Rare Candy

Rare Candy A candy packed with energy. Using one instantly raises a Pokemon's level by 1.

Two stronger sodas do the same job in bigger steps:

Item Effect
Rare Candy +1 level
Rare Soda +2 levels
Ultra Rare Soda +4 levels

The tier restriction

Rare Candies and both sodas never work on tiered Pokemon, at any tier. Shadow-tier Pokemon gain no experience at all until purified, and Corrupt and higher level up through battle experience and Exp Candies instead, up to their level cap.

Where to get them
