Rare Candy trained Pokemon are not weaker than normal.

It's just a faster way to train, I see no problem with it.
I was pretty sure they are, given that you can't take advantage of EVs.
Did you EV train? If you did, then you should whup his ass anyway, even if he uses 'chomp. Make sure you do a flat battle (Everything is lowered to 50, so it's fair) And show him the advantages of EV training.
EDIT: Incidentally, they aren't weaker, you can still EV after training things to level 100 with rare candies. Just sayin'.
Yeah..i EV'd some of them. My steelix in sp. def. and my ninetales in sp. atk.. I did those more consiously than others at least.
Ah. Well. hm. Did you breed for specific natures?

Yeah, my ninetales is modest, (i synchronised), my steelix is careful, my feraligatr is adamant, my yanemega is modest and the other 2 (flygon and metagross) have no effect from their nature.

Well, as a pokemon master i find the lack of factual knowledge here distrubing.

Rare candied pokemon are not weaker. So long as you ev train them before dumping them full of rare candies.

Using a cheating device to make unlimited rare candies is much less cheating, more time saving. You could spend hours leveling a guy up the hard way. Or you could ev train him, then rare candy them. Thus being done if 30ish minutes.

There are 3 types of pokemon

Hacked, legal, legit.

hacked is totally wrong. Things like wonder guard spirit tomb or the like.

Legal pokemon are typically created through pokesav or some similar program and AR. They fit the normal stat totals, moves, natures as any pokemon you spent hours on.

Legit pokemon are pokemon that you caught/hatched.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Using an outside device to get infinite items is not truely cheating. The outside device never touches the actual pokes. Using said items only cuts down the tedium on making teams and opens up more options. Especially where TM's are concerned.

edit
Also if you need pokrus or power training items leave me a message/quote and I can see about getting them to you.

also captcha suck
