When to Use a Rare Candy

▶

You should use a Rare Candy when you want to quickly level up a Pokémon without having to spend time battling, especially if you’re looking to evolve a Pokémon or prepare it for battle, as Rare Candies provide experience points equal to the amount needed to level up your Pokémon. The best time to use a Rare Candy is after you’ve maxed out your EVs (Effort Values), as using it before may limit your EV training potential, but it’s essential to note that Rare Candies themselves don’t harm stats, and any missed EVs can be made up later through vitamins or battling.
