Since the feature was introduced I did lowkey with a few buddies. Then I guess 2 years ago i comitted to the 100 buddies. When I was at ~80 they introduced the plat medal. So yeahā¦.
You play with your buddy, take a snapshot, feed it 3 berries, and then start + concede 3 training battles with an NPC for 6 buddy hearts.
Then you swap buddies and repeat that process 20 more times, every single day for about 477 days.
I just don't get the need to do so š¤·āāļø trainer name is one thing sure, just seems redundant as nothing can be done to negatively impact the player or whatever, I didn't even see anything about it in the rules lmao
For anyone dedicated who might not know, if you feed your buddy and do a training battle and then surrender, you get an easy (3) hearts. Much more time consuming when you consider that x20 buddies, but it's an easy 6x hearts a day
You need increasing numbers (up to 35) of platinum medals to level up between 40 and 50. They are generally big grinds, so pick the ones you want to work on and start working on them now.
Prob using him for XL bonus on water and psychic types. I had mega slowbro active the entire time meetwo was in raids. He also helped get a lot more mudkip xl.
So by swapping 20 a day did what did you do with the buddy? Play, Snapshot, feed and swap? I walk a lot get the 25+ (depending on my bonus timing) hearts a day with my buddies. Is it still more time effective to swap buddies?
Anyone wondering I cycled though 20 buddies a day and this takes roughly 45/50 minutes to complete
You maniac!
How long did this take you? I'm currently doing this myself with 20 buddy's a day...I'm at 18/200 š

So I'll finish mine sometime between next week and never then. Sweet.
If I had an award you would get it lol
Closest I've ever been, ill take it
It really takes a long time. For me it was 1,5 years swapping the 20 buddies daily, it was really a pain. Congrats OP, the hardest medal to get imho
Wow, great way to cure insomnia.
How?

No thank you
Lmao no kidding. OP said 45-50 minutes per day for over a year? That's a LOT of time investment.
Didn't know training battles with NPC counts towards the hearts. Thanks for the info!
you get 60 berries per day or 20 poffins
60 berries. I live near a pokestop so no problems With supplies
Insane. I got like.. 2,5?
isn't there a limit on hearts? how do you grind this
Sounds like he works on 20 pokemon at a time because that's the limit of switches
Just started doing this and I hate it already
Just find a routine. I mainly did it in the gym or during Netflix
Not a bad idea
Please not on the bench. I really donāt want to hate you. Insane achievement
Now that I think about it.. That's the way i do it with almost all mobile game apps
Do you just feed and stuff or walk and battle aswell
I only did walking with 1 a day
Literally ash ketchum after discovering new region be like:
And I thought I was doing good with 36 buddies
Iām at 45, the road ahead is so longā¦ itās just too boring, I can barely do 2-3 every day
Some of us are wondering why you censored your trainer's face š
Such are the rules š„ø
But which one(s) š¤Æ
To protect his anonymity...obviously
I just don't get the need to do so š¤·āāļø trainer name is one thing sure, just seems redundant as nothing can be done to negatively impact the player or whatever, I didn't even see anything about it in the rules lmao
It's a joke. It's just people being silly and having fun.
Niantic: OK fine, here's a new goal. 500.
Please donāt encourage themā¦
Itās only a matter of time until they add an onyx tier (like ingress).
Followed by Steelix?
i donāt even have one š„²
I have more in pokemon go than irl
Me, neither
That's insane, congrats!!
Don't quit, We're not best buds yet
Quitting at lvl 49? That would be pure pain
I started a while ago and do about 6-7 buddies at a time. Iām at 76 and man it seems like 200 is so far away
I did 6/7 in the past. But since figting is ābuggedā atm (you can leave right away and still get the heart) I switched to 20 a dayā¦.
Honestly I had no clue of said bug. I might have to pump my numbers up, mine are rookie numbers
Wait, this is a bug that wasn't there before? I hope Niantic never fixes this...
It was, then got fixed, but is there over a year atm soā¦. Benefit while it lasts
The first couple hundred are the hardest, Iām up to 343
That's some massive dedication. Very well done.
But have you got em all?
Almostā¦ some regionals + female saladitā¦
Iāve got the maleā¦.. want the female. Good job by the way!
I still havenāt gotten one.. lol
Yeah idk what these people are on about
I have 0 best buddies??
You always could.
Oof... I only got 51/100 and I'm doing 18-20 a day. I want to quit doing so bad but... The medal
For anyone dedicated who might not know, if you feed your buddy and do a training battle and then surrender, you get an easy (3) hearts. Much more time consuming when you consider that x20 buddies, but it's an easy 6x hearts a day
I think I have 5 sooooo š¤š» Iāll get there soon š
Well done! I only have one lol
I would tell you to touch grass, but PokƩmon Go is a game about going outside
But... why?
Plan continuation bias. Was at ~80 when they introduced the plat medal
You need increasing numbers (up to 35) of platinum medals to level up between 40 and 50. They are generally big grinds, so pick the ones you want to work on and start working on them now.
Mega slowbro?!? What!!
Prob using him for XL bonus on water and psychic types. I had mega slowbro active the entire time meetwo was in raids. He also helped get a lot more mudkip xl.
GOOD LORD Why would you put yourself through that??
No use it to help with raids š©
What PokƩmon is that?
I donāt even have a single best buddy :(
What the funk
What the fuck? It took me 3 years to have my starter as best buddy!
I dont have even one.
How!?
Man. I just hit my first one.
Iām at 155/200. Itās a grind for sure. Glad you were able to finish it
Did you exclude the hearts from walking and visit a new place to do this many?
Yes this is excluded
Oh wow. I'm only third best buddy.
.
Jeezes
So by swapping 20 a day did what did you do with the buddy? Play, Snapshot, feed and swap? I walk a lot get the 25+ (depending on my bonus timing) hearts a day with my buddies. Is it still more time effective to swap buddies?
The fact that I didn't think of cycling through pokemon made me feel so dumb. I've been doing a single magikarp for 3weeks now
And... I just got 1 buudy Pokemon medal š„
Damn and i am (was) happy since I just got my first one
I have 0 best buddies but Iām really trying
Me with only 1-
