Your thoughts on using Rare Candies.

[Plumpyfoof]

I use them at later levels to power my Pokes up to level 100 easily.
I don't know what everyone means by weirding up the stats or whatever, all they are programmed to do is give your Pokemon experience until it reaches he next level. They don't influence stats at all.
Maybe some are confused but in-game you can use rare candies to get to level 100 after level 30 or so because chances are (if you've had them since less than level 10) you've maxed your EVs.
The only way it stuff up your stats (Pre Gen V) is if you haven't maxed your EVs.

Well using rare candies isn't that bad.
They are a little rare , and using them is actually a reward for finding them.
People that use the missingno. hack however I find completely wrong.

I don't really like using rare candies because I prefer to train my Pokémon myself while it's easy to do, and I consider pretty much any effort easy. ^^

I use them most when IV testing newly bred Pokemon (then I soft-reset). I don't typically use them to level up unless I'm in the final stretch (level 80+) and I want to quickly gain levels, and I don't use them at all during the main game.

I tend to hoard them more than use them.

I like collecting a bunch and thne using them all at once.

I save Rare Candy to use right before the Pokemon League. Because by that time, I don't feel like grinding plus I'm ready to beat the game, lol. I don't see a problem in using them as long as you're not just using ONLY them to raise your Pokemon.

I usually use them on a Pokémon in my box. I'm not going to keep a Rare Candy in my bag forever, it's one of the items that I just have to put to use.
