Pokémon GO players can pick their favorite Pokémon from their collection to become their buddy, opening up unique in-game rewards and experiences. Buddy Pokémon appear alongside your Trainer avatar on your profile screen, adding helpful bonuses such as awarding Candy for walking together. You also have the ability to change your Buddy Pokémon at any time. With the latest Hoenn-themed update to Pokémon GO, players have even more Pokémon to choose from, such as Feebas.
