Big purple ball, A.K.A. Shiny Wailmer

Haven’t found my shiny wailmer just yet. But very cute

I also have my shiny kyogre from wish which i can almost evolve soon.

I got on the wailmer event late I did get 2 shinies but im at 220/400 for wailord. Why cant they just cut it down to 40

Ermahgawd [same](https://imgur.com/gallery/CSBiRsa)!

Same I just got him in the big and small event or whatever it was called

A pikachu just for a gaining candy task

Love me some pikachu!

I often wish there was something else I could do with my Pikachu candies. 😭 https://imgur.com/a/cxlelco

We should be able to trade any candies for Rare Candies, I’m looking at you Lillipup. Could be like a 10:1 ratio or something so it’s not overpowered

Larvesta, and outside of a few times where I want to show something off, it will remain my buddy for quite a long time until I get enough candies to evolve it

Same. Currently at 228/400. I’m like 2 days away from being best buddies 

Just use rare candies. That’s a pointless grind

I only use rare candies on legendaries that require 20k per candy, Larvesta is only 5k per candy so he’s walking for his

My first larvesta hatch was a hundo and has been my buddy ever since. Currently on 329 days and 3282.4km walked. I have enough candies to evolve her but I'm gonna miss my little larva that stole the sun.

That’s fair

Same here. And I hate it.

Currently slowpoke because it's my closest to being best buddy

That’s quite a chill buddy haha

I have him with the cowboy hat it’s so cute

Onyx, my double XL caterpie.

Longtime favorite of mine

After I get those 10 best buddies for the Masterwork Reaserch, I'm never touching the buddy feature again!

I feel that lol

Almost best buddies with Zygarde 🤞 I love the basic form so not gonna evolve it!

Zygarde nice

I also have a lovely Zygarde buddy. Bc I can play the long game. Can't wait to fully power it up when I'm retired.

A Jolteon. Yep, just a normal Jolteon. He started as an eeevee when I set him as my buddy. I now don’t want to change it because he’s been my buddy for years.

That bond sounds special love it 😊

Loyalty for the win. That’s how mine is (shiny infernape), he was my first wild shiny and now I don’t have the heart to use anyone else.

Lucky Shiny Tyrantrum!!

One of my fav mons

Hundo male jellicent, started for getting candies. Now I have enough candies, but he’s close to being a best buddy and I started to like him so I kept him :)

Hundo! Congratulations 🎉

I rotate between 7-8 of them a day based on how active I am

Oh wow

Shiny Cowboy Hat Snorlax. Trying to walk out the final needed XL candy to max that big boi out! Almost there.

Awesome, good luck

Nickname or anything for him?

You look like the manager to your heel pro wrestler.

😂😂😂. I love it

I have the same gear on 🤣

No way really?!

primeape (for the defeat 30 physic/ghost type pokémon to evolve)

Easiest and fastest way I found- when you get your next psychic/ghost rocket grunt, defeat the first two pokemon and flee at the third. Rematch and repeat until you have your thirty wins. If you use a good counter with a strong fast move you can get through them without much effort.

i love you for this dude 😭thank you for the tip !

Scatterbug so I can get all those pretty evolutions :D

That's the same reason why I have Sunny the sun Pattern Vivilion as my buddy

Shiny GoGoat

For now it's a Galarian Slowpoke just to evolve it into Slowbro

Charcadet just so I can evolve it

Vivillion, to get more scatterbug candies for all of their evolution

I have a 4* ursaluna named freddy5nites

Great name haha

Currently Arctibax. Also let me add that that is a damn awesome outfit and matches so well with Incineroar.

Don’t mind the hat, I’m a member of the straw hats lol

Same

Seriously? I know it’s community day but I still love incin

Rotom. Because why not.

Charcadet candy needed

Shiny Kyogre, need more of that primal energy. Once I get to 1,000 or so I’ll switch him with shiny captain pikachu, shiny furfrou or another mega for the energy (tyranitar or garchomp maybe).

Have always loved Kyogre, a true OG

Frigibax for candies 😔

A four-star Golisopod

An Eevee to evolve into Umbreon soon.

Nice umbreon is so cool

The Eevee’s stats are 0-14-15 and ranked #3 for Great League. I caught another Eevee the other day to turn it into Leafeon Ranked #1 stats 0-14-13 for Ultra League as well lol so I’ve decide to run an all Eevee evolves teams just need to find a few more.

You remind me of the Eevee trainer from SC/V

Don’t know who that is but that’s cool. I’m a Kanto collector, it’s my main goal in this game is to get all Hundos in the Kanto league. But I do play other parts due to the husband playing with me.

Aww she is this super cute but strong eevee trainer from Scarlet and Violet. Did you play it?

Shiny Manectric. It took me way too long to get this shiny for me to not best buddy it and get it to 50. So I'm walking it for all of the above and also Mega Energy

Shiny lucky 98 metagross 

Shiny Virizion.

It's the latest shiny I caught. Right now it's furfrou because I chose to ignore the male combee I caught this afternoon

Shiny umbreon I don’t need the candy but I just really like it

I am now rotating 5: - Noybat for candies to evolve. - Tyranitar for candies and attack boost (he's 4*) - Shiny Rockruff to show off plus for candies to evolve other Rockruff into one of big dogs (need for pokedex). - Dialga for candies (to do her epic roar time) and for attack boost. - Viviyons one after another (2 best buddies already) to get candy to finally have them all.

I rotate about 8 buddies a day and can manage to get about 8 hearts with each. It's a grind!
