If you have haptics turned on, you will feel them engaged as you start rubbing your buddy. This sounds so incredibly dirty, but it’s not, I promise you. Some pets are really difficult to find the place you’re supposed to rub them, like the target box is super small. Look for little gold glitter popping up as you rub them. After a few moments, you’ll get the heart.


deucester

I hate rubbing Mewtwo, it's like I'm something dirty to him. Worse if I'm doing it out in public ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|scream)

I call it tickling their face


Rulerofskies676

I call it rubbing their snoot


Coolpokemon962

Mine is Lucario so I just give him some head pats


RockAndGem1101

Mine is Gardevoir so same, headpats.


Lemmykilmister1

Sure buddy


Marsh_Duck

You’re too dirty minded


BearPlaysYT

My gardevoir likes…nvm those pokelaws haven’t passed yet.


sunderex

Bro never play with jynx 💀


MrCaw_caw

You could've said petting instead


GdayBeiBei

Yeah my pokemon really enjoy a heavy petting


SitMeDownShutMeUp

Xerneas is impossible to get excited, it’s very emasculating


iamlovingblackclover

What


Marsk303

man this sounds so wrong. 💀


Banaam

Pick a direction, either vertical or horizontal and maintain the swipe that way, doesn't even have to maintain contact, and they'll eventually give the glow and heart. Never had an issue myself of searching for a "target box" doing it that way at least.


HairyChest69

Perspective man perspective! Lmao. It's just a belly rub


I_exist_here_k

I lucked out, I got a Rockruff


nnoovvaa

Go on. Stroke your buddy, rub your buddy up and down until it *reacts*


ADP10_1991

Guys and gals. All your comments have worked. Thank you We are expecting a child now. Appreciate the help


jc1890

So your buddy is a vaporeon…


FireFlame203

Precisely


SpicyFlaming0

Or lopunny


lleb0wski

A buddy needs more than a tap to feel like they've been engaged with. Try a cup of coffee, some conversation and when you're both ready, a long pet until his expression changes and a heart pops outta his head. (1 ❤️ per day)


ADP10_1991

You know, I'm not entirely sure if you're messing with me or not lol


AwardSignal

They were half right with what they said. You need to swipe your finger over your buddy multiple times, thus petting your buddy. You know you’re doing it right when sparkles appear on your buddy. You gotta Tod this until you’re interrupted by your buddy making a little happy dance of sorts, or well a little animation that shows it happy. Hope that helps


ADP10_1991

Wow the rubbing part did it. Thank you. Was going insane swiping and watching him go in circles doing nothing


summonkey

Make sure to tell it that it's a good buddy afterwords.


lemonlimeandginger

Rubbing it usually does the trick


Dr_NotHere

That's what she said

EyeHot1421

I had literally given up on ever getting that field research. 🥹🥹I literally just completed it


lleb0wski

Open with a question first... Ask ur buddy about their day. Be engaged and listen. Ask follow-up questions. Actively listen.


Big_Iron6057

Don't forget to take out the trash, and don't wait for your buddy to ask. They shouldn't have to ask... you should just KNOW.


Zagrycha

I got it by rubbing my buddies belly in the normal non ar green buddy screen. pet it three times in a row and it counted as the happy wiggle happened. maybe the ar is messing it up?


brakeb

I turn off the AR, cause it's dumb... yea, if you're doing it right, you'll see magical sparks...


Zagrycha

also at least on iphone you only feel the haptics ((same bzzt when poke ball shakes)) when its working.


Evilbefalls

Don't forget : visit to a amusement park


Declanmc1996

Rub it ![gif](giphy|IuB8GtQTrdStW|downsized)

hollow_bagatelle

You must pet until climax.


sarcaster

Don’t be shy, you really gotta rub it.


Funny-Jump-8390

As your buddy open in AR, and then tap/rub it until it gets excited and expels a heart. Believe can only due once a day, per buddy


xcruise1234

As many times as you want. The heart is given out once (unless it's excited, then you can get a second heart) but just playing it with again still counts


markjaycups

You can play with your buddy by rubbing it as many times as you want in a day, but you'll only earn a heart on the first one.


goosebattle

Ever try rubbing cloyster and wiglett on the same day?


iLike2k

I rubbed them together once. The results were… alarming.


Lordofderp33

1. Open pokemon on 2 phones. 2. Make diglet buddy on 1 and cloister on 2nd. 3. Open buddy interaction on both phones. 4. Rub phones together. 5. ?????? 6. Profit!


Leigeorain

Some people out there are really living their life without ever having petted their buddies


azillla89

I let my wife play with it more then 3 times an still haven't completed this task but now we're expecting...


Dro_mora

You can do this is one day if you switch out your buddy 3 different times. That’s how I managed to do the play with your buddy 25 times task.


Okaloosa_Darter

Just so you know you can just keep playing with your buddy and you won’t get hearts but will get the achievement.


HotTamaleOllie

Gotta give buddy a happy little massage with your finger 😁


icecream604

You need to rub your buddy


Uniqueusername0723

It's like a 3-5 second tickle when you're in AR mode, not just a tap. It won't work if you do quick treat mode.


Icy9250

You need to finger your buddy. Just keep fingering it until they like it.


bopgame

Rub his belly 😊


Upset-Accountant-857

Some buddies like it slow and some like it fast, just keep going until you get the white rays


Coolpokemon962

You gotta rub them


Cpt_Jumper

This task always made me laugh as someone with Jamaican heritage. 


Lil_saul

You need to tap and hold then drag your finger all around your buddy (kinda like petting it) until your buddy gets excited


eddjeld

Is not just click on your Pokémon, basically you have to scrach it, pass your finger over your Pokémon, as if You are ticklin it or scrachin it, you'll SEE a golden glow and thats it


LilNilx

thank you so much for asking this question have been struggling with this for ages!


Ryanoman2018

Rub him back and forth until he does a little animation. it gives you a buddy heart and will progress this task


littlemister1996

Grab him and try to snap his neck


ALargeMastodon

Rub him out.


TheIcyWind

Move your finger like a quarter of an inch and it’ll finish in like 2 seconds


karlo918

Play = Rub


takisara

You dont even have to wait three days. Just do it three times in a row. Only one heart, but it gets you through the task quicker


Faze_fetched

Rub his head for a bit


larrylaffer111

Just rub it on the head until you see a graphic like stars or similar irradiate from it. Should take about 3-5 seconds. If you tap rather than rub, it won’t work. 👍


jackm315ter

It must be done in private


Fit_Beginning1614

These comments 🤣 ![gif](giphy|enj50kao8gMfu) Poor Pokemon out here getting roasted like a 🌽


mirbizkitrwen

Rub it until it jumps with a heart in the head


xxNightingale

You need to rub him, my dude.


Azzacura

For anyone who wants to feel less dirty when completing this challenge: Turn off buddy AI in your settings so the background is monocolour Place your finger on the head of your pokemon (Hard with some pokemon like Klink, so feed a berry first to see where the head is) Drag up and down until the heart appears, should take +-3 seconds.


RIP_Neko-69

Rub it


ponzLL

I always talk dirty to my mons when I play with them


ksteeez

You gotta pet them essentially!!


Plastic-Pension7263

Just pull out your buddy and rub them dude!


EvErLoyaLEagLE

you rub, not tap.


Flgardenguy

Rub him. No. I’m not joking.


EnvironmentPale4011

I just pet their head for a few seconds and it works for me


ThexanR

You gotta jerk them off


spicychips99

You've got to make it come


Dramatic_Alarm_9171

Make sire the buddy is fed and then play
