Whoops! Just discovered that this is actually false; my Rare Candy count depleted after evolving my Prinplup. Since I'm here, I'll bust another Rare Candy myth that's been presented here, thanks to my willing-to-faint-for-science Slakoth.

When used from the Bag on a Pokémon, it increases that Pokémon's [[level]] by 1, up to level 100. After leveling up, it will have the minimum required [[experience]] for its current level. It can only be used outside of battle.

When leveled up via Rare Candy (except in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}), the Pokémon will learn any level-up moves for its new level, and [[evolution|evolve]] if it [[Methods of evolution#Leveling up|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]]).

If used on a [[fainting|fainted]] Pokémon, it will be revived. When Rare Candy is used to revive and level up a Pokémon, it will have either 2 HP remaining or its remaining HP will equal to the amount its maximum HP increased (except {{p|Shedinja}}, which will always be revived with its maximum 1 HP).

[[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 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]]).
If a Rare Candy is used on a level 100 Pokémon that is able to [[Methods of evolution#Leveling up|evolve when leveling up]] (including those that [[List of Pokémon that evolve at or above a certain level|evolve at a certain level]], or [[friendship evolution|with high friendship]], or knowing a certain move, among other evolution methods) and currently meets its evolution requirements, this Pokémon will evolve without gaining a level; fainted Pokémon will not be revived if evolved this way. The player can [[evolution prevention|cancel this evolution]] by pressing B, but this will waste the Rare Candy.
 
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.


In [[Generation IX]], Rare Candies are only consumed if the Pokémon actually levels up.
If the player attempts to use a Rare Candy on a level 100 Pokémon that is currently holding an [[Everstone]], the evolution is not allowed and the Rare Candy is not consumed.

* 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]]).
