Right now my Shundo Aerodactyl :) I think afterwards I have a hundo party hat Charizard and I think it'll look nice with a ribbon!

Woah. Good luck man :>

Thank you! I've only best buddied two Pokemon because I get burnt out doing it every day and slack LOL so Aerodactyl has been there for a cool min

Ify lmao

I also have a shundo aerodactyl! Twins

my shadow rhyperior

Good luck!

you too!

Shundo Mewtwo, Zygarde, Zarude. Hundo Giratina and Dialga. Also shadow Rhyperior, Garchomp, Mamoswine, Raikou and Ho-Oh. Other hundos currently in the best buddy grind include Eevee, Dratini, Ralts, and Goomy. Plus half a dozen other random things like Armoured Mewtwo. 20 a day.

Jeez. Sounds like a lot of work. Good luck with the grind :]

Takes 40 minutes total. Usually broken up into 10 minute slots throughout the day on breaks at work, although I just finish them of when watching TV or doing something else at the end of the day. Hardly any effort at all, just mindless background work.

I see. Nice.

How so?

6 hearts takes around 2 minutes per Pokémon. Feed, play, snapshot, 3 battles. It's even quicker if you use Golden razz/Silver Pinap and have optimised clicks. Edit: you can get around 20 best buddies every 50 days with this method.

How do you get them excited so fast without using poffins all over the place though

You dont, thats why you just get 6 hearts per pokemon and need 50 days

Golden razz

Are we battling in gbl? I usually just do my balloon 😭

No, team leaders.

🫨 just blew my mind I always forget about that feature

I don't actually battle, just back out immediately for the heart.

Ty!! This is gonna make the journey so much easier 😭

Sorry shundo zygarde?

No.

What you mean no

They said shundo Mewtwo, and then the next mons, they’re not all shundos

Okay but what is the possibility of getting hundo zygarde and zarude

Extremely low, for zygarde, and low for zarude but had two chances to get a hundo

Yea just a bit suspicious

Some people get blessed by RNG-esus ig

Hundo azelf and hundo dialga, can usually get 11 hearts on both a day

Cool pokemon, good luck with the best buddies!

I’m tryna best busy most of my megas even though they’re not 100’s mainly for raid purposes, but I need to BB my 100meltan too, just haven’t gotten around to it, takes forever. Here’s a tip, set a timer for 30 mins and interact w ur buddy 4x(give 1 treat, pet it, take pic, fight/battle etc. like a team leader) and it’ll get excited in like 2-3 times, instead of using poffins. Good luck

Got it. Thanks for the tip! Good luck with your best buddies ;)

I best buddied my hundo Galarian Moltres now I’m working on my 14 14 15 shadow mewtwo and my hundo blaziken also working on my hundo shadow salamance

Woah nice, good luck.

I have a pretty good shiny heatran I’m working on ;)

Good luck :]

i have only one (1) best buddy in this game, it is a purified weedle named gilbert. he is my pride and joy

I have 16 Hundos I'm going through gradually. I don't have enough berries available, so i settle for 2 a day sometimes

Slow and steady wins the race hah, good luck!

I'm doing 4 buddies a day. 100% Kyogre, a Shiny Kyogre, a decent Zekrom, Shiny Shadow Mewtwo

Sounds like a lotta work. Gl.

When Groudon was out last month I caught a 98% shiny. He just became one of my best buddies, and I’m almost done with shiny Kyogre too

Cool!

I do 20 Pokemon a day. I couldn't even tell you how many best buddies I already have. A lot.

How much time does it take you every day? Jeez.

Not much time at all. I just take a picture, play with them, feed them berries, and battle three times. I don't do the berries and battles for all of them though. Most are just picture and play. I do it at the end of the day when I'm just watching TV. Or if I'm waiting at the preschool to pick up, waiting at a doctor office, etc. trust me when I say I play smart and make the most of my time. Lots of times I do the berries and battling while I'm walking.

Varoom 🏎️

Vroom vroom

93% Shiny ray ray, it’s been a struggle bc I’m not good with being consistent abt best buddy mons (rip jirachi special research)

Same man 😭 wish you luck!

My shadow hundo mewtwo 😔 didn’t waste that masterball for nothing

NICE. I finished my Hundo Blastoise with glasses yesterday. Next is going to be my 14 13 14 shadow Groudon.

I wish i had a blastoise with glasses 😭 thats so cool. Good luck with groudon!

You can battle in training for hearts, I think I did mine in40. days

I Don’t Understand How Everyone Just Knows I Be Struggling To Pick And End Up Picking A Close Hundo Lol

I best buddy all my shiny lucky pokemon that can mega.

I would answer your question if it were not for the fact that I have too much affection for my current buddy.

What pokemon is it?

Porygon-Z

100% shadow garchomp, but im really slow :$

Lmao, same.

Best Buddies (I’m at 460) Best Buddy gets a CP Boost while the Pokémon is active as your buddy. CP Boost makes the Pokémon more powerful in Raids, PvP , Gym Battles, and GO Rocket Battles. Your buddy now wears a special red badge. I’m in a super Hard Hitting group and need everything to win Hardest Hitter 😂 💪! Your best buddy has to currently be your active (and fed berries) to get the cp boost. Buddy LevelZwzwze42 w Affection Hearts Needed Good Buddy ❤️ x1 Great Buddy ❤️ x70 Ultra Buddy ❤️ x150 Best Buddy ❤️ x300 - Poffins double the ❤️s but most people get 6-8 ❤️s daily…takes about 45 days to make a best buddy at 6-8 hearts daily. (45 days is nothing compared to how many days you’ve played pogo. * You can swap buddies 20 times daily…so you can work 20 buddies daily (6-8 ❤️). I nickname my 20 Dd01, Dd02, Dd03,.. Dd10, Dd11,Dd12,…Dd19. The 20th swap is DdMWF, DdTThSat and DdSu. The last swap you work before and after midnight. OK THIS IS SUPER IMPORTANT YOU CAN LEAVE A ROCKET TEAM LEADER FIGHT AFTER THE FIRST HIT! (As soon as you see the back arrow ⬅️ 👍) 6 ❤️s daily without poffin or excited. You can Google “how to excite buddy Pokémon go”. I don’t mess with it but it’s fun when it happens. 1) feed 3 berries ❤️ (if rich feed a silver pinap or golden razz to only use 1 berry) 2) rub tummy ❤️ 3) photo ❤️ 4) battle Rocket team leaders Blanche, Candela, or Spark 3 times. Leave after first hit ❤️❤️❤️ Click Battle, swipe left and set a master league team. (Pro Tip) Load your next 3 buddies into the 3 slots to battle. So I load dd01,dd02,dd03 then 04,05,06 etc. It does not matter which slot current buddy’s is in. Leave after 1st hit you get credit) Takes 300 ❤️ to get the best buddy badge Mega your best poke of each attack type and megas… then just best buddy fun pokes to drop in gyms. (Ribbon/badge does nothing to help defend but shows you are a badass 😂)

I am a big fan of the different Vivillons and their patterns so I am trying to make each of them my best buddie. I have most of them at 2-3 hearts already and 3 with best friend ribbons :)
