🎯All rare candy locations in Pokemon Shiny Diamond and Shiny Pearl

Rare Candies have been a staple of the Pokémon franchise. Incredibly Rare Items allow players to 473matically level up a Pokémon by one level. This can be extremely useful for leveling up Pokemon once they are at a high level or to aid in the learning process of evolution/movement.

As players would expect, Rare Candies are back in Pokémon Shining Diamond and Shining Pearl and can be found all over Sinnoh. However, some of their locations have been changed from the original 2007 games. This means players will have to research in order to find each in the Sinnoh remakes.

Below, players can see where all the rare candies available are.
