==Acquisition==
In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], Exp. Candy is primarily available as rewards for completing [[Max Raid Battle]]s, with larger Exp. Candy being available from higher-ranked Max Raid Battles—Exp. Candy XL is exclusive to 5★ raids. Exp. Candy is also available from a {{tc|Hiker}} in the [[Wild Area]] for [[Wild Area#100-Watt gifts|100 Watts]]. Exp. Candy is also a possible reward at the [[Battle Café]].

In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], Exp. Candy XS is not obtainable. Exp. Candy S, M, L, and XL can be bought from Bonn in [[Jubilife Village]] after completing [[Request]] 54 "Serving Up Snacks". Exp. Candy are sometimes [[held item]]s by wild Pokémon. [[Alpha Pokémon]] and [[noble Pokémon]] can also drop Exp. Candy when they are defeated.

In [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], Exp. Candy are given out as rewards for completing [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, with larger Exp. Candy being available from higher-ranked Tera Raid Battles.

In [[The Teal Mask]], Exp. Candy can be obtained from the [[Ogre Oustin']] game.

In [[The Indigo Disk]], Exp. Candy M and Exp. Candy L can be purchased using [[Blueberry Point]]s (BP) at the [[Blueberry Academy]] school store for 10BP and 35BP, respectively.

==Analysis==
For example, for a Pokémon in the Medium Fast [[Experience#Relation to level|experience group]] (the most common experience group):
* An Exp. Candy XS would bring a level 1 Pokémon up to level 4, a level 5 Pokémon up to level 6, and a level 99 Pokémon about 0.3% of the way to level 100.
* An Exp. Candy S would bring a level 1 Pokémon up to level 9, a level 15 Pokémon up to level 16, and a level 99 Pokémon about 3% of the way to level 100.
* An Exp. Candy M would bring a level 1 Pokémon up to level 14, a level 31 Pokémon up to level 32, and a level 99 Pokémon about 10% of the way to level 100.
* An Exp. Candy L would bring a level 1 Pokémon up to level 21, a level 57 Pokémon up to level 58, and a level 99 Pokémon about 34% of the way to level 100.
* An Exp. Candy XL would bring a level 1 Pokémon up to level 31, and a level 99 Pokémon up to level 100.

The number of Exp. Candies XL needed to bring a level 1 Pokémon to level 100 depends on the experience group the Pokémon is in:
* Erratic: 20
* Fast: 27
* Medium Fast: 34
* Medium Slow: 36
* Slow: 42
* Fluctuating: 55
