While all Pokemon evolve using candies in Pokemon GO, some have additional requirements you must meet before they change to their next form. For many Pokemon, this involves adventuring together to evolve, where you make that creature your buddy and complete designated tasks to unlock their evolution.

What is Buddy Evolution in Pokemon GO?
In Pokemon GO, some Pokemon’s evolutions will be locked with a message that says, “Adventure together to evolve.” This means that, in addition to gathering the required candy for that Pokemon, you’ll also need to complete certain tasks while they are set as your buddy in the game. Of course, Pokemon GO doesn’t make it that easy to figure out what, exactly, you need to do during said adventure to evolve the Pokemon.
There are a variety of buddy evolution tasks in Pokemon GO, including walking a certain distance with your buddy, catching a certain number of Pokemon with a specific type, or using other items while walking with that pal. In this guide, we’re breaking down all the different evolutions that require buddy tasks so you can take your Pokemon to the next stage.
All Pokemon that Evolve Through Walking Distance in Pokemon GO
For these Pokemon, you’ll simply need to add them as your buddy in Pokemon GO, and then walk the specified distance. Once you do so, you can evolve them as long as you have the correct number of Pokemon candies.
