Let’s dive right into how you can switch your buddy in Pokemon GO and why you might want to do it.
Switching Your Buddy Pokemon Made Easy
First things first, to change your buddy, open Pokemon GO and tap on your trainer’s profile picture at the bottom left of the screen. Next, tap on your current buddy’s portrait near your trainer’s name. Here, you’ll see the option to ‘Swap Buddies’. Remember, you can only change your buddy up to 20 times a day, so choose wisely!
