How to add a buddy Pokémon to get more candy in Pokémon GoIt's no fun to go alone.
Amidst the many iOS 10 app updates, Niantic snuck out its latest: It introduces Buddy Pokémon to Pokémon Go, letting you choose one of your pocket monsters as a companion while you walk the world.
How can you get a buddy Pokémon of your very own? Read on.
Why would you walk with a buddy?
I mean, let's get one thing straight: You don't have to pick a buddy Pokémon. You can continue letting your character live a sad, solitary pixelated existence on a never-ending walking journey across the world.
But it's the heart of the original Pokémon series: You pick a starter to be your friend and travel the world with you, because it's no fun to go alone.
And, as a bonus, in Pokémon Go that buddy will also earn you some excellent Candy bonuses as you walk with it. (Depending on the Pokémon, you'll have to walk in 1km, 3km, or 5km increments for candy bonuses.)
