When do you use Rare Candies?

    I used to use rare candies as soon as I got them. I now save them for a Pokemon that is close to lvl 100.

    I use them if i'm too lazy to evolve someone or when a pokemon is lv99 i give it 1 rare candy instead of the normal way.

    Mainly before the Elite 4/Champion. I actually remember using a Rare Candy on a lv.77 Magikarp I caught in SS. It was such a pain to level up.

    Ah, I actually like to save them from time to time, honestly I don't really like using them too much. I only occasionally use them if I need to say, evolve a Pokémon quickly if I'm trying to fill up the Pokédex.

    Only if I need to level up weak Pokemon quickly.

    Otherwise I just use Lucky Egg and/or Exp. Share to level up my Pokemon (I did the Lucky Egg/Exp. Share trick in Black, like use my weak Pokemon in a Rotation Battle in Opelucid City but let my stronger Pokemon do all the battling).

    I tend to save my Rare Candies untill I urgently need them in situations say when I reach the E4 and I have a stack of 5 I spread them out equally through my team, never all on one Pokémon, unless im doing a solo run!

    I only ever use them to level up a happy Pokémon, such as to get an Espeon or Umbreon. Otherwise, I find it pointless unless you really need a certain move and don't have anywhere to train, like when you're halfway through the Elite Four.

    When I was younger, rare candies were the top-rage in grade school. Now I just save them in my bad and barely use them because I now know it's not really helping your pokemon (competitive battling wise)
