do you think it would be smart to clone rare candies 5 at a time and use them to level up all your pokemon?

IMO:

1) EV-train your Pokémon.
2) Clone some Rare Candy's.
3) Level up your Pokémon to the desired level.


If you only use Candies your Pokémon will miss EV-points and therefore be weaker than regular Pokés. EV-training and than Candies is your friend.

Only if I was stuck while training. I don't EV train my pokemon (I haven't quite got the concept of that yet), but because I do battle wild pokemon/trainers I do get some EVs, albit scattered ones =/.

Or to level up.. say Feebas after gettin' it's beauty up. =/

no because ev training and leveling up in battle is better,
though if you were to be stuck with training then you should but not loads only 1 for a pokemon not for all your pokemon and definately not 5 at a time

I am strongly against this but if u ev train the pkmn in the desired stats it will be just as strong as one trained normally. Using rare candies is very dishonourable but in the end it is ur choice. Lol, i have a friend who uses rare candies with ev training and his pkmn are stronger than mine which are also ev trained but have been lvled up normally, that is frustating.

Why is everyone saying, "you'll miss out on EVs!"? Did it ever occur to you that you can EV train before using the Rare Candies, and then use the Rare candies to get to level 100? It's not that hard.
 
I am against using Rare Candies, because it is just the cheap way to level up a pokemon, and the ones who use it are mostly cheaters.

Oh yeah, my friend has infinite Rare Candies, and he had a Magikarp and leveled it up into a lv.100 Gyarados, and my other friend who DOESNT use rare candies battled him with a Lv.96 Charizard and used Fire Blast on Gyarados and took him to yellow stamina. So yeah, rare candies are stupid

Use all of your EV points. Then use rare candies, once you have used your EV's it dosen't matter if you level up or use them

1) Bad idea.
2) How the hell do you copy items!? I thought that was only for RBYGSC!

^ No you just clone the Pokemon with an item attached to it.
I clone Rare Candies, but only for Pokedex purposes. So I had a lv 7 Poochyena and I cloned 11 Rare Candies for it.
