How to Get Tons of Rare Candies on Pokemon Platinum

In "Pokemon Platinum Version," Rare Candy is an item dubiously referred to as a "vitamin," and any Pokemon it is used on is granted an additional experience level. For this reason, the item is highly sought after, as it can make high-end leveling for Pokemon much quicker. Getting a large amount of Rare Candy is no simple feat and only a few methods exist to amass any at all, let alone a large quantity.

Instructions

Battle Frontier
- 1
  Head to the Battle Zone and enter the Battle Frontier areas.
- 2
  Play through each challenge area and beat all trainers. As you do so, you will amass "BP," a currency exclusive to the Battle Frontier.
- 3
  Head to the Exchange Service Counter in the center of the Battle Frontier once you have completed all challenges at least once.
- 4
  Purchase as much Rare Candy as you can with your BP. Each Rare Candy costs 48 BP, so you may only be able to buy a limited quantity.
- 5
  Repeat as necessary. Battle Frontier challenges can be repeated for more BP, making it an excellent place to get large quantities of Rare Candy.
Pokemon Mansion
- 6
  Travel to Route 212 and head into the Pokemon Mansion.
- 7
  Accept and complete the "Five-Maid Knockout Exact-Turn Attack Challenge." This challenge requires you to defeat five maids in Pokemon battles in a specific number of turns and may require some practice to perfect.
- 8
  Accept the challenge of Lady Celeste or Rich Boy Liam at the end of the "Five-Maid Knockout Exact-Turn Attack Challenge."
- 9
  Use "Trick" to steal a Rare Candy from either Celeste or Liam's Blissey. Your lead Pokemon will need to know this move and will need to be extremely fast; otherwise, Blissey will use the Rare Candy as a weapon, employing the "Fling" move and rendering it impossible to steal.
- 10
  Repeat as necessary. This challenge can only be completed once per day, but it is available every day for another virtually limitless source of Rare Candy.
Pickup Ability
- 11
  Create a party of six Pokemon who know the ability "Pickup." Make sure none of these Pokemon are holding items.
- 12
  Engage in as many battles as possible. For optimum results, handle the battles at Pokemon Mansion and the Battle Frontier.
- 13
  Check your Pokemon's status after each battle and remove any items that accumulate. Pickup grants a chance to pick up an item after battle but only if the Pokemon isn't holding anything.
