The much awaited ‘Buddy System’ is now out for “Pokemon Go”, meaning players no longer have to venture out in the wild alone. So the question now is which Pokemon should you yonder with.
Seeing that there are a lot of Pokemon to choose from, selecting the appropriate buddy for “Pokemon Go” may all boil down to a player’s needs. On that note, it could all boil down to the candies meaning picking out the pocket monster which can return it, CNet reported.
Hence, picking up the right buddy on “Pokemon Go” should not be done for other purposes than that. It is not about boasting which critter you have on your PokeDex but all about being practical. From there, I should be clearer why Niantic added the feature.
It may not be Pikachu after all
For those who have played “Pokemon Go”, there will be the maxed out critters that should look good on their side or their shoulder. In fact, Pikachu (for players who have him) could be a good option though it still depends on.
The key is identifying your Pokemon. Some may have maxed out stats hence render no reason for them to be used. Skimming down the list, there are a lot of critters that need candy for “Pokemon Go” players to put them to good use.
Setting up your Buddy on “Pokemon Go”
Assuming you have undergone the proper process of determining who needs to be on your shoulder, the next step is to affix that critter and continue playing “Pokemon Go”. To do that, players just need to tap on trainer avatar located at the bottom left corner of the screen.
Select menu, the Buddy option, and pick the Pokemon of your choice. From there, you are good to go and start your candy-collecting on “Pokemon Go”, Forbes reported.
Getting the candies
Collecting candy on “Pokemon Go” will follow the same routine has hatching eggs. This means that the “Pokemon Go” app needs to be running when you walk, the candies of which will come pouring in depending on the distance traveled.
