Rare Candies
Rare candies are consumable items that raise the level of pokemon by one. While rare candies were quite hard to come by in previous games, they are easier to obtain in Pokemon Sword and Shield.
How to Obtain Rare Candies

Max Raid Battles
Rare candies are also possible rewards for winning max raid battles. This requires you to battle wild dynamaxed pokemon with other players to get them. You can also obtain dynamax candies that increase a pokemon’s level when dynamaxed.
Hammerlocke BP Shop
After clearing the game and unlocking the Wyndon Battle Tower, you will be able to purchase rare candies for 20 BP each at the Hammerlocke BP shop. TMs, bottle caps, mints, and held items can also be bought there.
