Rare Candy illustration found in the trading card game
Rare Candy is an item found in Pokémon games that is rare (as its name suggests). When used on a Pokémon, the Pokémon will gain experience and go to the next level. Rare Candies are usually found in hidden places, and because they are hard to find they are often used in the Missingno. item duplication trick for the Red and Blue versions (when a player encounters Missingno. or 'M, his or her 6th item will be duplicated). They are also often used in the Pokémon/Item Cloning Trick for the Gold and Silver versions ([1] (http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Cloning)). The Master Ball (the rarest item in the Pokémon series) is also often used for these tricks due to its rarity.
