@@barkumo step 1. Never put the game down. Step 2. Get every interaction with your buddy every 30 minutes to get them excited. Step 3. Repeat until hearts fill up.
@@barkumo Every 30 minutes, you snapshot your buddy, play with your buddy, give it a couple berries, and pop in for a quick trainer battle (complete with a hasty retreat). Combine all that with some walking around so a couple random distance hearts show up, and within a couple of hours you have a hyped up, excited buddy. Sometimes I can max out on hearts for one buddy and then swap buddies and get a second one excited, too.
As someone who tries to get as many hearts per day as possible (not 30, but at least 22-25) this was def a cool achievement. For those free to play, you don’t need to use a poffin every day. You can get your buddy “excited” by interacting with it every 30 minutes (play, snapshot, feed, battle, etc.) Overall very cool! I don’t use the sleep feature but will definitely start for the hearts lol
I was always confused about the interacting thing. So every half hour I take a pic and then how long until excited? And does it retroactively boost my previous hearts? Don't I have to also walk and do other things to excite it?
I have tried the 30-minute thing without any luck. What works for me is walking 10 or 12 kilometers. That gets my buddy excited. I discovered it during a community day 😆
I believe there’s a glitch where if you switch from a buddy that has an unclaimed souvenir to another buddy, it gives that buddy a souvenir too. If it still works, that could be a good way to guarantee the 31 heart days!
@@pokedaxi What if you stockpiled 10-20 buddies with gifts / souvenirs and used one or two of those every day for a heart? Just switching to one of those and then back to sableye
Hi there, Long-time follower of your channel here. Currently, I'm deep into honing the Best Buddy platinum medal, leveraging a strategy that's a notch above the usual, somewhat akin to the background buddies technique you've talked about. My routine? A strict feed-pet-snapshot-train-PvP cycle, every half hour plus thirty seconds on the dot. I've got it down to a science where I can fire up my buddy, racking up at least 13 hearts in just shy of an hour and a half. If I can do at least one battle with a grunt, leader, gym, raid, or even just hitting up a new POI, finishing a route, or snagging those sleep rewards, and I'm cutting that down to 65 minutes before it's time for a buddy swap. I'm consistently cycling through 9 to 12 buddies this way, while still managing to hit 6 hearts with my other pals and get 4 to 5 new best buddies weekly. By my calculation, you could potentially achieve 300 buddy hearts a day with a hefty dose of grit. That's VIRTUALLY ONE BEST BUDDY DAILY, or practically 20 best buddies in 20 days . And who better to tackle this challenge head-on than Poke Daxi? You've got the chops for it, no doubt. BurumaDadio
Great video! As a side note, you can decrease the randomness of buddy gifts/souvenirs by "saving" gifts from other buddies and have them "give" it to the target one. All you have to do is not open the gift from a buddy that has one and swap to your target buddy.
Hello Daxi, On December 1, 2023, I started changing Pokémon 20 times (as you said in one of your videos), making 6 hearts with each one, so far I have 56 best buddies now, that means I get a new buddy every 8 days
This is appropriate as I’m getting my very first best buddy today! And now I’m doing background buddies thanks to your channel! Keep up the great work!
Man I subscribed to you like 3 months ago. Even in that short time your videos keep getting better and better. I appreciate your grinding and all the shared info.
The grind and dedication are real! Congratulations on getting a World Record. I believe the fastest I've got a beat bud was 14 days. I actually never knew about the 3 extra hearts you get.
Huge W with a new record! Only way to beat it now would be to actually time it and start late one night, and finish right after the last day starts. Im a pretty casual player, and only got my first best buddy in last October. I dont know why i never realized the catch benefit (and the cool badge). Since then ive got 3 more, but now im running into the problem of not knowing what to do next lol. Currently with a 96% Origin Dialga. Maybe ill do a costumed Dragonite, so it has a bowtie, glasses, AND a fancy shmancy badge. I guess its a good thing im not getting them done at a record pace
How many likes for you to do 20 best buddy’s at the same time in 10 days? That’s the grind I want to see. 120km per day. The rest is all pretty feasible. Just tedious.
Good thing Pokémon Go content is your full time job then. 😅 Assuming you can’t get all 6 walking hearts, won’t always be able to find 20 new Pokestops per day without leaving Ottawa, and can’t get the sleep bonus hearts on all 20 I believe you can realistically still do it in 14 days. 19 guaranteed hearts (feed, play, snapshot, battle, route, powered up spin) * 14 days = 270 hearts + 30 additional hearts throughout the 2 weeks between some walking, some new stops, random gifts, and sleep hearts. It’s doable. But sounds like you’re not up for the challenge. 😱 “I best buddied 20 Pokemon in 14 days” seems like a good video idea.
Awesome dedication Daxi. To me getting 54 hearts (across 9 different pokemon) each day allows me to get 9 best buddies in 50 days using only regular berries and 30 minutes a day.
Couldn't you use the method of chaining gifts to reduce the "luck" factor? As long as any one of your best buddies finds a gift, not opening it & switching buddies will chain the gift for any buddy that is eligible even if they didn't find one naturally. I remember this being a thing for one of the player level tasks requiring your buddy to find souvenirs.
Daxi, I literally knew you are going to upload something which requaier a lot of your time and effprt. Just because on 1 od your previous video you looked so tired and I was worried. I hope you are good now and feel better! Cheers bro!
When shadow Ultra Beast raid boss debut in Pokemon Go, the loudspeaker shaped wormhole must have shadow aura surrounding it. New feature on Pokemon Go games..
When I do the scanning, I’m usually not close enough to scan it, but it still lets me because I’m just barely close enough so I just scan my feet. Don’t tell Niantic. 3:22
Please go after the most stardust in a single catch, I’ve been chasing that one since 2018. Almost every year Niantic does something to make it larger, last year alone it went up 3 times. Currently the highest was in Jan 2024 but I couldn’t do it that day. Planing for a Stardust record catch is like planning to view a solar eclipse: right time, right place, have a good camera (for expert handler), and hope the clouds are in your favor
Congrates on your world record bro,excellent watch ! I have one question regarding PvP poke ,so every season Niantic adjust the ranks ,for example last season only one of the tapus belonged in master ,but this season they got added , what's the best way to know not to transfer a pokemon just for them to be relevant in a season down the road and vise versa a pokemon u built looses rank .. trying to spend star dust on top contenders but it seems it could change anytime ? Thanks for your time
Nice to watch your videos over breakfast. Today I learnt how to recognise a pokostop which I haven't visited before. Thank you. I encourage you to do more records. I have 159 showcase wins. What is the biggest you have heard of. What is largest number of unique polo stops ? These are questions you could ask and see what replies you get.
Please do a world record for the most showcase wins in a single showcase type; would be hard and take timing but you could slot in a different timezone, fly home, win, and slot in the same showcase but at home and win 6 in one showcase
My method is not great, but works for me. I only get 6-7 hearts with the 20 pokemon that we can have during the day. I swap them to get them feed, snap, play and the 3 battles, sometimes the gift. Afterwards I leave one pokemon fed to grind for mega energy + km hearts (usually a legendary, so Kyogre or Groudon are the ones that work the best). I don't use poffins.
Hey Daxi I am full time editor and a freelancer. I belongs to India so I have idea, should I dub your videos in Indian regional languages like Hindi, Tamil, Telugu,bengali etc
To me using a car to play pogo feels really sad (and dangerous kinda), but I think people in america use their cars for pretty much everything they do because of poor urban planning
This is a heck of a lot of effort. Without poffins and without bonus hearts you should be able to get… 7 best buddies in no more than 38 days Or 21 best buddies in no more than 50 days And you shouldn’t even need an hour a day to do this - which I assume is much, much, much less than the time needed to get
Stack souvenirs on other buddies then swap in your new buddy with the old one having the gift and then boom souvenir glitched over to your wanted buddy

Using a poffin (paying or scan tasks) is a waste.

Glad I can help nice!
I've never seen so many bonus hearts before 😅.. and shout outs to the people that can still use AR and scan stops for puffins and powerup

Wow!! Well done, this is actually insane. Consistency is definitely key! Love the dedication

10:29 How did you get those sleep hearts? Please let me know, Thanks

My fastest is 11 days! I’m glad I’m not too far off the record.

Daxi the vids have been great. i can tell youre giving a lot of effort. the PoGo community appreciates it!!
Thanks for the support !
Thank you glad you guys are enjoying it!
Gj, did this as well with my 4* shadow machamp :)
Nice vid again! Sad the moustache had to go ;)
this was shot before
I had no idea you could get more than 3 Bonus hearts :o
seek discomfort hoodie ! thats awesome :)
The editing skills are 🔥
Shoutout to the editor brayden
Dam this confirms Dax is the best Pokemon go player
Great video!
🤡
Didn’t know putting the go++ to sleep would give bonus hearts. That’s actually clutch. Definitely going to make regular use of that feature now
Do more World Records you’re the Goat Daxi
Will do bro!

appreciate you bro!
Hey i also did the same srtategy like a week ago, am i now also ''the record holder''
Poxedaxi should call Guinness to collect for this record and your 11 hour lvl 40 achievement
True actually haha
I thought when you reach 1 heart shy, it auto/forced brings you a gift to hit the best buddy...
The dedication Daxi. Thanks for your work
Nice we share world records 🎉
Whats the none poffin world record?
I’m guessing just double the time but I did not do any calculations or nothing
you could do it for free with the free buddy excited method

yes theory hoodie goes crazy

How many best buddies does she have? Just want to know how I stack up
130 now
Once I left my autocatcher to sleep for 24 hours+. And I think it gave me like 5 hearts of friendship

I’m currently working on best buddying my shadow shiny politoed. Awesome vid!
Thank you for the new challenge to try, great video.
Good luck
Meanwhile I’ve been working on my armored mewtwo for 3 months
rip lol
can we just agree the current ar change is so bad
yes
A beg to differ, happy Gilmore accomplished that feat no more than an hour ago 😂

Need new pokestop locations? Come play with me in AZ lol. Also, request to make my own version of this challenge for my own channel
I did math, and if I use a poffen everyday and if I get all the hearts which is 36, I’ll be able to get a bb in 9 days
this dudes videos are so underrated
Hold on, you can drive in a car for routes?! Is there no speed limit for it to register?
max 25 mph
no maybe like 100km is max
just change your buddy from Sableye to a random Pokemon and i think everything resets
Hey Daxi I am full time editor and a freelancer. I belongs to India so I have idea, should I dub your videos in Indian regional languages like Hindi, Tamil, Telugu,bengali etc
Ill consider it! Not sure if I have the budget to right now
Brisbane, Australia. South bank on the River is every Pogo players dream.
I love XXL Sableye cuz I got a non-shiny rank 4 GBL XXL myself, so cool
Do you need Pokémon sleep for the extra hearts with the Pokémon++?
To me using a car to play pogo feels really sad (and dangerous kinda), but I think people in america use their cars for pretty much everything they do because of poor urban planning
It took me almost this whole year to get 2 best buddies. And they are both dittos because I love ditto. One shiny one non shiny.
This is a heck of a lot of effort.

yes this video is not about efficiency LOL
So awesome! Love your unique vids!
I really need to do better about doing best buddies 😂
u know the game is for walking outside XD i mean on day 5 the sun is out, why are u in the car?
its like -20 mid winter outside LOLLL - sun doesn't mean its hot

yes but do you get two everyday for 10 days straight...
Really? This game requires luck? I get shundos pretty much everyday on command
damn Sableye is such a cool favorite pokemon, mine's also a gen 3 dark type being cacturne
How many hours does the game have to be closed for 2 hearts
I didn't know about the sleep feature or the power-up stops!
this vid made me wanna grind to Best buddy my Greninja thanks daxi❤
I did not know you could get hearts from spinning powered up stops!
Man I need this, I really want to best buddy my shadow shiny Mewtwo so thanks for this
Wait whatt?? I literally spun 2 powered up pokestops today and did not get any bonus hearts
Nice grind!
Make or break the run... It's gonna be gifts....
exactly
Lol i didn’t know you could get extra hearts by leveling up pokestops. Thank you Daxi 👍
Are best buddies day equate to days spent with buddy?
Cause i have a few thay say 8 days spent!?
How far did you have to travel to hit the new pokestops
Nice Video as always
I legit never knew you could get 32 hearts!
There is a way to trigger gifts with other buddies used.
If you level up your buddy you can get a souvenir
