The '''Rage Candy Bar''' (Japanese: '''いかりまんじゅう''' ''Rage {{wp|Manjū}}'') is an [[item]] originally exclusive to the [[Generation II]] games and reimplemented in every game since {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. It has also been mentioned in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} as well as in {{game|Platinum}}.

While it is obtained as a [[Key Item]] in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Rage Candy Bar is still required to be bought for {{PDollar}}300. Due to this, it is thus far the only Key Item available for purchase.
The '''Rage Candy Bar''' (Japanese: '''いかりまんじゅう''' ''Rage {{wp|Manjū}}''), formatted as '''RageCandyBar''' as an item prior to [[Generation VI]], is a type of {{DL|Item|medicine}} introduced in the [[Generation II]] games. It is present in the Generation II games and every core series game since {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. It is a local specialty of [[Mahogany Town]].

===Generation II===
===Price===
The Rage Candy Bar first appeared in [[Generation II]]. It is a local specialty of [[Mahogany Town]], in the same vein as the [[Lavaridge Town]]'s {{DL|Status condition healing item|Lava Cookie}} is in later [[generation]]s. The first place in which the [[item]] can be bought is from a salesman blocking the way out of Mahogany Town (who is there to prevent the {{player}} from skipping the [[Lake of Rage]] and [[Team Rocket HQ|Rocket Hideout]] events of the plot); he sells these for {{PDollar}}300. Once the [[Red Gyarados]] has been captured or defeated, he stops selling the item. The Rage Candy Bar remains unavailable until the {{tc|Executive|Rocket Executives}} have been defeated at the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]]. After this, it can be purchased from the [[Mahogany Town]] {{DL|Mahogany Town|Souvenir Shop}} for the same price.

In these games, the Rage Candy Bar acts like a {{DL|Potion|Potion}} by healing 20 {{stat|HP}}.

|}
Though the [[item]] does not exist in the internal data of the [[Generation III]] and [[Sinnoh]]-based [[Generation IV]] games, it is mentioned repeatedly. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, it is mentioned by a [[Non-player character|NPC]] in {{OBP|Two Island|town}} on [[Two Island]], who claims that is the favorite delicacy of [[Bruno]] of the {{DL|Elite Four|Kanto/Johto Elite Four|Kanto Elite Four}}, who left the island disappointed when he discovered that the shop was sold out of them. No mention is made in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} but in {{game|Platinum}} it is claimed to be sold out in the [[Veilstone Department Store]]'s basement. It is also said to be favored by [[Professor Rowan]], who can be found occasionally in the basement of the Veilstone Department Store sulking about the fact that the mall has run out of them.
|}
 
In the [[Generation V]] games, the RageCandyBar can be sold to the {{DL|Item maniac|gourmet maniac}} on {{rt|5|Unova}} for {{PDollar}}6000.
====HeartGold and SoulSilver====
The Rage Candy Bar reappears as an [[item]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. It is available in [[Mahogany Town]] only, like in [[Generation II]], but this time around it is a [[Key Item]]. This prevents the {{player}} from [[Trade|trading]] it to {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, where data for the item does not exist. The Rage Candy Bar is not a healing item in these games; instead, it is a Key Item that may be exchanged with a [[Non-player character|NPC]] in the [[Underground Path (Kanto Routes 5-6)|Underground Path]] on {{rt|5|Kanto|Routes 5}} and {{rt|6|Kanto|6}} for {{TM|64|Explosion}}.
 
Unlike in the original {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} (and {{game|Crystal}}), the man blocking the way east of Mahogany Town will still sell the Rage Candy Bar for {{PDollar}}300 after the [[Team Rocket]] invasion is foiled instead of the {{DL|Mahogany Town|Souvenir Shop}} lady. Despite this, he will refuse to sell more than one.
 
===Generation V===
The Rage Candy Bar makes its return as a regular [[item]] in [[Generation V]] and works in the same way as in [[Generation II]], healing a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s {{stat|HP}} by 20.


In {{game|Black and White|s}}, it is first obtainable in the house in the southeast corner of [[Icirrus City]] during the {{DL|Seasons|winter}}, where the wife of the former {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} that stole the {{key|IV|Machine Part}} from the [[Kanto Power Plant]] gives it as a gift saying that Rage Candy Bars hold the family together. Another one can be obtained from {{prof|Juniper}} in [[Desert Resort]] after defeating [[Team Plasma]] and [[Ghetsis]] at [[N's Castle]].
===Effect===
The Rage Candy Bar can be used on one of the five {{p|Darmanitan}} "statues" outside the [[Relic Castle]]. Consumed on use, each Darmanitan will be at [[level]] 35 with the [[Ability]] {{a|Zen Mode}}.
====Generation II====
When used from the [[Bag]] on a Pokémon, it heals the Pokémon by 20 {{stat|HP}}.


In {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, the {{player}} can get four Rage Candy Bars at [[Pokéstar Studios]] after recording a movie with a good ending, each from a {{tc|Smasher}}, {{tc|Ace Trainer}}, {{tc|Madame|Socialite}}, and a young boy in red. Others can be purchased at [[Join Avenue]] {{DL|Join Avenue|Market}}s.
====Generation IV====
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, it is a [[Key Item]]. It may be exchanged for {{TM|64|Explosion}} with an [[Non-player character|NPC]] on the {{OBP|Underground Path|Kanto Routes 5-6}} between [[Route]]s {{rtn|5|Kanto}} and {{rtn|6|Kanto}}.


In all Generation V games, Rage Candy Bars are also obtained by defeating all the {{pkmn|Trainer}}s in the [[Royal Unova]] on {{DL|Days of the week|Saturday}}s and a {{tc|Maid}} on {{rt|5|Unova}} will pay {{PDollar}}6000 for a Rage Candy Bar.
====Generations V and VI====
When used from the [[Bag]] on a Pokémon, it heals the Pokémon by 20 {{stat|HP}}.


===Generation VI===
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, if the {{player}} uses a RageCandyBar on one of the {{p|Darmanitan}} statues in the [[Desert Resort]], the RageCandyBar is consumed and will prompt a battle with the awakened Darmanitan. Each Darmanitan will be at [[level]] 35 and have their {{DL|Ability|Hidden Abilities|Hidden Ability}}.
In {{g|X and Y}}, the Rage Candy Bar reappears in the same vein as in [[Generation V]] and can be found in random hotels.


In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the Rage Candy Bar can sometimes be given by a fan after winning a Master Rank {{g|Contest}}. Two Rage Candy Bars can also be found at the [[Trick House]] during Puzzle 2.
====Generation VII====
When used from the [[Bag]] on a Pokémon, it cures a Pokémon of all {{DL|Status condition healing item|Non-volatile status|non-volatile}} [[status condition]]s ({{status|poison}}, {{status|paralysis}}, {{status|sleep}}, {{status|burn}}, {{status|freeze}}) and {{status|confusion}}.

==Design basis==
==Origin==
The Rage Candy Bar is based on the Japanese {{wp|manjū}}, a type of pounded rice cake. Manjū are sold in Japan as {{wp|confectionery}}, and are often unique to certain places (much as the Rage Candy Bar is to [[Mahogany Town]]). A direct translation would thus prove confusing for English-speaking {{player}}s, providing reasoning behind naming it as a {{wp|Chocolate bar|candy bar}}. Its in-[[Bag]] sprite depicts it in a small box, which could pass for a candy bar wrapper, preventing revelation of the translation issue.

The name ''Cake of Rage'' was also suggested by him for the English localization<ref>[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Woolseyism/VideoGames Woolseyism/Video Games - Television Tropes & Idioms]</ref>, which would match the [[Lake of Rage]].

In the anime

A Rage Candy Bar in the anime

Rage Candy Bars appeared in An Egg Scramble!, where they were one of the items being sold by Khoury at the Johto Festival. Some of them were also seen amongst the food stolen by Team Rocket.

In the manga

A Rage Candy Bar in Pokémon Adventures

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

In Out-Odding Oddish, while on his way to the Pokéathlon Dome, Gold was seen eating some Rage Candy Bars that he had recently purchased. He also threw one into Whitney's mouth, almost causing her to choke. Gold later gave a Rage Candy Bar to Bruno, who immediately fell in love with its delicious taste. In All About Arceus IX, Whitney, who was shown to have a crush on Bruno, was seen sending the Elite Four member a boxful of Rage Candy Bars, much to his pleasure.

In To Make a Musical, Ryoku of the Seven Sages was seen holding a box of Rage Candy Bars in his hand before entering the Relic Castle to catch Volcarona for Ghetsis.

Name

In Generation II, the item's name is rendered Ragecandybar in all caps (like all items) and with no spaces.

In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, where it is only mentioned in dialogue and does not appear as an item, its name is rendered "Rage Candybar". In Pokémon Platinum, where it likewise is only mentioned in dialogue, its name is rendered as "Rage Candy Bar".

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver and in all Generation V games, where it once again appears as an item, its name is rendered as "RageCandyBar", spelled in CamelCase due to the 12-character limit and capitalization of item names.

From Generation VI onward, due to the increased character limit, its name is rendered as "Rage Candy Bar" with spaces.

Origin

The Rage Candy Bar is based on the Japanese manjū, a type of pounded rice cake. Manjū are sold in Japan as confectionery, and are often unique to certain places (much as the Rage Candy Bar is to Mahogany Town). A direct translation would thus prove confusing for English-speaking players, providing reasoning behind naming it as a candy bar. Its in-Bag sprite depicts it in a small box, which could pass for a candy bar wrapper, preventing revelation of the translation issue.

Etymology

According to Nob Ogasawara, under his alias of Douglas Dinsdale (also Doug Dinsdale), in a thread[1] apparently archived from the Something Awful forums and available at the Let's Play Archive, the name Rage Candy Bar is a mistranslation that was decided by his handlers at Nintendo of America. He claims that the correct translation of いかりまんじゅう is "Rage Dumpling" or, given the twelve-character limit at the time, "Rage Bun". During the localization process, Ogasawara had suggested Cake of Rage as a possible English name,[2] which would match the Lake of Rage.

Trivia

  • Though the item does not exist in the internal data of the Generation III and Sinnoh-based Generation IV games, it is mentioned repeatedly in those games:
    • In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, it is mentioned by an NPC in Two Island on Two Island, who claims that is the favorite delicacy of Bruno of the Elite Four, who left the island in disappointment when he discovered that the local shop was sold out of them.
    • In Pokémon Platinum, it is supposed to be sold at Veilstone Department Store's basement, but the vendor selling them always says they're sold out of them. They are also said to be favored by Professor Rowan, who can occasionally be found in the Department Store basement, sulking about the fact that the store has run out of them. An NPC in the basement claims to be the one who has bought all the available Rage Candy Bars.
  • While it is obtained as a Key Item in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Rage Candy Bar is still required to be bought for $300. Due to this, it is thus far the only Key Item available for purchase.
  • RAGECANDYBAR, a Pokémon fansite, takes its name from this item.
