What's included in the Pokémon GO buddy boost
Your chosen Pokémon raised to the target: a buddy level, a set number of hearts or a buddy evolution task.
Every perk and present along the way, such as items your buddy brings, Souvenirs and the Best Buddy ribbon.
Updates in the order chat, with screenshots of your buddy's hearts as they fill.
Not included: friendship levels with other Trainers. Buddy progress is between you and one Pokémon, while friendship with other players is a separate system.
Buddy levels and perks
Buddy level | Hearts needed | What it unlocks |
|---|---|---|
Good Buddy | 1 | Your buddy follows you on the map and shows its mood |
Great Buddy | 70 | Your buddy can help you catch Pokémon and brings you presents |
Ultra Buddy | 150 | Your buddy finds Souvenirs and points out places with bonus items |
Best Buddy | 300 | A CP boost in raids, Gyms, Team GO Rocket battles and Trainer Battles, plus the Best Buddy ribbon. This is the usual order for a Pokémon GO Best Buddy boost. |
Pokémon GO buddy hearts are capped at 10 a day, or 20 when your buddy is Excited, so even the fastest path to Best Buddy takes about two weeks.
Pokémon GO buddy boost options
Sellers price each offer from these choices:
Option | Choices | How it changes the order |
|---|---|---|
Pokémon | The Pokémon you want as your buddy | Progress stays with that Pokémon, so choose the one you care about most. |
Target | Great, Ultra or Best Buddy, a set number of hearts, or a buddy evolution task | Higher levels take more days and cost more. |
Current progress | Your buddy's level and hearts today | Orders are priced from your starting point, so hearts you've earned count. |
Items | Berries and Poffins from your bag, or included by the seller | A Poffin makes your buddy Excited and doubles the hearts it can earn that day. |
Method | Piloted or guided self-play | Piloted: the booster earns the hearts while you take a break. Guided self-play: you play, and the booster tells you the daily routine that fills the hearts fastest. |
Buddy evolution tasks
Some Pokémon only evolve after a task done as your buddy, such as earning a set number of hearts, feeding treats or winning battles together. Eevee, for example, evolves into Sylveon after 70 buddy hearts. Choose the buddy evolution target, and the booster completes the task so the evolution is ready for you.
Requirements
Before you order a Pokémon GO buddy boost, have ready:
The Pokémon set as your buddy, with a screenshot of its buddy level and hearts.
Berries for treats, and Poffins if you want them used, unless your offer includes them.
The Candy needed to evolve, for buddy evolution orders.
Agreed hours with the seller: when you take a break for piloted sessions, or when you play for guided self-play.

Follow your buddy's hearts through daily updates in the chat.
Check your buddy level in game, then confirm the order.
Pokémon GO buddy boost FAQ
Why does Best Buddy take so long?
The daily heart limit can't be skipped, so 300 hearts take about two weeks at the fastest pace with your buddy Excited every day, and longer without Poffins. Offers show a realistic delivery time for your target.
Can I change my buddy during the order?
You can, but only the buddy in your order earns hearts. Switching pauses its progress, so keep it as your buddy until the target is reached.
Does Best Buddy status survive a trade?
No. Trading resets buddy progress, so keep your Best Buddy on your own Trainer. Learn more about trading on our Pokémon GO Pokémon page.
Does a Best Buddy help with Hyper Training?
Your Pokémon needs to be at least your Good Buddy to start Hyper Training, so any buddy order covers that step. For the training itself, see the Pokémon GO Hyper Training boost.
