(→Generation VIII onward: I happened to be playing Violet as I read this, so I could easily see if Everstones stop Pokémon from evolving in Gen IX. For Gen VIII, I had to play Sword for the first time in over a year!) |

[[ | If a Rare Candy is used on a level 100 Pokémon that [[Methods of evolution#Leveling up|evolves by leveling up]] and currently meets its evolution requirements, it will evolve (without gaining a level).

In this generation, the Rare Candy is not consumed if it is used to trigger the evolution of a level 100 Pokémon. | |||

* In [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, if a Pokémon is level 101 or higher (which is only possible by exploiting [[glitch]]es), it can be leveled up using Rare Candies until level 255; using a Rare Candy on a level 255 Pokémon causes it to wrap around to level 0. (Rare Candies cannot be used on level 0 Pokémon.) | * In [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, if a Pokémon is level 101 or higher (which is only possible by exploiting [[glitch]]es), it can be leveled up using Rare Candies until level 255; using a Rare Candy on a level 255 Pokémon causes it to wrap around to level 0.

* In [[Generation VIII]], [[Exp. Candy]] was introduced as well, which gives fixed amounts of experience to Pokémon. Rare Candies are often less efficient than Exp. Candy because they only give enough experience to reach the next level, though Rare Candies can be the most efficient candy if a Pokémon requires more than 30,000 experience points at its current level to level up (this can only occur for Pokémon in the Medium Slow, Slow, or Fluctuating [[Experience#Relation to level|experience groups]]). | |||
