Every Rare Candy location in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

Trainers can find Rare Candy in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl to help level up their partners.

Rare Candy works just like it does in every other main entry Pokemon game. It raises a creature's level by one. This can be useful for increasing stats, evolving a Pokemon, or reaching a level to learn a certain move.

These aren't items that players can buy in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Instead, they'll find them scattered across the Sinnoh region. Some will be in the overworld and others will only be found with the Dowsing Machine.
