-Rare Candies can give either more or less experience to a Pokémon than an [[Exp. Candy]] depending on its level and [[Experience#Relation to level|experience group]]. For Pokémon in the Erratic, Fast, and Medium Fast experience groups, an [[Exp. Candy XL]] always gives more experience than a Rare Candy.
+[[Exp. Candy]] is introduced, 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 is in the Medium Slow, Slow, or Fluctuating [[Experience#Relation to level|experience groups]] and requires more than 30,000 experience points at its current level to level up.
 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). This applies to all Pokémon that evolve by leveling up, not just Pokémon that [[List of Pokémon that evolve at or above a certain level|evolve at or above a certain level]]. The evolution can be canceled, but that will waste the Rare Candy.
