How to Play with Your Pokemon GO Buddy

Last updated
Ever wondered how you can play with your Pokemon GO buddy? Well, you’re in the right place to find out!
Let’s dive into how you can interact and have fun with your chosen Pokemon buddy in the game.
Getting Started with Your Pokemon GO Buddy
First things first, select a Pokemon to be your buddy. You can do this by tapping on your Trainer profile, then on the Buddy option, and choosing your Pokemon pal from your collection.
Once you’ve picked your buddy, they’ll appear alongside your avatar on the map. This is your first step in embarking on your adventure together!
Interacting with Your Buddy
To play with your buddy, tap on their icon next to your avatar’s image. This will bring up the buddy screen where you can have fun with them. You can pet your buddy by simply tapping and swiping on them. Watch as they react to your touch with happiness!
Another cool feature is feeding your buddy. You can give them treats, which not only makes them happy but also can help them to become “Excited”. An excited buddy can earn Affection hearts twice as fast for the day, bringing you both closer together!
Why Playing with Your Buddy Matters
Playing with your Pokemon buddy isn’t just for fun; it also has benefits. As your buddy’s affection for you grows, they can find presents for you, help catch Pokemon, and even assist in battles. Plus, the higher your buddy’s level, the better the perks, such as earning Candy faster or their ability to bring items to you.
Remember to check in and play with your buddy daily to maximize these benefits and strengthen your bond.
