These Pokemon earn one Candy for every 1km you walk either with the game open or Adventure Sync activated in Pokemon Go. As you can see, all Pokemon in the same evolutionary line will need the same walking distance to earn Candy.

Trainers can earn up to 40km worth of Candy per day. This means that 1km Buddy Pokemon can earn 40 Candy per day. So start walking daily and collect as much Candy as you can.

How to get Candy fast

• Walk with your Buddy: You can get Candy by simply walking alongside your Buddy. While some species need to walk longer distances than others, feeding them to get them excited before walking will increase your Candy gains.
• Use Pinap and Silver Pinap Berries when catching Pokemon: These berries will double the Candy you get with each catch so it’s great for rare species.
• Transfer Pokemon with low IVs: Transferring Pokemon to the Professor will give you one Candy.
• Hatch Eggs: Getting Pokemon with this method will give you different amounts of Candy depending on the Eggs you’re hatching. You can get between 5 and 32 Candies with this method.
• Trade Pokemon with Friends: You can get between 1 and 3 Candies with this method.

How to set your Buddy in Pokemon Go

1. Open the Pokemon Go app.
2. Tap your avatar face.
3. On the ‘Me’ tab, press the ‘Buddy’ icon (the one with two smiling faces).
4. Choose a Pokemon to set as Buddy.

These are the steps you need to follow if you’ve never set your Buddy in Pokemon Go.

How to change your Buddy Pokemon

1. Open the Pokemon Go app.
2. Tap your Buddy on the bottom left corner of the main view screen.
3. Scroll all the way down and tap ‘Swap buddies‘.
4. Choose a different Pokemon to join you.

If you already have a Buddy in Pokemon Go, its face will show right next to your avatar on the main screen of the game so you can access the Buddy menu easily.

However, you can also swap Buddies by finding a Pokemon in your Storage and tapping the ‘Swap Buddies’ button at the bottom of its summary page. You can swap buddies a maximum of 20 times a day.

How to play with your Buddy

1. Tap your Buddy on the bottom left corner of the main view screen.
2. Tap the ‘Play!‘ button or your Buddy Pokemon.
3. Rub your Pokemon until a beam of light and a heart appear on screen.

You can play with your Buddy as much as you want, but you can only get one heart per day doing so.
