About Buddy Pokemon
Buddy System Allows You To Walk With Pokemon
The Pokemon Buddy System allows you to choose a specific Pokemon to share your walks with. It's a way for players to enjoy their Pokemon more, with smaller Pokemon able to hang onto their avatars' shoulders!
Receive Candy After Walking A Certain Distance
When you make a Pokemon your buddy, you can reap rewards by walking with them. Each Pokemon has a set required distance to be walked to give you a piece of Candy.
Buddy Can Find Up To Two Candies
If you're lucky, your Buddy Pokemon will be able to find you two pieces of Candy. Normally, Buddy Pokemon only find one piece after completing the required distance of walking.
Every Pokemon Has Different Distance Required
All Pokemon can become your buddy in the game, however, each Pokemon has a different distance required to receive Candy.
