Is it better to level up Pokémon with rare candy?

Pokémon who evolve at a certain Level will do so normally if a Rare Candy was used to reach that Level. Rare Candies provide no Stat Exp; Pokémon who are raised using this item will therefore tend to be weaker than those who are trained in battle.

Is there a downside to using Rare Candies?

Rare Candies prevent you from gaining EV's as you level up, making your pokemon weaker overall. However, they're pretty useful in-game because you gain EV's throughout the game. Besides, three levels would make nearly no difference. So go ahead and use them, you have nothing to lose.

When should I start using Rare Candy?

In general, the above basically means to train your Pokémon very well, and generally only use Rare Candies when you've gotten to such a high level that reaching the last levels is a taxing process. By that time, you should have maxed your bonus stats (unless you caught them at a particularly high level).

Does Rare Candy ruin stats?

no, stats are calculated depending on ivs and evs. Technically speaking, yes. This is because leveling up normally will give you EVs which will (eventually) increase your stats, while Rare Candy doesn't. However, this doesn't mean you shouldn't use Rare Candies.

Does leveling Pokemon with Rare Candy make them weaker?

No. The only difference between experience gained in battle and experience gained through other means (rare candy, daycare, etc) is that battle experience grants EVs. So if your EVs are maxed out, there is no difference anymore.

Are Pokemon weaker with EXP candy?

The rare candies themselves don't harm stats, but pokemon raised solely on candy will not gain any EVs, which will result in lower total stats than pokemon that have been EV trained. So, candies are safe, but remember to get your EVs set up later if you raise one with only candy.

Why do some Pokemon take 400 candies to evolve?

Should I evolve my Magikarp or wait?

You should wait until you get a Karp above 230, or even better, above 250. Don't waste those hard earned 400 candies on something below 100cp. I would even go as far as saying 150cp should be the level you want to evolve at (1600-1800ish Gyarados), but it's up to you if you want to evolve something that's lower.
