Best video on this that I’ve seen by a long shot! So well organized, and it’s one of the only up-to-date vids! Most of the vids on this subjects have outdated numbers and info since there’s been changes to the system. Awesome job and thanks!
You're welcome! Thanks - my shiny best buddies love being in the videos ✨! I'm excited for tomorrow's event too - will also try to take advantage of the opportunity to beat as many team GO rocket grunts as possible to progress through level 44 tasks to level 45 😜
Hey! Yeah, this week started off busy with work and I wanted to thoroughly research the updates to emotion points and figure out how to best structure and explain the process as simply as I could in a video. Thanks for being patient and glad to know your day was made 😊
Whenever you were explaining something and a question popped into my head you would always answer it a minute later. Very informative and thorough video!
Yes - thank you! Goal 1K reached and the now the aim will be 10K - could take a few years 😝 but that's okay - thanks for being a part of this journey with the channel 😎
You're totally welcome and I'm glad it was helpful - just today alone, I was able to get four buddies to excited mood without using poffins, gaining 15 hearts for each using the method I laid out in the video hour after hour. I'm so happy this video keeps helping the community 😀
This is extremely helpful, thank you! I'll give your schedule a try tomorrow since that sounds really smart. Do you know if a Pokémon's friendship status gets reset if you evolve it?
You're welcome! I like to mark down what I completed before starting the 15 minute timer each time so I do not forget the next interaction I need to do (sometimes if I do not log it somewhere, I'm like wait, did I battle or fed/played/snapshot 15 minutes ago? 😝). Let me know how it went after you tried it. To answer your question, your buddy status with a Pokémon does not reset if you evolve it (I evolved my Axew after reaching Best Buddy with it and it is still be Best Buddy as Haxorus).
This has helped me get to excited and 22 hearts without the 2 find a new location hearts same day I watched the video thank you so much! Just setting a 30 minute timer makes it so easy !
I've read lots of blogs on how to make the buddy excited, but nothing else explained it more clearly. Thanks. Hope we can download your timeline chart for reference.
You’re welcome! Glad it helped you. I don’t have the visual charts available in a public space at the moment but I can see if I can put it on Google drive or something. I’ll follow up if I come up with a solution. Thanks for the comment!
Hey Chrystophir! So happy to see you at 1k. Soon I won’t be able to communicate w/you in comments anymore 😅. But it’s crazy how much you’ve grown! #here before 300 subs xD. Also excited to get armored mewtwo with psytrike in february! Not first this time, but just wanted to let you know i’ll be supporting your channel always!
Hey! Thanks for the support and being a part of this channel's growth! I think it will be a while before I get overwhelmed with too many comments so keep the comments coming because my replies won't stop 😎. I have to look at the details for the Kanto global event closer and dissect the information before making a video but that video will come eventually 😀
Great video!! Very well explained! Has walking 2km a 30 min timer too?Battling gyms how does it count? When you say feeding a berry , does it mean getting him full ?
Thanks! Glad it was informative to you. Thanks for your patience waiting for a response - Walking 2km doesn't have a cooldown most likely due to the fact it takes almost about 30 minute to walk another 2km. Battling gyms does count as its own 2 emotion points similar to how battling a team go rocket grunt with your buddy or battling your team leader AI can all individually give their own 2 emotion points. Battle in a raid counts as its own 2 emotion points, battle with team leader AI, battle with a team GO rocket grunt, battle with a team go rocket leader, battle in gyms, battling in PVP against a real player - all of these count as their own action giving 2 emotion points each so if you do all of these - 6 different kinds of battles x 2 emotion points each = 12 emotion points total if you do all one after another. Hope that clarify things. For battles to count, the buddy Pokemon must be appearing on the map with you so you have to feed it until it is full to get that to happen. If it is already on the map though, feeding 1 berry for 2 emotion points every 30 minutes will suffice to get your emotion points from feeding. Let me know if you have more questions! 😀
I don’t think it does. It can detect if you’re going too fast across the overworld map and most likely won’t count the distance. I believe adventure sync uses whatever the phone uses to track steps and therefore distance based on those movement steps.
Thank you finally I was waiting on someone to make a video about this since the update but strangely no one beside you picked it up and that's crazy because this is really good and better than the old system of getting them excited. Anyways keep up the great work and out to going for more charged tms only got. 21 need probably 30 or so but raid hour should help
You're welcome! It's a topic I wanted to cover for a while so the update to the emotion points aligned well with my intent plus folks were asking how to get more candy for Pokémon that don't spawn often. It used to take me like 3-4 hours to get to a buddy excited and now it takes me under 2 hours so I can get multiple buddies excited for more hearts each day - happy with the update for sure! Thanks for commenting 😎
Fantastic explanation! Now y d heck doesn't niantic provide graohics to indicate the buddy's excitement level, instead of the current heart monitoring which means nothing? Gah lol
Glad to have it explained well enough for the community! The different faces kind of shows emotion points thresholds but it’s not enough for sure so I know what you mean. Thanks for the comment!
Woot woot! Congrats with the green bee ✨🐝! It’s definitely not a common spawn so it’s rare from that perspective. A discord for my channel is possible in the future - I want to focus on this platform first before and do enough research on discord management to best avoid toxicity that I’ve seen exist in other Pokémon GO discord servers. So nothing with discord immediately soon but possibly in the future.
Thanks for the tips I don’t know the rocket leader and grunts gave your extra point for extra hearts. I’ve been getting a lot more Pokémon excited this past weekend.
You’re welcome! To clarify a little more, each kind of battle with your buddy in your battle group (gym, raid, leaders, PvP) can give their own +2 emotion points. Emotion points are to level up your buddy mood. Hearts are different from emotion points to level up buddy friendship. Getting 32 emotions points helps attain excited mood which allows you to earn x2 hearts to increase friendship with your buddy for the day 😀
Great video. I am someone who loves getting my gym budgets gold. I was really curious to why a lot of people don’t put a lot of emphasis on this part of the game as that’s what the Pokemon series is based around, Why isn’t there a medal for gold gyms? Thanks 👍
I have 30 gold gyms haha. I think it would be hard for players to complete that medal if it existed because depending on the number of gold gyms needed, it would require folks to find new gyms that aren’t in their local area and actively do activities to get to gold in order to progress that medal. It’s a good thought though so thanks for sharing!
@@ChrystophirGO That makes sense. Wow 30 gold gyms. I only have 3. I think that could be a great video to make on how to get gold gyms. Another video idea could be, naming your pokemon. Best/ useful naming technique.
Good question. It will not stack if you swap multiple times because each time you swap, it resets the EP to 0 of the buddy you’re swapping out. That’s why if you do reach excited mood with your buddy and you swap with another. it won’t be excited when you swap it back in again because the EP resets fully (but you do get that 2 EP to start when you do have a fresh swap). Hope this makes sense.
Could you theoretically keep a pokemon excited 24/7 if you interacted with it once every 40 minutes, or is there some sort of limitation? Great video on the topic!
Love this question. Yes, once you reach the excited mood for your buddy, as long as you maintain interactions to reset the 40 min countdown each time, you can keep your buddy excited for the rest of the day until the mood resets the following midnight. No other limitation beyond the 40 min countdown in a day once you reach excited mood for your buddy 😎
I have a question for you. After becoming great buddies with a Pokémon how do you get it to give you gifts? I have had mixed results. Sometimes I get gifts sometimes not so much. My goal is to get 20 buddies a day to give me gifts. Let me know if you have any thoughts. Thanks for sharing!
That’s a good question and even I am not sure if there is a specific mechanic to trigger more presents from your buddy. But if I had to guess, it might just be a RNG thing and whether or not you’re near exploring pokestops/gyms. There might possibly be a cooldown period involved as well after receiving a gift from a Pokémon. If I find more specific information about it, I’ll let you know. But for now I would just assume to have a higher chance of a present from a buddy, you’ll need to be around pokestops/possibly walking around an area with some gyms/pokestops
3 berries, play, snapshot, 3 battles Wait 30 minutes or walk 2km 1 berry, play, snapshot, one battle Wait 30 minutes or walk 2km 1 berry, play, snapshot, one battle Wait 30 minutes or walk 2km 1 berry, play snapshot, one battle Excited
Yes, at the 25 minute mark, you’ll lose -1 EP but can regain that back with the next set of emotion points 5 min later so it’s not a huge lost. If you want to avoid that decay altogether then you would follow the every 15 min method I walk through in the video.
@@ChrystophirGO I will! I stopped playing for a month when I reached lvl 40 but now there’s 10 more levels to grind. Plus, I’m excited to hit rank 10 this season again, the pose doesn’t look as good as season 3 but the clothes looks lit this season.
That's a good question! I am assuming the challenge will be catching all 151 during the event timeframe. It wouldn't be much of event if they checked if you completed the Kanto pokedex plus you'll probably have to catch all 151 during the event to progress through event research to get rewards. Once I research more about that event, I'll have a video covering that when I get the chance 😎
Good question! Battling a gym with your buddy in your team will give its own 2 emotion points separate from battling the AI team leader (Blanche, Candela, Spark). So if you did both of these different kinds of battles with your buddy in your battle team for both one after another, you'll get a total of 4 emotions points (2 EP from gym battle and 2 EP from team leader battle).
This is okay! When it looks like you’re ALMOST about to hit best buddy, it will probably take a couple more days of 10+ hearts to finally hit it. In some cases, you might just need 3-5 hearts to finally hit best buddy. Nothing is wrong with your game, just gotta get the next few hearts and you’ll eventually hit it 😁
Thanks for the comment! I would advise you test it out yourself. Here’s how you can test it: get 16 emotion points to get the mood to Fun mood (^_^) the one before excited. After 25/26 minutes, it loses -1 EP to 15 EP, you’ll see the mood face change and drop to Smile (:D) mood. Please give it a try and let me know what you observe 😀
@@ChrystophirGO i uaslly hit i 2 hours tho 4 points when you start plus 3+3+3+3 and i hit 4 at the start and then 3 every half hour bc of the decay they cut Ep inh half when Kalos mons came out if they are now 2 points each that adds up to 32 as well either way I like it alot more lol
Yes, overall, the most important part is being able to hit excited mood easier now hence why I made this video to explain the overall concept to help folks. Thanks for commenting 😀
@@ChrystophirGO yeah I hear you alot of ppl either don't know how to do it properly or know they can do it without poffins appreciate you helping everyone i just havent seen anyone like articles, Niantic youtbers talk about the fact they changed it. I knownits not the biggest deal in the game but haven't heard a word on it just curious is all.
You need to earn 300 hearts to reach best buddy so it depends how many hearts you can get each day to determine an estimate how long it would take. Let’s say you can only earn 8 hearts a day depending what you’re able to do (feed x3, play, snapshot, battle x3) so 300/8 = 37.5 days to get to best friends at this rate. If you get in a few hearts from walking once in a while or get your buddy excited daily, you can speed it up to reach buddy sooner than 37.5 days. Hope this makes sense.
Yes it does! It will reset! So if you worked hard to get your buddy to excited mood and you switched to another buddy, it will not keep that excited mood and will reset. So make sure you’re absolutely sure you want to switch buddies if you’re in the middle of getting to excited mood or your buddy is in excited mood already. Hope this helped!
Good question. You want to plan to keep that excited buddy as your buddy until you can get all the hearts. What I do is keep it as my buddy when I hit excited mood then every hour after it is full, you’ll be able to feed it again to get another two hearts. You keep doing that until you get all the hearts for feeding. Usually it’s just up to two hours or less needed to fill those feeding hearts. So for example, you fed your excited buddy, got your hearts, and the meter is full then wait an hour, then you’ll be able to feed it again for the next hearts. Hope this makes sense. Let me know if you need more clarification.
Hey! Niantic disabled the balloons to fix issues with team go grunt encounters. I’ll follow up whenever they announce it’s fixed and resumes the balloons
Nice question. I’m assuming you’re thinking of a scenario when you’re still up pass midnight on a new day, you’re working on your buddy emotion points before you sleep, and you want to pick up where you left off when you wake up in the morning? Unfortunately, there is no way around emotion decay if you’re not consistently interacting with your buddy. There is no automated method to keep the emotion points from decaying if you’re not actively interacting with your buddy (in this case sleeping). For me personally, I just start in the morning when I wake up. Some folks leave it to start working on emotion points until the evening when they are done with work. Hope this answered your question.
Emotion points are separate from the hearts. You don’t see the number of emotion points you’ve accumulated. In other words, when you feed a berry every 30 minutes, you’re correct you do not see anything but you get emotion points in the background. You have to keep track on your own if you want to count how many emotion points you’ve gained while trying to reach 32 emotion points. Just remember hearts and emotion points are two different things. Hearts go towards buddy level. Emotion points go towards mood to get x2 hearts.
The heart was for the comment question haha. But to answer your question, unfortunately I do not think Niantic will be that generous. Your best bet is to either battle in GBL for the chance to get TMs or do some raids.
@@ChrystophirGO thank you XD, i didn't think you will responde that quick yeyyy. the video was really helpful, i followed the schedual you mentioned in the exemple and it worked perfectly
No problem - happy to answer pgo questions from the community 😀. Glad the video helped you get your buddy excited 😊! Keep it up to get that best buddy status eventually
Definitely a fair question. There are also other ways to expedite the emotion point gains like walking or finding a new pokestop to visit or battling in gyms to help achieve excited mood under 2 hours to maybe 1 hour 30 minutes or less. But it is a free approach and it beats spending pokecoins for poffins though so I think folks like to think of it that way 😎
Mainly earn more hearts to raise buddy level faster and the walking distance to get candy is cut in half so it will be easier to get candy from walking. Those 2 are the main benefits from getting your buddy excited. Let me know if you have more questions 😀
Ah, with feeding there, you can’t feed it when it is full. You’ll have to wait an hour before it can be fed again to get hearts after it’s hunger meter is full. Each bar of the hunger meter represents 30 minutes. You’ll know it’s been an hour when it isn’t full with 2 bars of the circle not filled. Hope this helps!
Hope you find another video on the topic that’s shorter for your liking! Thanks for taking the time to engage with this video to help it reach to more players who might appreciate it though. Best of luck to you 😀

I did some math and in total if you feed your buddy ever 30 minutes it would take 8 hours in total for it to become excited
Wow that sounds about right. Good thing we have all the other buddy activities we can do to shorten the time it takes 😄
Thanks for clarifying how to prevent the decay while waiting out the cool down. Very nice informative video bro. 😁

Woot woot! Congrats with the green bee ✨🐝! It’s definitely not a common spawn so it’s rare from that perspective. A discord for my channel is possible in the future - I want to focus on this platform first before and do enough research on discord management to best avoid toxicity that I’ve seen exist in other Pokémon GO discord servers.

Getting 32 emotions points helps attain excited mood which allows you to earn x2 hearts to increase friendship with your buddy for the day 😀

That's a good question! I am assuming the challenge will be catching all 151 during the event timeframe. It wouldn't be much of event if they checked if you completed the Kanto pokedex plus you'll probably have to catch all 151 during the event to progress through event research to get rewards. Once I research more about that event, I'll have a video covering that when I get the chance 😎
@@ChrystophirGO ok thx I'll be waiting for that video
Does battling a gym with your buddy in the party count as battling a team leader? Or is it it's own separate thing?
Good question! Battling a gym with your buddy in your team will give its own 2 emotion points separate from battling the AI team leader (Blanche, Candela, Spark). So if you did both of these different kinds of battles with your buddy in your battle team for both one after another, you'll get a total of 4 emotions points (2 EP from gym battle and 2 EP from team leader battle).
@@ChrystophirGO Jeez thanks! I'm trying to excite Chansey to farm candy and xl candy, this video was really helpful!
@@resean2727 Yay! Glad it was helpful to you 😀
I'm stuck on the last heart to get best buddy but it won't best buddy even though I got 13 hearts with it won't get best buddy
This is okay! When it looks like you’re ALMOST about to hit best buddy, it will probably take a couple more days of 10+ hearts to finally hit it. In some cases, you might just need 3-5 hearts to finally hit best buddy. Nothing is wrong with your game, just gotta get the next few hearts and you’ll eventually hit it 😁
buddy you were wrong. Emotion points don’t lower after 25 minutes, it’s after 35 mins when the cool down is gone. Come on
Thanks for the comment! I would advise you test it out yourself. Here’s how you can test it: get 16 emotion points to get the mood to Fun mood (^_^) the one before excited. After 25/26 minutes, it loses -1 EP to 15 EP, you’ll see the mood face change and drop to Smile (:D) mood. Please give it a try and let me know what you observe 😀
Emotion points use to be 32 but bow is 16 i believe its alot eazyer to hit excited not even worth a pffin any.ore if you were doing so
It’s still 32 I believe. It’s just the buddy actions you can do gives more emotion points therefore you gain more doing less actions to add up to 32.
@@ChrystophirGO i uaslly hit i 2 hours tho 4 points when you start plus 3+3+3+3 and i hit 4 at the start and then 3 every half hour bc of the decay they cut Ep inh half when Kalos mons came out if they are now 2 points each that adds up to 32 as well either way I like it alot more lol
Yes, overall, the most important part is being able to hit excited mood easier now hence why I made this video to explain the overall concept to help folks. Thanks for commenting 😀
@@ChrystophirGO yeah I hear you alot of ppl either don't know how to do it properly or know they can do it without poffins appreciate you helping everyone i just havent seen anyone like articles, Niantic youtbers talk about the fact they changed it. I knownits not the biggest deal in the game but haven't heard a word on it just curious is all.
Does the buddy have to be on the map to earn an EP while battling/walking?
Yes. The buddy has to be on the map aka been fed for it to appear on the map in order to gain hearts on it from walking or battling 😀
I have a question, how long dies it take to get best buddy with a pokemon
You need to earn 300 hearts to reach best buddy so it depends how many hearts you can get each day to determine an estimate how long it would take. Let’s say you can only earn 8 hearts a day depending what you’re able to do (feed x3, play, snapshot, battle x3) so 300/8 = 37.5 days to get to best friends at this rate. If you get in a few hearts from walking once in a while or get your buddy excited daily, you can speed it up to reach buddy sooner than 37.5 days. Hope this makes sense.
Does your buddies emotion change if you switch buddies
Yes it does! It will reset! So if you worked hard to get your buddy to excited mood and you switched to another buddy, it will not keep that excited mood and will reset. So make sure you’re absolutely sure you want to switch buddies if you’re in the middle of getting to excited mood or your buddy is in excited mood already. Hope this helped!
@@ChrystophirGO ok , thank you so much !
@@ChrystophirGO also , how do I get the rest of the hearts for giving my buddy a treat without losing the buddies excited mood ?
Good question. You want to plan to keep that excited buddy as your buddy until you can get all the hearts. What I do is keep it as my buddy when I hit excited mood then every hour after it is full, you’ll be able to feed it again to get another two hearts. You keep doing that until you get all the hearts for feeding. Usually it’s just up to two hours or less needed to fill those feeding hearts. So for example, you fed your excited buddy, got your hearts, and the meter is full then wait an hour, then you’ll be able to feed it again for the next hearts. Hope this makes sense. Let me know if you need more clarification.
@@ChrystophirGO Thank you so much for the quick responses! Keep up the good work ! 👍
I'm unable to encounter team rocket grunt since 2days....
Hey! Niantic disabled the balloons to fix issues with team go grunt encounters. I’ll follow up whenever they announce it’s fixed and resumes the balloons
I have a question.how do you deal with the emotion decay at night.does it just decay.(when your sleep)
Asleep*
Nice question. I’m assuming you’re thinking of a scenario when you’re still up pass midnight on a new day, you’re working on your buddy emotion points before you sleep, and you want to pick up where you left off when you wake up in the morning? Unfortunately, there is no way around emotion decay if you’re not consistently interacting with your buddy. There is no automated method to keep the emotion points from decaying if you’re not actively interacting with your buddy (in this case sleeping). For me personally, I just start in the morning when I wake up. Some folks leave it to start working on emotion points until the evening when they are done with work. Hope this answered your question.
@@ChrystophirGO thank you this really answered my question. Your videos are really great and helpfull
well when i feed it again after 30 min it doesnt get a new heart or anything ..
Emotion points are separate from the hearts. You don’t see the number of emotion points you’ve accumulated. In other words, when you feed a berry every 30 minutes, you’re correct you do not see anything but you get emotion points in the background. You have to keep track on your own if you want to count how many emotion points you’ve gained while trying to reach 32 emotion points. Just remember hearts and emotion points are two different things. Hearts go towards buddy level. Emotion points go towards mood to get x2 hearts.
@@ChrystophirGO oh thanks for the answer
Tryna make a dragonite. I got 81 dragonair candy!
Nice!! Hopefully some Dratini will spawn during the Kanto event to help you out even more 😎
1,000 SUBS LETS GOOOO
Will their be free TM's in the shop? I don't have TM's!!!
The heart was for the comment question haha. But to answer your question, unfortunately I do not think Niantic will be that generous. Your best bet is to either battle in GBL for the chance to get TMs or do some raids.
Ok thank you for the help 🙏 application for the response 👍
it your buddy is not excited anymore, do we lose the extra heart we already won. or not ??
Good question! All the extra hearts you gain when your buddy was excited will NOT be lost when it is no longer excited anymore 😎
@@ChrystophirGO thank you XD, i didn't think you will responde that quick yeyyy. the video was really helpful, i followed the schedual you mentioned in the exemple and it worked perfectly
No problem - happy to answer pgo questions from the community 😀. Glad the video helped you get your buddy excited 😊! Keep it up to get that best buddy status eventually
Nice finally got 1k
Yes! Thanks for being a part of the growth - cheers to the next goal!
Who has the time for this tho? Every 15 min for 2hrs
Definitely a fair question. There are also other ways to expedite the emotion point gains like walking or finding a new pokestop to visit or battling in gyms to help achieve excited mood under 2 hours to maybe 1 hour 30 minutes or less. But it is a free approach and it beats spending pokecoins for poffins though so I think folks like to think of it that way 😎
What I can do after my buddy get exited?
Mainly earn more hearts to raise buddy level faster and the walking distance to get candy is cut in half so it will be easier to get candy from walking. Those 2 are the main benefits from getting your buddy excited. Let me know if you have more questions 😀
@@ChrystophirGO now he is exited, I feed him, but the heart of the food don't go up, why?
@@ChrystophirGO thx for the answer
Ah, with feeding there, you can’t feed it when it is full. You’ll have to wait an hour before it can be fed again to get hearts after it’s hunger meter is full. Each bar of the hunger meter represents 30 minutes. You’ll know it’s been an hour when it isn’t full with 2 bars of the circle not filled. Hope this helps!
@@ChrystophirGO thx✌😍
