you cant evolve from the hand
[11:47:14 AM] Blah: candy is from the hand
[11:47:19 AM] Blah: thereby you cant do it
[11:47:30 AM] Blah: there used to be a ruling otherwise but it was changed, just want confirmation from DNA
[11:49:41 AM] DNA: Q. Does Rare Candy override evolution-preventing effects such as Archeops' "Ancient Power" Ability?
A. Ancient Power does not allow you to use a Pokemon's attack or play a Trainer card to evolve your Benched or Active Pokemon, unless the Evolution card you would be putting into play comes from somewhere other than your hand. So Rare Candy cannot be used while Archeops' Ancient Power Ability is in effect. (Noble Victories FAQ; Nov 17, 2011 PUI Rules Team; Nov 21, 2011 PUI Rules Team)
[11:50:33 AM] DNA: Ancient Power prevents any and all evolving from the hand.
[11:51:02 AM] Blah: Thank you, now I can go tell [RC's name] he's dumb
