A Buddy Pokémon

A Buddy Pokémon (Japanese: 相棒ポケモン Partner Pokémon) is a walking Pokémon in Pokémon GO. They allow the player to earn Candy for the Buddy Pokémon's family by walking with them. Buddy Pokémon were added to Pokémon GO in version 0.37.0 (labeled 1.7.0 on the iOS App Store), which was released on September 13, 2016.

Mechanics

The player earns Candy after walking a certain distance while the same Pokémon is equipped as their Buddy Pokémon. The distance required (1 km, 3 km or 5 km) depends on the Pokémon's evolutionary family. The player can only have one Buddy Pokémon at a time, and changing the Buddy Pokémon causes the distance until the next Candy is obtained to be reset.

Starting in version 0.49.1 (labelled 1.19.1 on the iOS App Store) of Pokémon GO, which was released on September 13, 2016, the total Candy collected by a particular Pokémon as a Buddy Pokémon is displayed on the buddy information screen, and the total distance walked with a Pokémon as a Buddy Pokémon is listed on that Pokémon's information screen.

Originally, the distance corresponded to half of the Pokémon's family's Egg distance (rounded to the nearest whole number), but Egg distances changed while Buddy distances remained the same.

If Eevee is the current Buddy Pokémon and has walked 10 km, and obtained at least two Candies, with the player; it will evolve into Espeon in day mode or Umbreon in night mode. This does not override the ability of Eevee's nickname to cause it to evolve into a particular Eeveelution.

Position

Each species of Pokémon has a defined buddy position. Medium Pokémon stand beside to the player, while large Pokémon stand behind the player. Flying Pokémon fly or float next to the player.

Pokémon with a position of "Shoulder" or "Arms" sit on the player's shoulder or ride in their arms, respectively. Pikachu initially stands beside the player, but moves to their arms if it collects a total of 10 Pikachu Candy.
