Bonuses
- Earn 4× Buddy Candy (Tip: Turn on Adventure Sync to make every step count!)
- Visit new PokéStops and earn 10× XP on your first spin of each Photo Disc
- Trainers who have Adventure Sync activated and walk 50 km will earn 50,000 Stardust and 15 Rare Candies!
Field Research

The Buddy Candy increase is a fine incentive on its own, but no true Pokemon fan can resist the lure of a Shiny Pokemon! Plus, 10X the amount of the usual XP earned?! That’s insane! And definitely a solid reason to jump back in for those that may have taken a break or haven’t tried the mobile experience at all.
