Players diving into Pokemon Legends: Z-A might find that building a strong team takes a lot of time and effort, particularly when facing tougher challenges later in the game. That’s where Rare Candy comes in handy. It instantly levels up a Pokémon, offering a helpful boost in a game focused on discovery and advancement.
Rare Candies are hard to come by in Pokemon Legends: Z-A. These valuable items are only earned by completing certain side quests, thoroughly exploring the region, and finding special encounters. This guide will show you exactly where and when to find them, and the best ways to collect as many as possible. Whether you want to power up your favorite Pokemon or build a strong team for after you finish the main story, knowing where to find Rare Candies is essential.
How to Get Rare Candy in Pokemon Legends: Z-A
Rare Candies are still incredibly helpful in Pokémon Legends: Z-A for quickly leveling up Pokémon, saving players a lot of time spent battling in the Wild Zones. You can mainly get them by completing certain side quests or finding them hidden around Lumiose City. Though not as plentiful as regular experience items, using just one Rare Candy at the right time can be a game-changer when facing difficult challenges.
Several side missions reward Rare Candies upon completion, including the following:
Side Mission | How to Unlock | Location |
---|---|---|
The Many Flowers of Flabebe | Complete Main Mission 6 | Bleu District |
Troublesome Patrons | Main Mission 10 | Magenta District |
Floette Frolicking with Flowers | Must have completed “The Many Flowers of Flabebe” side quest Defeat Canari in Main Mission 19 | Bleu District |
Jumbo Variety Pumpkaboo | Start Main Mission 35 | Jaune District |
Show the Power of Aurorus | Start Main MIssion 38 | Bleu District |
Taking on these side quests lets you learn more about the Kalos region and consistently earn Rare Candies.
Throughout Lumiose City, you can find Rare Candies hidden as sparkling items or inside Poke Balls on rooftops and in alleyways, so keep an eye out while you explore. The city also has blocked pathways that you can clear by using Pokemon moves to break down rocks, purple goo, and other crystal formations.
Poke Ball pickups are one-time spawns, so use the rewards wisely.
You can also help your Pokémon get stronger quickly by using EXP Candies. These candies come in different sizes – XS, S, M, L, and XL – and give your Pokémon experience points. You can find them all over Lumiose City, either as sparkling items or as prizes for winning battles. When you’re first starting out, the S and M sized candies are especially helpful, and you can often earn them by defeating Alpha Pokémon.

Canari’s Plushes are collectible dolls in the game that give players helpful stat boosts. You can improve these boosts by using Colorful Screws. The Red Canari Plush, for example, increases how much experience players earn at certain levels.
- Level One (3 Colorful Screws): +5% Exp earned
- Level Two (5 Colorful Screws): +10% Exp earned
- Level Three (8 Colorful Screws): +15% Exp earned
You’ll get the Red Plush Doll as you progress through the main story missions. To make the most of limited Rare Candies, carefully manage your resources and explore strategically, building a well-rounded and powerful team to tackle the challenges of the Kalos region.
