Rare Candy (Japanese: ふしぎなアメ Mysterious Candy) is a type of consumable item introduced in Generation I.

Effect

Manual activation

A Rare Candy raises the consuming Pokémon's level by one, up until level 100. It adds experience to a Pokémon until it levels up, and then stops, even if it just added a single experience point. Also, it revives the consuming Pokémon if it has fainted (the amount of HP remaining is varied). It is consumed upon use and cannot be used in battle.

In Generations I and II, Pokémon above level 100 could level up using Rare Candies until level 255, after which another Rare Candy would revert it to level 0 where no more could be used.

Held item

The Rare Candy can be held, but has no effect as a held item.

In the anime

Rare Candy in the anime

Rare Candy appeared in Caterpie's Big Dilemma. However, unlike in the games, where Rare Candy levels up a Pokémon, in the episode it actually makes the Pokémon larger (and in some cases uncontrollable) due to the fact that this was a specially modified and experimental version of it. Brock said that the original would merely "enhance a Pokémon's abilities". Also, due to a dubbing error, the Rare Candy was referred by a direct translation of its Japanese name, Mystery Candy.
