What Rare Candy does in PokeBonk
You gain 2 levels instantly and +5% damage. Each extra copy adds the same bonus again, up to 10. Since version 0.5.3 bonuses of the same kind add together instead of multiplying, so 10 copies give +50% total damage.
Items work on every move you carry, whatever its shape, unless the effect names a shape or a type. The pause screen shows each move's damage per second, so you can check what Rare Candy adds mid-run.
How to get Rare Candy
Chests are Poke Balls you buy with PokeDollars during a run; each one costs more than the last. A paid Poke Ball lets you pick one of three items, Great Balls from challenge altars and guardians are free, and Meowth's shop sells four offers at a time. Legendary items are rare early in a run: their odds rise with your player level, your luck and the zone you are in, so luck and later zones help.
Rare Candy is open from the start. If it keeps crowding out items you want, the Lab's Archive upgrade removes up to three items per level from chests and the shop.
