Buddies have a progression system that players can utilize to unlock abilities for them. This progression system is based on acquiring hearts for your companion. Trainers can earn up to 11 per day regularly or up to double this amount by buying a poffin item for 100 Pokecoins. There are a total of four levels players can get their companion to reach. The Ultra Buddy level is where your companion will unlock the ability to find a location for you.
