@@barkumo step 1. Never put the game down. Step 2. Get every interaction with your buddy every 30 minutes to get them excited. Step 3. Repeat until hearts fill up.
@@barkumo Every 30 minutes, you snapshot your buddy, play with your buddy, give it a couple berries, and pop in for a quick trainer battle (complete with a hasty retreat). Combine all that with some walking around so a couple random distance hearts show up, and within a couple of hours you have a hyped up, excited buddy. Sometimes I can max out on hearts for one buddy and then swap buddies and get a second one excited, too.
As someone who tries to get as many hearts per day as possible (not 30, but at least 22-25) this was def a cool achievement. For those free to play, you don’t need to use a poffin every day. You can get your buddy “excited” by interacting with it every 30 minutes (play, snapshot, feed, battle, etc.) Overall very cool! I don’t use the sleep feature but will definitely start for the hearts lol
I was always confused about the interacting thing. So every half hour I take a pic and then how long until excited? And does it retroactively boost my previous hearts? Don't I have to also walk and do other things to excite it?
I have tried the 30-minute thing without any luck. What works for me is walking 10 or 12 kilometers. That gets my buddy excited. I discovered it during a community day 😆
I believe there’s a glitch where if you switch from a buddy that has an unclaimed souvenir to another buddy, it gives that buddy a souvenir too. If it still works, that could be a good way to guarantee the 31 heart days!
@ What if you stockpiled 10-20 buddies with gifts / souvenirs and used one or two of those every day for a heart? Just switching to one of those and then back to sableye
Hi there, Long-time follower of your channel here. Currently, I'm deep into honing the Best Buddy platinum medal, leveraging a strategy that's a notch above the usual, somewhat akin to the background buddies technique you've talked about. My routine? A strict feed-pet-snapshot-train-PvP cycle, every half hour plus thirty seconds on the dot. I've got it down to a science where I can fire up my buddy, racking up at least 13 hearts in just shy of an hour and a half. If I can do at least one battle with a grunt, leader, gym, raid, or even just hitting up a new POI, finishing a route, or snagging those sleep rewards, and I'm cutting that down to 65 minutes before it's time for a buddy swap. I'm consistently cycling through 9 to 12 buddies this way, while still managing to hit 6 hearts with my other pals and get 4 to 5 new best buddies weekly. By my calculation, you could potentially achieve 300 buddy hearts a day with a hefty dose of grit. That's VIRTUALLY ONE BEST BUDDY DAILY, or practically 20 best buddies in 20 days . And who better to tackle this challenge head-on than Poke Daxi? You've got the chops for it, no doubt. BurumaDadio
Great video! As a side note, you can decrease the randomness of buddy gifts/souvenirs by "saving" gifts from other buddies and have them "give" it to the target one. All you have to do is not open the gift from a buddy that has one and swap to your target buddy.

Ya I used this method but doesn't work everyday - inconsistent strategy & also depends on if its a gift or a souvenir as well
Hello Daxi, On December 1, 2023, I started changing Pokémon 20 times (as you said in one of your videos), making 6 hearts with each one, so far I have 56 best buddies now, that means I get a new buddy every 8 days
Huge W with a new record! Only way to beat it now would be to actually time it and start late one night, and finish right after the last day starts. Im a pretty casual player, and only got my first best buddy in last October. I dont know why i never realized the catch benefit (and the cool badge). Since then ive got 3 more, but now im running into the problem of not knowing what to do next lol. Currently with a 96% Origin Dialga. Maybe ill do a costumed Dragonite, so it has a bowtie, glasses, AND a fancy shmancy badge. I guess its a good thing im not getting them done at a record pace
7 месяцев назад
Yes but it would still show 10 days as total time for best buddy cause I think its calendar days not time
This is appropriate as I’m getting my very first best buddy today! And now I’m doing background buddies thanks to your channel! Keep up the great work!
Man I subscribed to you like 3 months ago. Even in that short time your videos keep getting better and better. I appreciate your grinding and all the shared info.
The grind and dedication are real! Congratulations on getting a World Record. I believe the fastest I've got a beat bud was 14 days. I actually never knew about the 3 extra hearts you get.
Awesome dedication Daxi. To me getting 54 hearts (across 9 different pokemon) each day allows me to get 9 best buddies in 50 days using only regular berries and 30 minutes a day.
Nice to watch your videos over breakfast. Today I learnt how to recognise a pokostop which I haven't visited before. Thank you. I encourage you to do more records. I have 159 showcase wins. What is the biggest you have heard of. What is largest number of unique polo stops ? These are questions you could ask and see what replies you get.
Daxi, I literally knew you are going to upload something which requaier a lot of your time and effprt. Just because on 1 od your previous video you looked so tired and I was worried. I hope you are good now and feel better! Cheers bro!
Couldn't you use the method of chaining gifts to reduce the "luck" factor? As long as any one of your best buddies finds a gift, not opening it & switching buddies will chain the gift for any buddy that is eligible even if they didn't find one naturally. I remember this being a thing for one of the player level tasks requiring your buddy to find souvenirs.
7 месяцев назад
yes but doesn't work each day - I tried in this run but didn't mention it
Congrates on your world record bro,excellent watch ! I have one question regarding PvP poke ,so every season Niantic adjust the ranks ,for example last season only one of the tapus belonged in master ,but this season they got added , what's the best way to know not to transfer a pokemon just for them to be relevant in a season down the road and vise versa a pokemon u built looses rank .. trying to spend star dust on top contenders but it seems it could change anytime ? Thanks for your time
My method is not great, but works for me. I only get 6-7 hearts with the 20 pokemon that we can have during the day. I swap them to get them feed, snap, play and the 3 battles, sometimes the gift. Afterwards I leave one pokemon fed to grind for mega energy + km hearts (usually a legendary, so Kyogre or Groudon are the ones that work the best). I don't use poffins.
Please go after the most stardust in a single catch, I’ve been chasing that one since 2018. Almost every year Niantic does something to make it larger, last year alone it went up 3 times. Currently the highest was in Jan 2024 but I couldn’t do it that day. Planing for a Stardust record catch is like planning to view a solar eclipse: right time, right place, have a good camera (for expert handler), and hope the clouds are in your favor
When shadow Ultra Beast raid boss debut in Pokemon Go, the loudspeaker shaped wormhole must have shadow aura surrounding it. New feature on Pokemon Go games..
This is a heck of a lot of effort. Without poffins and without bonus hearts you should be able to get… 7 best buddies in no more than 38 days Or 21 best buddies in no more than 50 days And you shouldn’t even need an hour a day to do this - which I assume is much, much, much less than the time needed to get
Please do a world record for the most showcase wins in a single showcase type; would be hard and take timing but you could slot in a different timezone, fly home, win, and slot in the same showcase but at home and win 6 in one showcase
Stack souvenirs on other buddies then swap in your new buddy with the old one having the gift and then boom souvenir glitched over to your wanted buddy
Get up to 31 hearts a day with this method maybe some more if do swaps at the end of the day. Or can get 126+ with much less effort and time spent doing it.
When I do the scanning, I’m usually not close enough to scan it, but it still lets me because I’m just barely close enough so I just scan my feet. Don’t tell Niantic. 3:22
How many likes for you to do 20 best buddy’s at the same time in 10 days? That’s the grind I want to see. 120km per day. The rest is all pretty feasible. Just tedious.

bro I would be doing buddies for 10 hours a day LOL
Good thing Pokémon Go content is your full time job then. 😅 Assuming you can’t get all 6 walking hearts, won’t always be able to find 20 new Pokestops per day without leaving Ottawa, and can’t get the sleep bonus hearts on all 20 I believe you can realistically still do it in 14 days. 19 guaranteed hearts (feed, play, snapshot, battle, route, powered up spin) * 14 days = 270 hearts + 30 additional hearts throughout the 2 weeks between some walking, some new stops, random gifts, and sleep hearts. It’s doable. But sounds like you’re not up for the challenge. 😱 “I best buddied 20 Pokemon in 14 days” seems like a good video idea.

I regularly make Best Buddies in 12 days and I do it without using poffins, so TEN DAYS, NO POFFINS is now a personal goal.

Step 2. Get every interaction with your buddy every 30 minutes to get them excited.

Using a poffin (paying or scan tasks) is a waste.
Can get 21 best buddies in 50 days with very little effort.

seek discomfort hoodie ! thats awesome :)

Poxedaxi should call Guinness to collect for this record and your 11 hour lvl 40 achievement
True actually haha
Nice we share world records 🎉
this dudes videos are so underrated
damn Sableye is such a cool favorite pokemon, mine's also a gen 3 dark type being cacturne
this vid made me wanna grind to Best buddy my Greninja thanks daxi❤
yes theory hoodie goes crazy

You make the best videos!
Appreciate you!
That's no XXL Sableye, that's the ever elusive Golden Goblin!!!
Nice grind!
Lol i didn’t know you could get extra hearts by leveling up pokestops. Thank you Daxi 👍
Please do a world record for the most showcase wins in a single showcase type; would be hard and take timing but you could slot in a different timezone, fly home, win, and slot in the same showcase but at home and win 6 in one showcase
Whats the none poffin world record?
I’m guessing just double the time but I did not do any calculations or nothing
you could do it for free with the free buddy excited method
Gg! Buddy5 plat medal is one of my goal!
Mais comon fait pas assez froid pour grind tout ça en char 🚘 same for zygarde
I didn't know about the sleep feature or the power-up stops!
Stack souvenirs on other buddies then swap in your new buddy with the old one having the gift and then boom souvenir glitched over to your wanted buddy
Do you need Pokémon sleep for the extra hearts with the Pokémon++?
Meanwhile I’ve been working on my armored mewtwo for 3 months
rip lol
congrats! That's cool
I love your videoes it makes me feel good❤
Thank you for the support
Congratulations 🎉
next do 20 best buddies un 10 days. ( only $20 a day worth of poffins and 120km of walking a day)
Hey i also did the same srtategy like a week ago, am i now also ''the record holder''
Man I need this, I really want to best buddy my shadow shiny Mewtwo so thanks for this
Congratulations🎉🎉🎉
WHERE IS THE MOOSTACHE!?
seems like that an old unreleased video, u can see there's Virizion raid invitation which means that was months ago
this was shot before
@ I know haha
Make or break the run... It's gonna be gifts....
exactly
How far did you have to travel to hit the new pokestops
Are best buddies day equate to days spent with buddy?
Cause i have a few thay say 8 days spent!?
Pa. Love this game an dex. Your fun an relaxing to watch. Your mom is slacking as well.
Hold on, you can drive in a car for routes?! Is there no speed limit for it to register?
max 25 mph
no maybe like 100km is max
Get up to 31 hearts a day with this method maybe some more if do swaps at the end of the day.
Or can get 126+ with much less effort and time spent doing it.
I thought when you reach 1 heart shy, it auto/forced brings you a gift to hit the best buddy...
New buddy challenge, only use the sleep hearts to best buddy it. bonus points if its a sleepy pokemon
When I do the scanning, I’m usually not close enough to scan it, but it still lets me because I’m just barely close enough so I just scan my feet. Don’t tell Niantic. 3:22
A beg to differ, happy Gilmore accomplished that feat no more than an hour ago 😂
I did math, and if I use a poffen everyday and if I get all the hearts which is 36, I’ll be able to get a bb in 9 days
i've done this already way back 2020. so it's no big deal now that there are extra ways to earn hearts (i.e. routes)
How, isnt it 300 ❤ you need to get? So how did you get it without thoose 20 from sleep and 20 from routes😅
Low key love Day 2! i need it
We know it was shot earlier because no moustache xD
a good eye
HELP: Should I purify my 12 6 8 blaziken or leave him shadow? I mostly do pvp but I know shadow is good for raids too sooo…🤷♂️
Leave it shadow. That damage boost is too good to pass up
I did not know you could get hearts from spinning powered up stops!

What was ur sybleye stats?
Once I left my autocatcher to sleep for 24 hours+. And I think it gave me like 5 hearts of friendship
