Pokémon Go Buddy Adventure tips: Poffin Berries

Feeding your buddy in Pokémon GO is perhaps one of the most adorable and cute things, well, ever. Seeing your Eevee nibble away at a berry? You’d have to be heartless to not feel the love! Different berries also fill up different bars of hunger. Razz, Pinap and Nanab berries will fill up two bars of hunger, whilst golden and silver berries will stock up 3 bars.

A Poffin berry (which needs to be purchased for 100 coins) can also max out the hearts for feeding and makes your buddy a little bit, well, excited.

So that’s 10 hearts per day if you put in the effort, but apparently if your buddy gets excited, it can max out at up to 20 heats!

Once your buddy is full, it’ll walk alongside you until it needs to stock up on delicious grub once more.
