A Rare Candy will raise a Pokémon's [[level]] by one.  A Pokémon can have any number of these until it reaches level 100, with the exception of [[glitch]] Pokémon like [[Missingno]].  Due to its effect and overall rarity, Rare Candy is often the subject of item duplication cheats.

Unlike a normal level up, a level up by Rare Candy does not factor in EVs when calculating the new stats, resulting in weaker stats for that level.  Therefore, it is usually considered best to use a Rare Candy only after the Pokémon has maxed out its EVs.
