Rare Candy Mechanics

Understanding Rare Candy

To delve deeper into the mechanics of Rare Candy, it’s essential to understand that it provides no Stat Exp, which means Pokémon raised using this item will tend to be weaker than those trained in battle, as they lack the EVs (Effort Values) gained through battling. However, Stat Exp can be accumulated at any time, even at level 100, when normal EXP stops increasing.
