Niantic released the latest content update for Pokemon Go on iOS and Android. The update brings a Buddy Pokemon system to the game, which allows users to earn extra Pokemon Candy by walking certain distances.

With this Buddy Pokemon feature, a user can select one of their Pokemon to be their trainer’s “buddy,” and they can earn Pokemon Candy for this Pokemon by walking the required distances. The distances can vary, depending on the Pokemon. For instance, players may need to walk three kilometers to earn an Oddish Candy and five kilometers to earn an Eevee Candy.
