    a snorlax. although im still a few candies short of getting a weezing and a muck, im walking a snorlax because im in the process of hatching 3x 10km eggs. most likely coincidence but i hatched an exeggute out of a 5km egg while i was walking one, and the same with vulpix. 2 more kilometers to go!

    Mine is currently Charmander, because I really want Charizard, and I dunno how common wild Charmanders are for anyone else, but you never see them around here. ;;

    Right now I've got Slowpoke as my buddy Pokemon. Haven't seen one in the wild for over a month now, so I figured if I ever wanted a Slowbro, I should start walking with it!

    I don't have any buddies right now; I wasn't aware of this feature until today.

    I feel like this is a perfect addition, though; it's not very easy to earn candies for certain Pokémon, and this kind of helps with that.

    I finally hatched a Magnemite so I've had it as my buddy since. 40k later and I still need like 20 candies. :x This is going to take a long time.

    I've been switching back and forth, getting one candy then switching.


    Right now mainly just the 1km ones like Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Clefairy and Geodude.


    If I still need 20+ candies for a Pokémon I wait until I hatch one and only need 5, then I might leave it in there.

    Currently have Grimer as my right hand man. I just need Muk and Lapras and I'm done with the Pokedex for what I can catch in my country!

    Used to be Charmander for which I earned a total of 53 candies from walking / ridin in traffic a total of 159 km. But since I have not caught any additional charmander with better IV (even the hatch is also elusive) so I stopped before I can reach the point I can evolve it all the way through Charizard.

    Now, my buddy is Kadabra which I walked currently at 9km. This one is a Wonder Kadabra so I will may be switch this out once Alakazam is achievable already.

    I just swapped out my Buddy to be my Arcanine. Now I'm feeling like a Beastlord from my old Everquest days ...
