What is Best to Use Rare Candy On?
Rare Candy, the most coveted item in Pokémon GO. When you get your hands on this rare resource, you want to use it to get the most bang for your buck. But what’s the best use of this highly sought-after item? We’re about to dive into that exact question.
Legendary Pokémon: A No-Brainer
If there’s one thing that’s undisputable, it’s that Legendary Pokémon should be the top priority for using Rare Candies. These mythical creatures cannot be caught in the wild, so a Rare Candy is the most direct way to level them up to 40 and beyond. Legendary Pokémon require no EV training or multiple battles to level up, making Rare Candy the most efficient way to grow these powerful ‘mons.
Here are the best Legendary Pokémon to level up using Rare Candies:
• Mewtwo
• Articuno
• Zapdos
• Moltres
• Lugia
These birds and dragon-based legendaries are a testament to what makes Rare Candies truly exceptional.
EV Trainers
Next up are those die-hard EV trainers. We won’t name names, but those that indulge in extensive EV training are most likely to benefit from Rare Candy usage. Why? Well, as discussed earlier, Rare Candies guarantee the max EV stats when levelling up, without wasting multiple battles or hours EVing.
These trainers might still employ some creative methods, using tricks and exploits to bypass CP capping. But we advise the responsible use of Rare Candy as intended, ensuring your valuable rewards.
Rare Evolvers and Evolutionary Paths
Have some specific evolvers on your plate (literally, since evolution needs CP)? Here lies where Rare Candy can work some pure magic. For example:
- Gengar line: Rare Candy and Candied Sitrus boost make quick work of levelling that line.
- Blissful Charmander, Gardevoir’s Path: Another instance where Rare Candies + Candied Bliss, paired with specific strategies.
Table: Some Top Level-40 EV Requirements & How Rare Candies Facilitate
| Pokemon | CP Requirement | No of Rare Candies |
|---|---|---|
| Alakazam | 40 (Max Stats) | 11 |
| Dialga | 40 (Max Stats) | 8 |
| Mewtwon | 40 (Max Stats) | 8 |
| Zygarde | 40 (Max Stats) | 9 |
| Jirachi | 40 (Max Stats) | 7 |
While many consider Rare Candy invaluable due to its direct application with rare species, we highlight exceptional potential uses in levelling multiple powerful Pokémon.
Inefficient Routes & Alternative Candies (The Dark Horse?)
- Stardust-driven Path: If your preferred Evolution path requires heavy grinding via battling, Rare Candies come up short in delivering comparable EV growth. Alternative path explorations, like leveling non-keychain Pokémon, prove crucial; thus, Candies don’t become superfluous and their usage in levelup/evolve should change to more specific options that leverage the available potential EV, e.g. Stardust with Candied for example Mewtwo.
- Masterballs & XL-Conversion Route: Here are unique approaches that demonstrate creativity amidst potential Rare Candy utilization options; however, one aspect where Rare Candies gain leverage is as conversions after mastering XL. Some alternatives do not involve these or provide them, offering this type of optimization. If mastering requires it, then they aren’t necessarily "dark," a possible way in our pursuit.
Rares Should Stay Rare, Please – XP and Rare Evokers as a Conclusion
Experience counts in Pokémon GO and evokers can make leveling quicker using more strategic methods for this experience level. In these special EV, these rare ones or leveling through XP might contribute differently or not to their worth using a Rare Candy on non-better choices or methods other then leveling specific line EV-able to an overall optimal path (by balancing).
Rare Candies maintain the spotlight when strategically targeted to a specific subset or single priority group. This choice matters now for your most optimal investment within the Rare Candy set budget as well, but then more accessible and direct way could prove better overall depending based the set budget on 7 items.
With more consideration about your specific situations’ level (or "motions," that’s your specific) choices and priorities and we trust to guide our fellow researchers the most strategic best when making decisions using and or other resources as always (since they) may and then.
