Pokemon GO Buddy Tier List ?
Pokemon GO Buddy Tier List is a comprehensive chart showing the most efficient Pokemon to use as Buddies. This chart only displays only evolving Pokemon, and does not account for upgrade cost. The data used is verified and confirmed accurate: we combined the data from our Evolution Multipliers Chart, Buddy Distance Chart and Spawn Rates Chart.
The formulas used take account the value of walking and potential CP outcome, spawn rate and time it takes to evolve a Poke just by walking. The chart is sorted from best to worst Buddy Pokemon.
