Enjoy with your partner
Niantic has released an update for Pokémon Go that gives more importance to your Buddy Pokémon. This is the Pokémon you usually keep by your side so that, as you walk around in real life, you can collect candies to evolve it or make it stronger. This is how you can catch some of the rarest Pokémon in the game.
They will soon be more important because Niantic will update the game in 2020 to add the new Adventures with your partner feature. They say it is an experience that will strengthen the bond between Coaches and their teammates. We will be able to know the mood of your companion Pokémon while we will increase its companion level by feeding it, playing, fighting and exploring with it. In addition, changing the partner Pokémon no longer resets progress to obtain Candy
The Berry that bloomed in friendship
We will start the adventures with our partner feeding him Berries. This will increase your Companion level to Good Companion and allow you to see him on the map. To feed our buddy, just go to the buddy profile page, tap the Play button and interact with him. You can also feed it quickly on the same profile page.
Each Pokémon has different peculiarities and ways of expressing itself. We will have to pay attention and observe the different movements and expressions while you play and explore the world around you.
In addition to feeding our partner, we can play with him in RA + mode. Each Pokémon reacts differently. Make sure you have the RA + option activated in the settings.
Exciting new perks with Buddy Adventures
As we gain confidence with our partner in Pokémon Go, we will unlock new advantages. The buddy levels are Good Buddy, Super Buddy, Ultra Buddy, and Best Buddy.
- Good partner: Our will be able to join you in the map view. You will also be able to see their mood on the buddy profile page.
- Supermate: Our partner will be able to help you in your encounters with Pokémon. You can also bring objects.
- Ultramate: Our companion will help you explore the world around us by informing you of interesting places nearby. It will also bring souvenirs that we can check on the partner profile page.
- Best mate: Upon reaching this level, our partner will wear a best partner ribbon to show everyone how well we get along. The Pokémon with which we achieve the level of Best Companion can obtain a CP boost in battles, as long as they are still assigned as a companion Pokémon.
How to strengthen your friendship with your partner
Strengthen your friendship with your partner by gaining affection. Affection is measured by hearts and you can obtain them by exploring with your partner on the map, fighting together, feeding him, stroking him and taking snapshots of him. The more affection you earn, the better their mood will be. When we reach the maximum state of mind (euphoric), we will unlock the following advantages:
- The distance your partner needs to find Candy will be cut in half.
- The number of hearts won per share will double.
- Trainers can earn bonus hearts.
In the improved partner profile page, we will see the progress of our partner to find Candy, the current mood, a chart of daily activities that we can do to gain affection and his partner level. You will also be able to see the history of other Pokémon that have been your companions.
In the new Shared AR experience mode, you can sync with two other Trainers using AR + to take a group photo with your teammates. It will be the perfect opportunity to create your own epic Pokémon events and immortalize new memories with Pokémon and your friends.
