How to Best Buddy FAST in Pokemon GO!

[@bigmel26]

Also to note, if a poffin is used or your buddy gets excited "naturally", the walking distance to earning candy/ mega energy is cut in half.

[@pokedaxi]

good point!

[@hoquangminh8030]

Wait you can earn mega energy from walking with your buddy?

[@bigmel26]

@hoquangminh8030 Yes, providing that you've mega evolved it at least once.

[@hunterhuie1550]

@@hoquangminh8030if you’ve mega evolved it once before it will earn mega but it’s an extremely low rate. best to do raids for more candy

[@tr4sh37]

​@@bigmel26 You don't have to walk the Mega Evolved Pokemon specifically. You can Mega Evolve any one and walk any of it's species. For Example I Mega Evolved a Blastoise and Im walking my Squirtle and still get the Mega Energy.

[@damegadane]

probably not the first to mention this but you can get up to a max of 32 hearts with your buddy, granted its not entirely f2p since you need the go plus+. 6 hearts each from walking, feeding, and battling. 2 hearts each from playing, snapshot, visiting a new place, and following a route. Here's where it gets tricky, 2 hearts from both gifts, 2 from the sleep bonus with the go plus+, 1 from spinning a powered up pokestop, and 1 from finding a location stop. Its definitely tedious but I've done it before and oh man it looks good

[@ktoyo7]

I guess that's another bonus of the Go Plus+. Extra hearts! Thanks, I hadn't realized that!

[@2LadyDi]

This post is very helpful as I just posted a 32 hearts thread on X. I can get 31 but the location was brand new as of a couple of days ago. I accidentally stumbled o on it at work and could not get to that new pokéstop. This is a goal of mine, maybe before the year it out.

[@4lerus]

Buddying is the worst addiction, I started a year and a half ago getting 6 hearts a day on 15 buddies and switching in the other 6 during the day to optimally buddy them. I wish I never started but I’m 180/200 on the platinum medal I only have about 40 days to go now and it will finally be all over

Bro you know wtf he means though. Don’t be that guy

[@cedricaguilar4501]

The method I'm using: -Set around 3 or more Master league teams (I'm doing Pokes with different CP levels) with the pokemon you want to best buddy. -Pick one and use either regular berries or golden, snapshot, scratch, training battle 3 times and change to a different buddy of the same team (so it takes less time to select) -Repeat until you want or can. I'm getting 6 hearts for each pokemon so it's 54 hearts a day (I could do more but it also can get boring). By using only regular berries I feel it's efficient enough and with 6 hearts each day it only takes 50 days (or less depending on the number of gifts you get) for best buddy.

[@the_darkborne5440]

Just takes 12 days to get your best buddy. And if want to do the most at 3 hours including the walking. You can do approximately 3 to 5 in that time period.

[@ssj2trunks103]

[@Vraaad]

[@ajevans8814]

I use a rotation system for my best buddies. I select 7 pokemon to best buddy and assign each one a day in the week. On that day, I make sure to excite that pokemon up to 22 hearts. I can typically get that done in the morning by setting a timer for every 10 mins and use the sock method with adventure syn enabled to get walking hearts. Then, I move on to the next day's pokemon, repeating the process to get 22 hearts. With the remaining 19 buddy switches, I will switch to the pokemon for the other days of the week to earn a min of 8 hearts (3 battles, 1 Pet, 1 Photo, and 3 treats). Each time you switch a buddy it can be fed a treat saving time on waiting for it to get peckish. Currently, I am doing the training battle with each buddy pokemon in order to get the trainer plat. badge, but once that is done I can simply go into the battle and give up instantly as it counts as battling and is way more time efficient. So my system looks like this Each day: 2 pokemon get 22 and 5 pokemon get 8. Each buddy earns 82 hearts a week. This always leaves me a few extra swaps a day I can use for background pokemon; usually ones that need buddy requirements to evolve.

[@xDlow_]

My method is to focus on Best Buddying 1 Pokemon and have 6 in the background. This takes about 20-30 minutes every night while I'm watching some KZbin before bed (I've timed it multiple times). Each background buddy gets 8 hearts (9 if they bring me a present) so they will be best buddies in 38 days. What I do is switch to one of my background buddies, berry it, play with it, snapshot it, then do 3 battles with team leader. (You don't need to finish the battle) Then switch and repeat with the other 5 background buddies. Once this is done they should each be at 6 hearts. After this I go back through each of my background buddies 1 by 1 and feed them again to get the 7th heart, then do one last round feeding them berries to get them the 8th heart. Once this is done I switch to my main buddy and go to sleep. Then grind as much as I want on the main buddy during the day using poffin or excitement etc.. If this is too much you can stop after the first round with each of them when they are at 6 hearts and they will become best buddies in 50 days instead of 38. Some tips I have to make it faster. All my buddies I'm working on have a tag that I made a keyboard shortcut for to find them easily. When doing the battles with the team leader I have the teams preset with my buddies so I don't have to add them in every time. This should all take 30 minutes max good luck!

[@a_towel52]

What do you mean background buddy

[@mumbo54jumbo]

Was not expecting a Winston from overwatch “Hi there”. Well played

[@GabLapolicePianiste]

I work with different pokemon at the same time and always get 6 hearts in one shot (Snapshot, 3 Nanab Berry, play, 3 battle with trainer (I exit the battle at the beginning). I use Puffin with more strategy for getting more candy and Mega Energy. When I know I will walk more, I use Puffin and I do a route so I make between 18 and 22 heart with one buddy. My best buddy is like my elit team for Raid or Master League because this pokemon need more candy, more candy XL, more power (so 1 lvl Bonus is Good) and more Mega Energy for the Mega Pokemon.

[@MoonbeamAtKnight]

If you travel 2-3 routes with your buddy you will get to excite a lot faster, battle master league, in a gym, and you can get it to excite in about 35 minutes.

If you're battling a team leader, you can actually exit the battle and it will still give your buddy emotion points. It's much quicker than fully completing the battle.

[@shadowdrakes]

I do the background buddies though slightly different. I have 7 buddies I cycle daily through. I tag them 'cb' and do 3 rounds of buddy after buddy. First round makes sure they get each the play, pic and feeding hearts which are 3 hearts. Then the 2nd and 3rd rounds go through them using more berries to put them at 5 hearts per day. A bit slower but it's a best buddy made in 2 months with 5 per day. If done fast, can take 20-25 minutes in a day.

[@pokedaxi]

Hey whatever works works!

You can gain 3 easy hearts in the “battle together” category by surrendering and rematching a team rocket leader or grunt up to around 3-5 different Pokémon depending on how long they’ve been there for! Do it at your own risk as they can disappear but if you don’t care about that particular line up then it’s an easy 6 hearts each buddy you switch up! ^^V

In my experience, I burn out after a while using these methods. I'd suggest a much slower tactic of picking 3 Pokémon that you will give a berries to or a poffin and get your min 6 or 16 hearts if you've used a poffin. One of those Pokémon, go for a walk, follow a route, find a new stop and you'll probably get a gift once you're a the required friendship level, thus earning more hearts. Then with 12-15 other Pokémon just play with them and take a snapshot. Yes, its only for 2 hearts but it's much faster and you're more likely to keep it up if it's not as time consuming.

I don’t really care about best budy. I'm just interested in exciting him to get mega energy twice faster. So I focus at one at the time until I got plenty mega energy, by that time they would reach best buddy status. Since I focus on getting around 20+ heart per day if they are not yet best buddy yet. However from my experience they get excited in around one hour only. I do the following: feed buddy , screenshot buddy & excite buddy in few minutes then set a 1st 30 min timer. Battle a full gym (6 pokemon), one PVP battle, one training battle then set a training battle with Candela or Spark or Blanche. Set e second timer to 30 min. When the first timer reach 30 min then give one berry, screenshot & excite, reset 1st timer to 30 min. When second timer reach 30 min, battle a full gym, 1 Pvp & one training. Usually when this is finished the first timer has reached 30 min a second time, then I take screenshot, excite give a berry, then give more until fed. At that point the buddy is excited.

As someone with 400 best buddies, I used to use poffins a lot but then I got banned from submitting AR tasks because getting over 20 poffins a day eventually meant i submitted enough garbage AR scans that they employed the ban. So be careful. Do not scan from your car. Do not scan in low visibility conditions and don't shake the camera too much Also I expect even the best scans with a bad camera phone will get you banned. Niantic is extremely picky now.
