i know about the iron and stuff, but their stats will still be higher if you raise them naturally, because you can give them the iron and other supplements as well. In the end, you get more points when you level them up naturally, and you have around the same amount of supplements that you can give them. My 3rd generation typhlosion stopped being able to take supplements altogether around level 40. it doesnt let you give them supplements afer their stats get so high, and you get more per level without the rare candy trick. I have to admit that levelling them up naturally takes a LOT of time though. I have beaten the elite four on my silver version over 250 times, and red about 150. I have almost 4 times as much time on my game as everyone else i know, yet they all have at least 6 level 100's too. i think ive put in around 300 to 350 hours in on my game, and the only thing i have to show is a very very tough typhlosion, so if you dont want to waste time, the rare candy trick is probably the best way to go.
