Pokemon go buddy system rewards


After the September update, Pokemon go's officially released a new feature the buddy Pokemon.

This feature is inspired by Pikachu a Pokemon who always walks with Ash Ketchum.

After a sudden downfall Pokemon is not in a mood to sit back. This is a cool feature and it may tremendously increase the no of Pokemon go players around.

The game is cool but the trainers may be tired of walking or may be their mom never gives the iPhone to her son.


So, today I am going to talk about this buddy feature and tell you some cool tricks about it.


Hi there,

Tusar here and I welcome you to a brand new post about Pokemon go.

Let's get started.

At the time I am writing this Niantic had already released the update.

This buddy feature is pretty cool and 
it helps trainers to get more candies easily.

What does this do?


Well, simple it lets you make a buddy Pokemon like Pikachu which will always accompany you. Just like Ash and Pikachu.


The more you travel with your buddy Pokemon the better will be the bond between both of you.

Every time you move 3 km with a normal buddy Pokemon, then the buddy Pokemon gets a rare candy.


The distance varies with different Pokemon that I will show you later in this post.

This helps to 
power up the Pokemon and to evolve him.

To add a buddy Pokemon refer to this post.

After you add the buddy Pokemon then it's time to move as much as you can.

The more you will move the more the rare candies the Pokemon will get.


The buddy Pokemon will also appear along with you on the map.He will walk along with you and also follow you.



Advantages of buddy Pokemon :

There are some advantages of keeping a buddy Pokemon.
See, whenever you walk some distance you get some candies so it's cool to get something in return.

It looks really cool you with your buddy Pokemon on the map traveling together on an epic Pokemon journey.


My suggestion is to keep different buddy Pokemon at a time. E.G: you keep a Charmander today next day keep a Poliwhirl or a Moltres.

Always keep those Pokemon as your buddy who is very rare like Mewtwo or Articuno.

How do you get rewarded for keeping a buddy Pokemon?
