Pokemon GO Buddy evolution guide (2025): All Pokemon that need to Adventure Together and how to do it

There are several Pokemon evolutions in Pokemon GO tied to the Adventure Together as a Buddy mechanic. It adds a different, unique dimension to evolving Pokemon in the game than just through collecting candies.

The basic gameplay cycle of Pokemon GO's evolution mechanic is by collecting enough candies of that specific Pokemon and using them to trigger an evolution. The candy requirement differs from one pocket monster to another, as well as with the evolution stage.

But with time, Niantic also introduced complications to the mechanic which were a welcome change. Currently, there are several special evolutions in Pokemon GO. Some require items or trading to evolve, whereas others only evolve at specific times of the day. The latest to be added to this special group is Snom's evolution into Frosmoth.

Meanwhile, if you are wondering about what your Pokemon's CP will be after the transformation, check out our Pokemon GO Evolution Calculator. The guide below outlines everything you need to know about these unique Pokemon and how to evolve them using the Adventure Together mechanic.
