How do you use less candy and something else make my Pokemon become strong than others?

Answer 1

If you mean prevent using Rare Candy, I recommend using stat boosting vitamins like Zinc, Calcium, Iron, etc. to raise a Pokemon's stat or defeating a specific species of Pokemon. The stat is raised by what is known as EVs (Or Effort Values) which are the points for increasing the a permanent stat. 4 EVs are needed for 1 permanent stat and a vitamin offers 10 EVs, or 2 permanent stat points. (Iron raises your Pokemon's Defense by 2 and a half) In this case, Rare Candy wasn't even boosting your Pokemon's stats by EVs, just the level and the normal stats. Here's an example to help you remember:

There is a Charizard on both sides; both players have Charizard to face each other. (Let's pretend they have perfect IVs (Individual Values) as well.) The Charizard on player one's side haven't EV trained and mostly used Rare Candies and battled random Pokemon, but player two's Charizard has been properly EV trained with a reduced amount of Rare Candies. He trained his Charizard in the Special Attack stat and the Speed stat to the max possible and 4 EVs in Attack. Because of this, player one's Charizard has a disadvantage and end up being slower than the other Charizard. With just a Dragon Pulse, it can seriously hurt the first Charizard when normally it wouldn't.
