Details of the newest Pokémon GO update were revealed by Niantic about a week ago, but now the newest version is finally being rolled out. While not addressing criticisms with the game’s tracking features, the update is rather sizeable. The major new feature is the previously announced Buddy Pokémon. However, other changes include making it easier to select smaller Pokemon on the map as well as the usual bug and text fixes. Here’s Niantic’s patch notes:
- Implemented Buddy Pokémon: Trainers will now be able to choose one of their Pokémon to be their buddy. A Trainer can earn Candy for their Buddy Pokémon by walking a certain distance.
- Made it easier to select smaller Pokémon on the screen.
- Fixed an issue where Eggs would sometimes hatch without displaying the animation.
- Improved performance reliability when a device switches networks to no longer cause the application to hang or stop updating.
- Pokémon GO Plus support
- Minor text fixes.
Has anyone actually updated their game yet?
Nope. The update isn’t appearing for me
Dont see the update available on iOS or Google Play Stores yet for Canada. Maybe by later today?
Yeah for some reason I can’t update it still, I’ll give it a little bit.

Can buddy be swapped in and out? I don’t want 100 candies stacking endlessly.
Yes, they can be switched out at any time, according to Niantic on their Facebook page when they announced the feature =)
Thank you, much appreciated.
Thats great at least this let’s me train dumb blastoise and snorlax now. If only I didn’t already give up playing lol
I’m really glad that they implemented the buddy system because I haven’t been able to level up my one and only Lapras, due to lack of candies.
If only this update can happen fast, my Clefairy is begging to get the appropriate candy for evolution.
yah, still nothing…
