One of the ways to speed things along is Rare Candies, a special item you can receive in the game that'll allow you to boost your Pokemon to new heights. Looking for the best ways to find some of these delicious treats? Read on!
Updated on August 26, 2022, by Gabrielle Huston: As a live-service game, Pokemon Go is changing all the time! We've updated this article to keep up with the times and ensure that you can always get more Candies when you need them.
In Pokemon Go, players "power up" their Pokemon by feeding them Candy. Each evolutionary line of Pokemon has its own type of Candy; for example, Pikachu Candies are used to Power Up Pichus, Pikachus, and Raichus, but not any other Pokemon. You (usually) obtain Candy by catching the species of Pokemon, trading excess Pokemon to the Professor, and/or walking with your Pokemon as your buddy.
Rare Candy is like a wildcard — it can turn into Candy for any type of Pokemon. This makes it incredibly valuable since you can't easily obtain Candy for legendary and mythical Pokemon through the first two usual methods. That means you'd need to resort to walking the Pokemon to get Candy, but these rare Pokemon need to be walked 20km (compared to one, three, or five km for other species) before finding a single Candy! As you can imagine, Rare Candy is a much shorter route to take.
