Is there a difference between leveling up with rare candy?

If you level up your Pokémon by defeating other Trainers/wild Pokémon, then your Pokémon will certainly get some EVs – which will eventually increase your Pokemon’s stats. If you level up your Pokémon using a Rare Candy, it won’t get any EVs.

When should you use rare candies?

Rare Candies automatically boost your Pokemon to the next level. Since, at higher levels, it takes more experience to advance to the next level, using a rare candy on a high level Pokemon maximizes the benefit. I often save and use Rare Candies for specific tasks or objectives.

Do Pokemon still learn moves with rare candy?

When leveled up via Rare Candy (except in Pokémon Stadium), the Pokémon will learn any level-up moves for its new level, and evolve if it evolves by leveling up and meets the requirements. In Pokémon Stadium only, Pokémon do not learn moves or evolve when leveled-up via Rare Candy (but they do in Pokémon Stadium 2).

Does using Rare Candy affect EVs?

2 Answers. Rare Candies don’t give Pokemon any EVs whatsoever, so the Pokemon’s EVs will stay uneffected when you use the item. Therefore if you had a Pokemon with its EVs appropriately maxed out, Rare Candies full-on until Lv. 100 should be safe, unless you use one of the Berries that decrease EVs.

Should I use Rare Candy on magikarp?

Don’t use them all at once; don’t use them on any Legendary Pokemon unless it has an exceptionally low CP. Chances are, it’ll do almost exactly the same amount of damage at level 30 as it will at level 40, and you won’t have to waste a ton of Stardust and Candies.

Is there a downside to using rare candy?

Basically they are extra hidden points that you get by battling. When using Rare Candies, you don’t gain any of those points, so your Pokemon could be weaker. However, if you have trained a Pokemon from a low level up to level 50-60 you will probably already have all possible EVs, so using Rare Candies doesn’t matter.
