A dedicated Pokémon GO player has accomplished the challenging feat of achieving Best Friend status with every Pokémon in their collection. In Pokémon GO, as in other games in the series, players commonly interact with Pokémon by catching them and assembling teams for battles. However, Niantic offers additional ways for players to bond with their Pokémon while playing.
One such method is the Buddy Pokémon mechanic, which provides an alternative to battles. Players can select a Pokémon from their collection to accompany their avatar on the game map. Walking certain distances with a Buddy Pokémon rewards the player with candy, and if the Pokémon is part of an evolutionary line that includes Mega Evolution or Primal Reversion, the player can also earn Mega/Primal Energy.
