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, 5 km, or 20 km) depends on the Pokémon's [[List of Pokémon by evolution family (GO)|evolutionary family]]. The player can only have one Buddy Pokémon at a time, and can only swap their Buddy Pokémon up to 20 times per day. Prior to the launch of Buddy Adventure, changing or evolving the Buddy Pokémon resets the distance until the next Candy is obtained. Additionally, a Buddy Pokémon cannot be [[Released Pokémon|transferred]], [[trade]]d, or placed in a {{OBP|Gym|GO}}. | The player earns Candy after walking a certain distance while the same Pokémon is equipped as their Buddy Pokémon.
