Pokemon Go Sustainability Week Bonuses

A major part of Sustainability Week is the additional bonuses for Buddy Pokemon. They are as follows:

• Increased frequency of Buddy Pokémon bringing you Souvenirs and presents.
• Your buddy will spend more time on the map after being fed Berries or Poffins.
• The distance to earn buddy hearts will be halved.

This makes Sustainability Week a great way to spend time with a new or old Buddy, particularly ones you’re hoping to achieve Best Buddy status with.
