In Pokemon Go, buddies play a crucial role, yet there is one particular feature about them that remains largely unexplored, even among experienced players of the mobile game.
Since its start in 2016, Pokemon Go has made significant progress. Similar to traditional games such as Scarlet and Violet, the popular Buddy system allows players to engage, nourish, and have fun with their beloved Pokemon.
Although trainers primarily use this mechanic to strengthen and evolve their top attackers, there is another hidden aspect that many are unaware of – the unique Buddy animations.
One individual, who goes by the username ‘Snorlaxian1’, shared on Reddit that Shaymin leaves a trail of flowers while walking. They also asked if any other Pokémon have interesting animations as buddies.

The post caused a stir in the community with its exciting content, as other users shared surprising information about beloved characters that delighted both frequent and casual players of the game.
Despite their experience, even the most experienced trainers were surprised by the unexpected events that occurred in the game. These included Mythical Meloetta changing the background music, Zapdos and Rayquaza causing trouble for Team Rocket balloons, and Diancie leaving a trail of gems. Their reactions ranged from “I had no idea about this”to “Is this really happening?”
A committed player who has a Best Buddy Meloetta, a rare discovery in Pokemon Go, recently discovered the Mythical’s ability to alter the in-game soundtrack.
Despite already being incredibly impressive, these Buddy animations also provide insight into information about Pokémon that dates back to the first generation. A fan pointed out that Cloyster moves backwards, and even had to search online to confirm that this was the intended movement for Cloyster all along.
In addition, someone who obtained Marshadow at the in-person Go Fest 2024 festivities shared an interesting detail about the recently released Mythical creature. They stated, “When Marshadow moves quickly, it leaves behind a shadow trail that can stretch for the entire road. In my opinion, this is the most impressive effect.”
The introduction of the Buddy feature is undeniably thrilling, and enthusiasts will undoubtedly anticipate the potential inclusion of Necrozma and its Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings fusions at Pokemon Go Fest 2024, with similar capabilities.
